“It’ll be ok,” he whispered, letting go of her hand and wrapping his arm around her waist. Gift wrapped around her legs, making them feel more secure.

“Yeah. It’ll be ok.”

Jenny repeated Ed’s words, trying to convince herself that she believed them. That didn’t work too well, so she decided to just ignore the fact that she was in a very tall, weirdly shaped structure. She was pretty good at ignoring things. She looked at Ed and smiled, although it wasn’t a particularly big one.

”Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. You don’t have to go up if you don’t want to.”

“No, I want to.”

Jenny didn’t want to be alone, and she didn’t want to make anyone stay behind from going to the top. Rationally, she knew that everyone would probably be fine. They wouldn’t let people go up if it wasn’t safe. That didn’t mean she liked it, though.

“Ok.” He kissed her cheek, then walked to the elevator.

Elsie was bouncing excitedly. She was very obviously excited to go to the top of the arch.

"I'm also excited. I have always wanted to go to the arch, but I was not thinking straight when I ran away." Harold said, catching up to Elsie. "What cabin are you in again? I forgot."

She looked at him, and cocked her head to the side. "Cabin? What do you mean?"

Jenny followed, managing to hide her extreme reluctance. Ed being there for her helped, though. She would’ve started panicking long before this if she was alone. Well, even more than she currently was.

Elsie was bouncing. That meant you were excited, right? She smiled. Elsie was a pretty cute kid. Hopefully she didn’t bounce when they were on the elevator, though. Jenny wasn’t a huge fan of those either.

"Oh yeah. You joined us after we left camp. That's right. I'm sorry. I forget things easily." Harold said, trying not to disclose too much about his history. He would, in time. Maybe when he wasn't on a quest.

"Oh. That's fine! I forget things a lot too." She said, grinning at him.

He smiled. He was making another friend. He doesn't have many, but there are more now than he ever had. "I'm glad this group actually accepts me. No other had. And trust me, I've tried a lot."

She gave him a sad look. "I'm sorry. Do you want a hug?" She fished through her backpack. "Here." She handed him a Snickers bar.

"Thank you. For the Snickers bar and being nice. Many people aren't nice to everybody. They don't understand how much it hurts. It's okay, we can't change the past. But we can change the future." Harold was very happy on that elevator ride.

Elsie grinned, proud of herself for making another friend. She then got a thought, and looked at Harold. "Oh! Which god is your parent?" She asked, curious.

"Mine is Apollo. Which kind of makes sense, because I love archery. Have you been claimed yet?"

"Nope! It's my mom tho. I have absolutely no idea who it could be. But archery is awesome! Do you have a bow?"

"I do have a bow." Harold said, taking out his bow. "I got this one at Camp. Before, though, I made my own. It was pretty bad. Imagine a twig with a shoestring. I could still hit my targets, though. Unless it broke. That happened a lot."

I'm going to bed now.

Understandable. I should probably go to bed too.

But I won't, because I am good at like 3 things, and one of them is making really bad decisions.

Elsie's eyes widened. "That's so cool!"

A woman was on the elevator with them, a caged chihuahua in her hand. It growled. “Quite down, my baby.”

Elsie immediately located the 'dog'. She gasped. "You have a dog! How cute! What's it's name?" She asked, walking excitedly towards the lady. "Can I pet it?"

Yeah, uh, this is 100% what I would have done.

Jenny immediately forgot her nervousness and bent down to peer inside the cage. She loved dogs. While she hadn’t met many, she’d adored each one she saw. This one looked really weird.

The dog snapped at them both, growling loudly. Edgar pulled Jenny back.

 The woman looked at Elsie. “Not yet, my dear.”

Jenny deflated. This was a pretty common reaction for her. While she loved animals, the feeling tended to not be reciprocated. Apparently she smelled like death. At least her necromantically revived animals didn’t hate her. That would be a bit hypocritical of them.

"Okay!" She said, still cheerful.
