“Youuuu are my new best friend.” Diego grinned, giving her a great big thumbs up. “I totally forgive you for completely kicking my ass that one time.”

I’m just tagging along! Don’t get ahead of yourself.

“Something, anything.” Daphne encouraged, looking hopeful.

This is stupid. 

Free time and some boredom.

I hope this helped. 

They do, but it’s not a nice feeling…

Great! Let’s keep up the pace, right?

Yeah, that’s also true.

Most of my time is spent on the other side of the portal.

That’d explain it.

“Still not sure that would work.” Diego sighed. But it was better to ask permission than to ask forgiveness from a god. “Maybe…you wanna come with me?”

... Fine. But only because this game is starting to sound fun.

“Anything…not…camp related?”

Uh...

I’ve been called nerd in a very despective way plenty of times because of it…

And you’re not doing your homework, come on.

People always talk a lot of shit. 

Not exactly a newbie.

I haven’t seen you around before.

Kobolds are cute. Kind of.

But… that’s– that’s why I do for fun.

You shouldn’t have been so embarrassed to tell me. Its kind of cool.

Just taking a look around. 

And then I got too close to the lake. Thanks, nymphs.

Poking around the woods is a generally a good way to find trouble. At least for newbies.

“You’d think, right?” Diego asked, swallowing hard. “He’s definitely not the warmest of fuzzies. Does not translate into good father son talks.”

Good think this isn’t a serious talk, you just need permission.

“But what do you like to do?” Daphne asked, curious now. “What makes you happy?”

I like being at camp. And sparring is usually fun.

Did not! They’re just… not that popular.

I knooooooow. It’s awful. But think of the movie: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 

They must be the lame ones. 

Yeah, I can see that.

I’m Bobby, by the way.

Teddy. What were you doing roaming around?

Daphne shrugged. “Pretty much. Isn’t there something you like to do? Something that fuels your drive?” 

Explains all the cheeriness. I think most of what I do I just... Have to do.
