Andrew stays hidden, not having much in the way of effective fire spells *and being out of spell slots*. He slowly makes his way back to the cabins.
On the way back, he hears the sound of rustling in a nearby bush. Half obscured by the leaves, a boy around 15-16 is laying there, curled up and sleeping. He looks to be having a bad dream, the rough ground probably not helping his sleep. He has black hair, medium length and a bit of a tangled mess, wearing a faded t shirt and ripped jeans. This kid is really skinny, clearly malnourished, and completely unarmed.
Andrew notices, and fearing the kid might get attacked if that wolf returns, he gently shakes the boy awake. "Hey, kid...this isn't a safe place to sleep."
He wakes up with a start, gasping. “I- wh- where am I?” He looks up at Andrew in intense confusion, eyes a bright hazel that’s almost silvery in the moonlight.
"You are at Camp Half-Blood kid." Andrew says.
“Camp.. Half-Blood..? What is that?” He looks confused. Andrew can feel his fear rising. “Who are you?”
"I'm Andrew Moros." he says calmly, sitting down so he isn't looming too much over the kid. "It's a camp for demigods, children of the greek pantheon. You somehow ended up here. Are you alright, you look like you haven't eaten in a bit, and you were sleeping restlessly."

He winces, rubbing his head. “I.. have a really terrible headache. I don’t.. know how I got here. I remember a car crash, and that’s it..”

He chuckles. “Yeah, but it’s only when it’s like, actually hot. Usually, I just feel the same, kinda cold, no matter what temperature it actually is. Unless it’s like, 100 degrees. Then I’m too hot.”
“But you actually like the cold, right? And.. wait a minute, that means your pillow is always cold! That’s nice!”
“Yeah, kinda! I mean, I don’t like the cold that much, it’s just that I’m always only kinda cold so it doesn’t bother me. Being warm is still nice. Which is why I like being around you so much-“ he boops Alex on the nose. “You warm me up.”
Alex looks a little embarrassed. “Caleb! You can’t just say things like that! You have to give me a warning or I’ll melt..” He trails off into a mumble, shoving his face into Caleb’s shoulder.
Caleb wraps his arm around Alex, giggling. “Oh, shush.” He plays with Alex’s hair with his hand.

“Now I’m the snowcone!” Alex sets his book down, sighing happily.

"Possibly. Maybe I should recruit one of the demigods of a nature god that isn't Artemis, maybe the have magic that can help us communicate with the fox. I'm also getting the feeling the more I read this that the "Oath bearers" that I will have to deal with...might be Hunters of Artemis..."

The snake shifts, now wrapped around both of their wrists, going very still as he seems overwhelmed
Noctis tries to go and find one of the head camp counselors.
Investigation
8
It seems theyve gone to bed by now or something... *Side note: Clover's body being missing when Makana goes to bury her is gonna make her panic lmao*
*Well, what Noctis doesn't know won't help determine his actions in the moment. lol*
Unsure of what else to do, he heads to The Big House.
The door is cracked open and he hears 'WAKAWAKAWAKAWAKA' coming from inside...
"...eh?"
*Could I get a reminder his last name?* The pac-man noises play loudly as the controls can also be heard clicking
*Aspera is Noctis's last name* "Uh...hello?"
Mr D's voice comes from inside "Is that Alice? Alice Ciera out there..?"
