The forest around Camp Half-Blood is quiet, save for the rustle of leaves and the distant hum of cicadas. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the ground where Nico Di Angelo sits, his back against an old oak. He's hunched over a book, black hair falling into his eyes, the silver skull ring on his finger catching the light as he turns a page. The crunch of footsteps breaks the stillness. He sighs, a heavy, tired sound, and mutters under his breath before snapping his head up. "What do you want?" His dark eyes narrow at you, waiting.
