It took Emery a moment to place Trinity, scrolling through her mental list of the demigods she was aware of. "Trinity's an Ares, right? I'd love to train with you guys, if you'll have me." It would certainly help - she'd heard Ares children were known for their combat skills, and while she could definitely speak for her Artemis-given hunting gifts, it would definitely be interesting to see how she matched up to a veteran like Trinity.
Andy's usage of the past tense didn't slip past Emery. She scrambled for a way to skirt around the discomfort Andy would no doubt feel if she pursued the topic. "My grandma, yeah, she pretty much raised me. She was the toughest old lady I ever knew, and she wanted me to be perfect so she tried to lead by example." Emery thought about it for a while. "I miss her." The admission was unexpected, taking even Emery herself by surprise. She tried not to think about her grandma too much, focusing instead on how happy she would have been if she knew how well Emery was doing now.
"Looks like someone set her off."
Expecting to see someone else, Emery propped herself up on one elbow, looking around. "Set who off?" There was nobody else around, but a flash of lightning zipped overhead and caught her eye. Watching the storm visibly form in the sky, the connection was pretty easily made. "I take it you're not the biggest fan of the Zeus children? Or... just Alex?" It wasn't hard to catch gossip here and there of the relationship the Valis boy was in, but Emery didn't want to pry too much. Andy could share if she wanted to, that was all.

"Is it a just a stereotype, then, that Eris children are all manipulative?" Ji-hyun tossed the question back casually, smiling to show he didn't really mean it. "Would you say that the kids here are similar to their siblings? Because I haven't been paying attention, but if it's a stereotype maybe it's rooted in fact."
"For what it's worth, I don't think I fall under what would be assumed for an Eris child." Ji-hyun nodded attentively, nursing his soda in both hands. "I mean... I have the abilities, and I'm atually better at them than my brother. But I don't find much pleasure in using them."
Ji-hyun leaned forward, genuinely interested now. "What can you guys do? I assume children of discord are able to influence emotions, but I'm not too sure of your other abilities."
Outside thunder rumbled, and he instinctively turned to look out the window, eyes flicking up to the dark clouds. "Ah, those two, on the other hand... they could be good at what they did if they wanted to, but with all the storms they're bringing to camp it's a wonder the ecosystem isn't entirely ruined by unnecessary amounts of rain." He didn't think very much of the Zeus children, and he wasn't afraid to say so. "Total waste of energy if you ask me." He focused on Sloane again. "But nevermind them. You were saying?"
