Greek Mythology Roleplay

Columbina
Ollie brushed off Ethel's attitude, ducking her head when she was greeted by name by the medics as she entered, due to the amount of times she had been in here. She veered off from Ethel after nearing a bed housing a napping blonde, settling down into the seat beside the bed and taking the girl's hand. "Hey, Mick." She murmured, and the girl in mention turned, regarding her with eyes a little too alike Ethel's for comfort. "Hey, Ollie." She rasped, and Ollie patiently handed her the cup of water by the bed, waiting until she had finished drinking to return the cup to it's little ring of condensation on the bedside. "How's..... Beau?" She tested out the name she was almost sure belonged to who she was talking about, sighing in relief as Ollie nodded. "We're... well, we're looking for him. I'm leaving on a quest today, to go look for him." Ollie absently traced the fading writing on the back of Mika's hand, thumb barely brushing over the skin. She felt the girl tense a little, and not just from the contact, and gave a little reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Maggie's going to come in and see you, anyways." "....Tall, light brown hair.... she let the younger kids paint her nails?" Ollie's smile grew, and Mika knew that she had remembered the right person. "She's cute, y'know." Ollie gave a startled although genuine laugh, covering her mouth with her hand as she hunched over, face flushing red as she just genuinely laughed. "I- Oh my god- You just- Mika!" The other girl chucked, relieved to remember that Ollie wasn't one for judging. "You should tell her." Ollie managed out, still gasping for breath, leaning in to hug Mika tightly, grinning as she pulled away and pat her hand with finality, standing. "I'll see you when i get back." If I get back, that is. "See ya, squirt." Mika hummed, rolling back over and shutting her eyes as Ollie made her way back to Ethel - she couldn't help it, she was always drawn to whoever she felt safer with.

Ethel
 She confidently marched up to Denver, blinking up at him. "Ollie's probably over there flirting with someone, but we're ready if you are," she informed the medic, casting the girl in mention a brief glance.

Denver
Denver nodded. "I've got everything I can think of, times three."

Ethel
 Ethel nodded. "Sounds good then. When we leave, what general direction do you think we should start going in? Or do you have a specific location in mind?"

Denver
"We could start up near the great lakes?" Denver shrugged. "I don't really know what I'm doing."

Columbina
Ollie shrugged helplessly. "I've never been anywhere outside the camp in this country, sans Camp Jupiter. I'll have to leave navigation to you guys."

Ethel
 "Then it's decided," she concluded decisively. "We head up to Michigan, find Beau, come home." A very short pause. "Go home. We have different homes. This isn't my home. I'm going home afterward." Am I really? Can I really call my drunken father's hideaway a home? It's not even his home. His home is where he grew up, in Virginia.

Columbina
"I won't be. I'm not flying in for another couple months." Ollie grumbled, pouting her lips. It was true - she wasn't going home home until after Christmas (gonna take a stab in the dark and say its like,,,, this time in the year for them as it is for us) so CHB would have to do for now. I wonder what Ethel's home is like? 

Ethel
 "Well aren't you special," she responded bluntly, finally turning to look at Ollie. "But really though, where do you live?"

Columbina
Ollie shot Ethel an easy, lopsided grin, raising a brow. "Blonde and tan. Take a guess, love - it's not any of the Americas."

Ethel
 "I would say California, but that's in the US, so... Australia? That's a wild guess; I've never left the country, no thanks to my dad," she replied, head tilted in thought.

Columbina
Ollie laughed, startled by the immediate answer. "Spot on, mate! I was born in Canberra, but we've lived in Gold Coast for as long as I can remember." She tilted her head, grin fading into more of a coy, teasing smile. "You might have to come visit, sometime. Inlaws will love you."

Ethel
 Ethel scoffed dismissively, though she'd be lying if she said she wasn't blushing slightly. "Yeah, no. Family and me don't mix."

Columbina
"That's just 'cause you haven't met my family yet. C'mon, Pops would love you! Cam should be home soon, anyways." Not for long, I'll bet. "And you could take your first trip out of the US."

Ethel
 "Yeah, sure. Lex and Nick loved me too. And I'd like to think that Uncle Cecil didn't have much of a problem with me either, until... That's not important. Point is, no," she replied curtly, not leaving much room for debate. "We should really get going on our quest now."
