"Mr. Spock?"
"Mr. Spock?"
"I'm not leaving Mr. Spock. In fact I'm going to sit here till you decide to talk to me." Aiden sat with a huff, crossing his arms and looking out past the barrier. He would keep watch, just like Mr. Spock.
"Aiden?" Aiden scrambles to his feet looking up the tree waiting for the voice to come again. "Aiden?" The voice didn't come from the tree, no, it came from a very familiar camp counciler and son of Jupiter.
"Yes, Jason?" Aiden sat back down and continued his watch.
"Whatchya doing, buddy?" The blonde haired immortal asked.
"I'm waiting for Mr. Spock to talk to me."
"Mr. Spock?"
"Yes, Mr. Spock. Our gaurdian. Chiron told me he has to keep his emotions in check so he can do his job." Aiden said matter of factly.
"Hence, Mr. Spock. I see now." Jason chanced a glance up at the shadow but 'Mr. Spock' didn't move.
"Chiron said that only a few people know him. He said that he was a great hero a long time ago. You're old, did you know him?" Jason laughed at being called old but quickly fell silent. He honeslty hadn't thought too much of 'their gaurdian' in quite awhile. Which, he supposed, was the heroes' plan. He wanted to disappear and be forgotten, do his job so no one would have to worry and leaving everyone to think of arts and crafts and capture the flag. "Chiron did that too when I asked." Aiden's voice cut through the fog of thoughts in his mind.
"I'm sorry, it's been awhile," Jason whispered.
"I said you were old, I wasnt kidding." Aiden guffawed. "So, why'd you come looking for me?" Jadon had forgotten the whole reason he was here. Getting late. Dinner.
"Dinner... it's time for dinner. I came to get you, didn't want you to miss it. I know how grumpy you get without food." Jason ended with a smile.
"I dont get grumpy!" Aiden pouts out. His indignation giving him away. Jason only gave him a look and the boy conceeded. Aiden sighed defeatedly interjecting, "Okay, so I need food but I can't leave Mr. Spock. I told him I wouldn't."
"I think Mr. Spock will forgive you for eating. He's not one to skip meals himself." The lie came out easily. Their gaurdian doesn't eat, he once ate anything amd everything but he hadn't needes to for decades now. He wasn't limited by mortal means. Jason starts walking toward the dining pavillion, Aiden hesitating before following.
"Bye, Mr. Spock. I'll see you after the campfire tonight!" Aiden spins to face Jason before excitedly asking, "What should I eat tonight?"
"What ever you want, buddy." Jason smiled as he listened to Aiden list all the foods he could eat but his mind wandered to a time when a nice meal wasn't so certain.
