Meeting my siblings. Pt. 1 (CLOSED)

I was sitting in the infirmary with Finn and Luke as we joked among ourselves, trying to distract our attention from the condition she was in. Finn looked happy to have the company, and Luke and I were happy to offer it. The three of us were interrupted by a knock at the door. We all shut up immediately from laughing about a story Finn was telling that included Gary and some angry tree nymphs. It could have been anyone, Chiron or Mr.D, or even an injured camper, but usually they busted through the door yelling things and is every time scared the absolute crap out of me. How Roxy dealt with that without even flinching was a mystery to me, but I guessed if you'd been doing this for long enough you'd get used to it. I stepped out of the dark curtain that hid Finn and pulled it back so that she was out of site. I walked to the door, opening it to see Xavier, the boy that had thrown a sword into the arm of a satyr I had to stitch up.
"Hi," I greeted with a friendly smile, although I was confused as to why he was here. I looked him up and down giving him a once over look to make sure he wasn't injured, when it was all seemingly clear, I relaxed a bit and placed my hand on the door frame, tucking my right leg behind my left in a relaxed posture.

(Let Gin reply next, she wanted to be in on this since Finn is her NPC char.)

I watched as luke came crashing down. As he did, I jumped backwards a little from fear. For i did not know that he was there. I quickly covered my mouth to restrain myself from laughing. Although my hand was over my mouth a small snicker did escape through my lips. As i quickly regained my composure, I stepped forawd a little to get a better veiw of the infirmary.

"Ummmm..... I had came to see my sister...."

I said quietly. Even though i had met these guys before, I still felt a little uncomfortable. As I said this I rotated my head a little to find Luke staring at me. It made me very uncomfortable so I decided to step back out of his view.

I pulled up a chair for Xavier to sit on as I stood a little ways back, giving them room for brother-to-sister sibling talk. No wonder talk of Finn's illness spread among the Hermes cabin, they're almost as bad as the Aphrodite cabin in terms of gossip, and Finn has been there the longest out of most of them there. News of her would spread like wildfire. I would hope that the Hermes cabin had the respect to not tell the other cabins, though.
I watched as Finn looked at her new half brother, a crooked smile on her face.
"Xavier, huh? Wicked name." She croaked out, trying to make herself as casual as ever.
If there was someone who hated showing weakness, it was Finn. I could tell she was trying hard to make Xavier not worry for her condition.
"You know, after being here for seven years you think you would get used to getting a new sibling with our cabin bursting out the seems." Finn's eyes glinted in admiration. "Nope, never gets old. Would you do me a favor and keep all our other half brothers and sister in check? They're all a bunch of no good larrikan's if you ask me."
I chuckled. As if Xavier is going to understand Finn's strange Australian slang.

Finn looked at her brother with an impressed expression, or, all she could muster of one. I thought about the poor kid who had to eat yellow paint for lunch that day, but smirked in amusement at his story about peeing on the doctor in his first minutes of life.
"You, ya' little hellraiser, are gonna' have to deal with me when I get outta Nurse Fletch's possession if you get into any trouble," Finn said, her words slurring slightly as she spoke, making them even harder to understand with the added affect of her Australian accent. A grin slid onto my face. Finn had been calling me Nurse Fletch since I had stepped up to the plate to be Roxy's right hand man and look after Finn. It hadn't been the greatest nickname I had ever had at first, but I had warmed up to it quickly, just like I'd warmed up to Haiku Face. Finn turned her head to give me a cheeky grin. I raised my eyebrows in response, wanting to come back with a witty retort, but I wasn't always good at those on the spot, so I grinned back at her and held up my fingers curled into a peace sign with the back of my hand facing her. It was an old style way of giving the finger created in the French Revolution by English Archers that had had their ring and pinkie fingers cut off in torture. For someone using a sword, it would be problematic to not have those fingers, but we archers only needed our middle and index fingers to pull back. The memory of Quintyn explaining that to me after reading about it in one of the books she had found in the Athena cabin library came back to me. Quin had never struck me as a bookworm, but in her free time she liked to curl up with a book and read while no one was watching. Ask her if she did, and she'd deny it of course, but she came at me with too many facts about random things like how when two Humpback wales mate, they need a third to hold them up so they don't sink, to fool me into thinking she wasn't reading. I shook my head and brought my attention back to Finn and Xavier
"So, Bud," she said, "How long have you been here? And why haven't I gotten a visit sooner, you slacker." She winked at him lightheartedly. It was nice to see Finn enjoying herself so much. As much as Luke and I knew that she loved our company, she never got many others coming here. To see a new face around camp must have been incredibly refreshing for the daughter of Hermes.

I had to think really hard about that. I pulled my right earlobe softly, something I often did while thinking, and tried to remember. It had been a while. It was hard to tell exactly when.

"I think it was around like a week ago. Yeah. Definitely a week."

I looked at Finn and smiled. It was great to have a sister. I just couldn't believe it.

"And I found out from some kids in the cabin earlier on in the week. They told me not to tell anyone else. So I didn't. I was bored after polishing my sword.....Hahahahaha....oh man"

I wiped a tear from my eye after laughing uncontrollably for thirty seconds.

"But anyways, I had nothing to do and decided to come talk to you. Ya know?"

"Because I definitely am." Finn added with a sly laughter.
I raised my eyebrows.
"Oh really?" I asked inquisitively. "Who?"
Finn gave me a smirk. "Hey now, we're talking about Xavier here."
I let out a light hearted scoff. Finn was impressively evasive with personal questions, but that's what she does best.
"C'mon he's just got here and you're already asking him that?"
"Hey, there's a lot of pretty girls at camp. It's not much to simply look at one." Finn pointed out.
I shrugged.
"Kids these days." I dismissed.
I tilted my head back looking towards Xavier for his answer.
"Might as well ask. Any ladies? Boys? Forest creatures?" I asked.
Might as well give Xavier a multiple choice questionnaire. I never liked asking acquaintances about their personal lives, but since Finn was bent on being the embarrassing big sister, we might as well be the embarrassing friends of the big sister.

Luke, Finn and I laughed at Xavior's manly display. I liked this kid, he had a sense of humor, and I liked a sense of humor. I knew he and Finn would get along perfectly around camp once she got out of this infirmary. Finn looked at Xavior with her eyebrows raised in an impressed expression.
"You remind me so much of Finn it's scary," I found myself saying out loud, grinning as I calmed down from my laughter. He really did, though. With his charcoal black eyes that carried the same mystery to them as Finn's did.
"You got that right," Finn replied with a light tone to her voice. "When I get out of here, this camp's gonna be in trouble."
"Gods, I don't know if the camp could handle you too together" I said, a sarcastic tone to my voice.
"Just you wait, Haiku Face," she said turning to me. "you'll be our first target." Under the blankets she made a gesture with her hands, that could only be her fist intimidatingly colliding with the palm of her hand.
"Is that anyway to treat your nurse?" I said, a jokingly hurt expression crossing my face. Finn replied with a sly smirk, that look she got when she was about to be flirtatious.
"Oh, you don't wanna know how I treat my nurses, Fletch," she said. I caught on to her innuendo and scoffed, turning my blushing face away from her, but keeping a grin plastered onto it. She turned to Xavier, her usual, unreadable and relaxed expression was back.
"Speaking of targets," she started. "Have you given into the Hermes way and stolen anything yet?" She asked curiously.
