Snow had finally fallen on Camp Half-Blood. Zoey had put red and green streaks in her hair then skipped off to the Hermes cabin. She knew Connor had been the one at the door when she got there – somehow she was able to tell them apart. “You, me, Travis, Kevin. Double date at the lake. Be there in ten minutes,” was all she had said before leaving to go get the son of Thanatos. Unfortunately, it took her over ten minutes to convince Kevin.
Apparently the son of Thanatos didn’t know how to ice skate and didn’t want to leave his cabin. When she tried to reason with him that Travis could teach him, which would involve the son of Hermes touching him, his face had simply turned pink and he’d curled up in his bed. She then threatened to drag him there in his pajamas. That didn’t work either – since both of them knew that she wouldn’t make good on that threat. She couldn’t embarrass someone as sweet as him.
He’d been doing well since his attack. Physically, he had gotten better. He’d kept to himself in his cabin a lot, though. He had a scar on his chest, a mark burned into his skin. But he was slowly returning to his old self. And the thought of getting out of his cabin and spending time with Travis slowly grew into a small smile on his face. He shooed Zoey out of the cabin and got changed. When he came out, she was grinning at him with two pairs of ice skates clasped by their laces in her hands.
“Hey boys!” she called out in a greeting as she neared the lake’s edge with Kevin. She set the ice skates down and gave Connor a quick peck on the cheek. “Have you two done this before? Ice-skating, I mean.” She looked up at the twins, having sat down on the ground and removed her shoes, now in the process of pulling her skates on.
Kevin had quietly gotten his skates on and was pushing himself to his feet. He tried to take a step forward and wobbled, reaching out to grasp onto Travis for support. "How do people walk in these?" he asked, clinging onto Travis and looking down at his skates. "It's like very hard balancing."
Zoey lightly rolled her eyes and got to her feet, much better than Kevin had done, but she had much more practice than him. She moved her way onto the lake, sliding a few feet onto the ice before stopping and giving a grin at the others. "You don't walk in these, you skate," she explained before she turned her attention to Connor. She wave him a smirk and a little wave of her finger as if to say come and get me before skating off toward the middle of the lake.
