Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nadia~!" Garrett called, walking around near the girls' cabins. He obviously hadn't gone by the lake, and though he was approaching one of the more forested areas, he didn't plan to check that much. If he started looking around the trees, he'd be searching for ages. "Nadia!" he called again.

It only took about five or so more minutes for Garrett to decide to give up. If it had been one of the kids, there was no way he would hvae stopped, but Nadia could take care of herself. Stretching his arms and giving one last glance around, the teenager started back toward the cafeteria.

Just as he had left right before him, Garrett got back to the cafeteria only a minute or two after Bryant. The only difference was that the younger male hadn't brought anyone back with him. Immediately he reported to his mother. "I couldn't find her, but she's around somewhere," he told her, "She'll be back soon enough."

When she saw Bryant return with Zach and Taki, Chloe headed over to her classmate. "So you found him," she spoke, referring to the child. She didn't care so much about whether or not Zach had been found, though for his brother's sake she supposed it was a good thing.

"I'm sure Brittany and Chloe wouldn't mind watching Nadia's girls for a while," Garrett offered. It wasn't like one of the guys could; they had a completely different set of cabins to go to. "Brittany knows where Peach Cabin is, and all the girls really seem to like Chloe..." Really, he was just trying to save time. Plus he didn't want to have to go search again if his mom sent him to, when he had no clue where to look.

"Can you please watch your language around the kids?" Chloe's voice was stern, as if speaking to a misbehaving child (which more or less described Zach in her mind anyway). She knew, as everyone else did, she would not be getting along with the teenager, but as long as the children didn't pick up any bad habits from him, she figured she could deal with him.

"Actually," interrupted Chloe before Zach could go off with his brother, "He's not in your cabin." No way was she letting some punk talk to her like that! "So you go stand by the older kids, and Taki can go with his group."

"Don't worry about it mom," Garrett reassured the woman with a grin, "Nadia will be back soon enough; Chloe and Brittany will be fine."

Brittany, though she wanted to hang around Bryant as Chloe was doing, was offset by Zach's presence. Besides, she had to keep an eye on her girls. The older group tended to have the most drama, and while there were not a lot of them, there were enough girls to be worried about.

Garrett mentally winced, though his outer expression didn't really change. Sorry Nadia, he apologized in his mind. It wasn't that he thought his mom was seriously going to scold the girl; it was more that he didn't like his mother spending more time than necessary talking to the other counselors. "Eh, right mom..." he spoke rather unenthusiastically.

Chloe let Zach's b***h comment go for the time being, though there was a clear annoyance in her eyes before she headed over to her group. Of course, it was gone in an instant when she got to the girls; they were more important than Zach.

Brittany was already leading Grape Cabin out of the cafeteria. Peach Cabin was following close behind, and Chloe led the Strawberry Cabin girls as they took up the rear.

((Sure? xD I just had Brittany leading 'cause she knew where to go xD))

Garrett's boys followed after Bryant, but he kept an eye on Zach out of the corner of his eye. This caused Garrett to walk somewhat sideways, but he still watched where he was going.

The cabins were not that far away, and so the girls arrived within a couple of minutes. Brittany showed her girls into Grape Cabin, though most of them had been there before. She then took the Peach girls, walking them over to their cabin, which was close enough to her own.
