(“When will little Lunar like a boy eh? I want to have a good talk with your first boyfriend Little Star.” “Papa! I’m to λίγο for a boyfriend!” “Too lígo eh?”) ~~~ The next morning, at breakfast, Lunar replayed last night’s interaction with Kai. He wanted to hang out with Lunar. This made her very happy, given that she wanted more reason to have a crush on Kai. At breakfast, Lunar ate her simple bagel, which the others had gotten used to. Towards the end of breakfast, Chiron had an announcement. “ Campers! May I have your attention please?” He waited for the chatter to stop. “Today, we will have a camper permanently moving into Artemis Cabin.” Some of the chatter started back up, but this time speculation that a new Hunter was joining from camp. “Please, I must finish! Our camper is not becoming a Hunter of Artemis. She is the daughter of Artemis. It will be Lunar Days, currently living in Hermes Cabin. If you want to know more, ask Lunar herself. Please note that she doesn’t speak English. She only speaks Ancient Greek,”Chiron said. “That is all. Have a good day, campers!” Lunar was heavily blushing, because the entire Hermes table had started to stare at her. Cecil came to her rescue, “Lunar, do you want help moving your stuff into your cabin?” Lunar started to answer, but was interrupted from behind. “No. We will help her.” It was Reyna, along with Thalia and Annabeth. “Sorry, Cecil. Maybe we can talk later.” Lunar said, then added quietly, “I’ll explain then.” She stood up to follow the girls, who walked to Hermes Cabin to help Lunar grab her things. Once they reached the cabin and inside at Lunar’s bunk, they were surprised at how very neat it was. Her bed was made perfectly, her stuff in perfect piles underneath the bed. “How do you keep it this neat?” Thalia asked. Lunar shrugged, she had always been very careful about keeping things neat. Things being out of order bothered her in a way she couldn’t understand or explain. “Well, at least you don’t have much to move into your cabin.” Annabeth said, grabbing a stack from underneath the bed. Reyna pulled the bedding off her bed and folded it neatly. Lunar and Thalia grabbed the other stacks of stuff, then they all walked out towards Artemis Cabin. Upon reaching the cabin, they walked inside for Lunar to discover that the Hunters had cleared out the corner near the attached bathroom to be Lunar’s space. Once Lunar had set her stack of stuff down, she thanked the Hunters in the cabin for making space for her. Then she set to work organizing her things and making her bed. She had a small cubby, so she put what she wanted in there, and stored the rest of it underneath the bed. She made the bed neatly, being careful not to leave any creases. She sort of ignored the others in the cabin while doing this, so focused on everything being perfectly neat. Her tongue slipped through her lips in concentration, oblivious t o the others watching her so intrigued. “Um, Lunar? I think it’s good now.” Annabeth said after a little while of watching Lunar smooth out the blanket on her bed. Lunar started slightly, she was so focused she hadn’t realized how smooth the blanket already was. “Sorry. I’ve always been very particular about it being neat.” Lunar said, blushing when she realized they had all been watching her. “It’s ok. Hey, does uncleanliness bother you most of the time? Like, to the point it makes you upset?” Annabeth said, as if an idea was forming in her brain. Lunar nodded. She felt that way very often. It was why she always kept everything tidy. Annabeth nodded continuously, gazing off into the distance. Reyna cleared her throat, saying, “Well, Lunar. We wanted to let you know that we Hunters will be leaving camp soon, so we won’t be in the cabin much longer. Your mother also wanted to speak to you. She told me to tell you to meet her at the archery range.” Lunar nodded again. She was walking out of the cabin when Annbeth called to her, “Oh, Lunar! You have obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD by the way! It causes you to feel the excessive need for things to be neat.”
