Amelia sat on the beach, her blonde hair cascading down her shoulders. She pushed her aviators back up the bridge of her nose, her blonde eyes squinting in the sunlight even with her sunglasses on. Her book sat open in her lap, her eyes moving back and forth as she read the French words. How she had managed to become fluent in French while suffering from dyslexia was beyond her. It seemed almost laughable to her, that she was able to comprehend a language other than English, and become fluent in it. Perhaps her dyslexia made only English difficult. Regardless of the reason, she sat there, deeply engrossed in her French book.
Amelia occasionally adjusted the strap of her swimsuit, or shifted her weight slightly as she dug her toes in the sand. It was wonderful that outside weather had no affect on Camp. She could study on the beach, swim, or sunbathe year-round. And she was doing two of them at once. She was highly enjoying catching some rays while reading her foreign book.
Amelia hummed the tune to a classic French song softly under her breath as she remained focused only on her book. She would lift her head every once in awhile, just because she became distracted by the sounds the wind or the light reflecting off the sparkling water. It was hard to tune out the sounds of the outside world. It came with the territory of having ADHD, but being so presently engrossedin her book made it less of an issue than normal.

Matty was walking along the beach. She picked up sea shells as she walked along the tide. She gazed at the white shell in her hand, and noticed Amelia. She'd never meet her. But she knew her name; A neat power from being a legacy of Athena. (Sort of like Frank's power from Poseidon in SoN) Matty approached her with a bright smile.
"Hello. I'm Matty." She greeted.

"Bonjour! Désolé, je viens tout juste de lire ce livre. Il est vraiment très bon!" Amelia exclaimed, smiling brightly at the stranger. She pushed her blonde mane out of her eyes and folded down the corner of her page and shut her book, tossing it onto the sand next to her.
"Ce qui vous amène ici?" Amelia asked curiously, her mind not registering the fact that she was speaking in French. She usually needed to flick the on/off button because once she started speaking or reading a certain language, she started thinking in that language, and she rarely noticed it. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was still speaking French. I'm Amelia." She nodded her head, as if to confirm her statement, and smiled up at the girl expectantly, waiting for her to take her turn to introduce herself.

Matty laughed a little when she replied in French. "Non, je ne parle pas français!" She smiled and noticed the book she was reading was in French. "I'm new around here and sort of don't know a lot of people...sort of.." She didn't want to tell her about her Legacy of Athena power. Her family-if you followed it back all the way- used to live in Greece. Being a Legacy of two gods, and child of another made things complicated. "I'm a daughter of Tyche, Legacy of Athena." She didn't usually tell people about other legacy-the titan of memories. It was very weak, and didn't mean much.
