Melody shrugged. "He gives 'em to people around camp. Even Nicole and Georgia have flower stuff, they just don't talk about it cause they're mean."
Janet nodded, starting to tie pipe cleaners together. She formed a sphere about the size of her fist with the pipe cleaners, then tied a string to one end and swung it around, squeaking out a soft "sorry!" when it hit Melody.

"Are you sure they're mean? Maybe they just have a hard time expressing their real emotions?" Ray suggests, trying to put a good light on the two Melody had called mean. He then complimented Janet's work.

Melody thought for a moment. Micah had heard Ray's comment as he came back with an armful of flowers, and he decided to speak up as he retook his seat beside Ray.
"Well, Georgia has been through a lot. Her boyfriend is missing, her best friend died in the Titan War.... Not many people trust her because she was with Kronos until the battle. Of course she switched to the right side in the middle of the battle... I'm not sure about Nicole, though. She came after the Titan War and no one really knows about her, but Georgia used to be a lot nicer."

Ray glances up at Micah, "Again, a minute seem like an eternity without you." He says, taking the new information he had gained from Micah and stores it in his memory. It might be useful to remember that later. Also, he saved the information about flower crowns and all that.

Micah smiled, blushing, and looked away. Janet giggled and Melody looked between them, tilting her head.
"Are you gonna make Ray a flower bracelet?" She asked, continuing to draw.
Micah nodded, not looking up as he started preparing some flowers for the bracelet.

Ray blushes as well, not sure why, but he did. He resisted the urge to purr because there was no need to purr. None whatsoever. He watches Micah's technique, finding subtle ways in which his way of doing flower bracelets was different than his own.

Melody suddenly put down her crayon and held up the paper proudly for the people at the table to see, beaming. "I drew me and Janet," she said happily. Janet giggled and hugged her best friend (other than Austyn and Silvia, of course). Micah laughed as he braided the flowers together. "That's very nice, " he said softly.

"That's super good. Teach me your ways, young master of drawing. I need to know. I am very terrible at drawing." Ray says.

Melody sheepishly mumbled, "I'm not that good."

"Better than me." Ray says, showing her his terrible piece of art from earlier.
