Elise had been up late tinkering, which quite frankly was normal for the daughter of Hephaestus, in fact it was rare that she didn't stay up late working on something. While she was tired, she was still a cabin leader, and that meant she was responsible for getting her cabin prepared for inspection before breakfast began at the dining pavilion. Hephaestus kids aren't exactly known for being neat, so it was always necessary to get up early to get the rest of her siblings in gear to get it cleaned up. Once everything was in line with the cabin, the teen decided she had earned her breakfast and gave a reminder to her siblings that they were expected to be at breakfast as well.

Quill put on her usual outfit of a camp shirt, jeans (she'd never wear shorts, no matter how hot it got), her Docs, chakram bracelets and a military green jacket she's had since she arrived at camp years ago and made her way over to the dining pavilion. The sun had been up for a few hours and already it was a decently warm temperature that threatened to get hotter, though that may have just been the camp's weather. Nevertheless, the demigod was used to hot temperatures considering the pyrokinesis her father had gifted her with, a fact her mother wasn't fond of when she was growing up. It wasn't exactly commonplace for your baby to set itself ablaze with no clear warning. Luckily with her mother being a legacy of Trivia Elise had fireproof clothes, courtesy of her mother's magic.

The redhead sat down at the currently empty Hephaestus table with a sigh, knowing her siblings would most likely take their sweet time getting to the dining pavilion as they usually did. The teen thanked the wood nymphs as they brought over her preferred breakfast of hot cakes, bacon and toast then asked her goblet for chocolate milk, her favorite breakfast drink, she wasn't really a coffee person, the ADHD was enough energy for her. As the demigod ate her breakfast, more of her cabin gradually began filling in the empty spaces around her. For whatever reason Hephaestus cabin always seemed to have a plethora of demigods, and Elise refused to think about how often her dad slept with mortals to have that many children.

Rather than focus her attention on the conversations being had by her siblings, Elise noticed who she thought recognized as the cabin leader for the Muse kids (thinking back to council meetings she was fairly positive his name was Taylor) writing in a small black notebook. Curious, the redhead stood up from the Hephaestus table, bringing the bacon and bit of pancakes she had set aside for her offering to the brazier, saying a silent prayer to her father before coming back around to the table that the children of the Muses sat at. The teen decided the best way to approach the other demigod was to scare him, especially considering he looked like he was ready to fall back asleep judging by the nearly dead, zombified look he had on his face.

Elise crept up behind Taylor slowly, a wicked grin on her face as she got as close to his ear as she could without alerting him of her presence. "What'cha doin'?" she commented, raising her voice so he'd hear her outside of the world of the notebook that at first glance looked to be written in Ancient Greek, considering it soon auto-translated for the girl, though she couldn't quite make out the words at this distance.
