By the Lake: Liam, Cheyenne, and later Cressida
OK, so apparently she couldn't take back what she was dishing out to others. Liam would never admit that her hitting him actually hurt. The slap onto the already skin, raw and starting to ache from the cold of the water hurt more than it would have normally. He winced and then watched as she hurried away.
His eyes looked in either direction, waiting for someone to say something about how it was just a joke but nobody did. Shrugging his shoulders, he moved on to start toward his last dive.

Cressida didn't dive, but was working on making sure the Ladon mentors received their necessary support. But it appeared that Dana and Clara had things under control, so she was now acting as more of an overseer to keep kids from getting out of hand. Something about diving into the cold water abyss brought mischief bubbling to the surface.
Someone latched onto her arm and Cressida started before she realized it was Cheyenne. She'd felt a strange feeling of . . . embarrassment? But she hadn't thought it had escalated so much. Now they were right next to each other, Cressida could feel the emotions of her familiar.
"What happened?" she asked, and immediately rose to her feet but escorted Cheyenne toward an area that wasn't in the direction of the school but in the general area that could provide some privacy.
