"As long as you don't mind that I can and will fight back sometimes because I'm stubborn, I won't mind. I've spent most of my life being controlled, I'm actually kinda perfect at it," Araseli beams brightly, teasing slightly. "I swear I might be a masochist or something!" She then turns serious and says, "Lyndon, I may be young but I take emotions seriously. I know there's always a reason behind them and I don't hold it against people. If I'm in something, I'm in it for the long haul. The only thing I ever gave up was killing people for the titans; I won't give up on you so long as you don't get aggravated and give up on me because I can be naive and stupid and stubborn at times."

Lyndon reached out and stroked her cheek gently, trying to fathom how someone so amazing like her could be interested in him. "I promise no matter how aggravating you are I'll never give up on you because once you're mine you're mine for life no changing your mind, so I need you to take some time alone to think about this okay? I know you'll say you're ready right now to commit to me, but I need you to go away and think it over okay? Because I don't want you to regret it later on, because no matter what I won't let you go."

Araseli can not help the blush that rises up into her cheeks at his adamant words. What will it feel like to be someone's, forever? "I don't really believe that I will change my mind, Lyndon," she tells him honestly, but she can understand his reasoning for wanting her to think it over since she is only ten...fifteen. Whatever, either way I'm young, she mentally rolls her eyes at herself. "But once we get me back to camp, I will truly think about it so that when I tell you I'm yours you don't worry that it's just a spur of the moment decision," Araseli tells him with a smile.

"Thank you." He tells her with a smile, taking told of her hand and linking their fingers together before heading towards the other ward, the one that housed adolescents who got injured in fights, and altercations with others animals. He lead her to a room with a Cerberus lay on a large dog bed, all three of his head's hand bandages on them. He slowly walked forward with Araseli making sure to keep his body between her and the Cerberus at all times. He would not let anything happen to her, he would not be able to live with himself if he did.

Araseli feels a warmth filling her when he takes her hand, happily curling her fingers around his in response. She walks close to him as they make their way to another ward, and she gazes around curiously. Upon laying eyes on the Cerberus, Araseli lets out a soft gasp, peeking from around Lyndon once he steps in front of her. "What happened?" she practically cries out in concern for the three headed dog before her though she tries to keep her voice soft and calm so as to not startle the injured beast. She's heard enough stories from tribe warriors about how these creatures can react to being startled. She would hate to cause it to panic and lash out, especially since the cerberus would get Lyndon in the process.

"I don't know, I was doing my regular check around the island making sure that no babies were abandoned and found him, I gather that it either go into a fight with another Cerberus or a pack of one of the other types of animals. I brought him here and the others fixed him up, they say that the progress he's making is good and he should make a fast recovery." He tells her leading her forward slowly making sure that the Cerberus was aware of all of his movements so as to not scare him. He hummed softly under his breath too keep him calm and passive.

He reached out and stroked one of the heads before doing the same to the other 2 luckily the Cerberus had a calm and quite disposition. "You can name him if you like, I don't think I'll be able to let him back out onto the island he acts too much like a puppy dog then a Cerberus for me too feel comfortable enough to let him back out without him being killed within a few minutes of letting him go back." He says with a regretful look, snickering quietly as the Cerberus started to wag it's tail and managed to knock over his food and water dishes in the process.

Araseli listens raptly to Lyndon as he tells her how he found the cerberus. She then giggles in amusement at the giant dog like creature, moving slowly so as to not startle the beast as she fixes his bowls, holding her young sphinx in her other arm. She holds a hand forward to the cerberus's nearest head as she stays kneeling down, giving him an encouraging and trusting smile and waits to see how he may react to her. "You poor thing," she says softly, "Did you find trouble, or trouble find you?" As the cerberus sniffed her hand then shoved it under her fingers to be pet, she giggles again, "You are too sweet. I think I'll name you... Sirius. What do you think about that?" Araseli addresses her ending question at both the cerberus and Lyndon.

"It's nice." He tells her with a grin, the cerberus who had been renamed Sirius moved one of his other heads and licked Araseli's cheek leaving a trail of slobber on her cheek as he pulled back. Sirius moved over and butted against Araseli gently seeking more pats, he acted like a big puppy that he essentially was. Unlike other Cerberus' he had a sweet disposition which was rare, most were territorial and disliked interacting with other species, he would have to find a home for Sirius, he wondered if any of the giants were looking for puppies for there children because Sirius would make a perfect pet for a child.

Araseli giggles some more as the cerberus practically forgets Lyndon to get attention from her. Nalani wakes up and squirms in her arm until she is free and climbs over Araseli's shoulder to poke her head around her side and stare curiously, warily, at the giant three headed dog. Comfortable once seeing her human playing with the bigger creature, Nalani pads out closer to the cerberus, startled when one took a break from adoring Araseli and licked her, too. Araseli laughs at the sphinx's fur standing upright with drool, "I think they like each other." She lifts her eyes to Lyndon, her joy and happiness from this place, with him, evident in their depths. "How long til Sirius is fully recovered, do you think? I'm sure he can't wait to really get to roam around and play. Will it be hard to find him a home?"

Lyndon smiled as he watched them interact, glad that they were getting along. "A month, maybe less if everything goes okay." He tells her with a grin happy that she liked to be here with him. "It will probably be hard to find him a home but I'll look because I don't want him to have to stay here and if I can't find him a home I'll think about building a separate part of the island that non dangerous animals can go if I can't find them another home, with the rising amount of creatures that need homes I'm running out of people and places to give them too, so I think making an enclosure is the way to go."

"What about speaking to someone about making a home for animals like Sirius at the camp? They could be defenders of the camp, and there are young ones there that would love a giant dog," Araseli comments to him thoughtfully. "And it might decrease some of the hateful stigma people have towards creatures like them." She shrugs, acknowledging it as just a thought to consider as a last resort plan if need be. Araseli lays a light kiss on each of Sirius's heads as she and Nalani play with him as much as he could, being injured and all, "I'm sure you could find real homes, though."

"That's actually not a bad idea." He tells her after some thought, it would help with the demi-gods being afraid of all of his creatures and killing even the harmless ones on site. "I do find most homes but I have about 30 or more living in my house in a special area for them because I couldn't release them nor could I find homes and I can't keep many more in my home before it's over run so I think that the idea for a home at camp is sounding good, and that way if a demigod wanted to keep a particular animal they could." He said after another long stretch of silence as he thought over the idea, with more thinking the idea was implanted firmly in his mind and he would talk to Zeus to see if they could make it a reality. "I will bring up the idea with your father the next time that I see him, it can't hurt to ask."
