Oh well, if I get more siblings, or cousins, out of them not being able to control themselves, I won't cry. Family is a wonderful thing, even if my father can't be bothered to care. I've got an amazing Mom and wouldn't trade her for his approval for even a minute,"</strong>she declared with a smile on her lips as she thought of her Mother. She really should send her another care package soon.<br/><br/>Thinking on what Mari said about children earning their parents notice, Tempest couldn't help but to snort in derision! She agreed utterly that no child should have<em>earn</em>their parent's love and attention. It was a parent's duty to give it. Perhaps if their godly parents spent more time paying attention to their children, they'd have a life expectancy of greater than 30 years old. Of course they didn't really help here at camp either.<br/><br/><strong>"You know, we might be a part of that problem too. We make people wait to be claimed before we let them move into the appropriate cabins. Perhaps if their gifts are blatant enough to make their parents obvious, we should place them accordingly. I was in Hermes cabin until a few weeks ago myself when it was obvious who my father was. Why should we all be stuck when we know where we belong? Maybe if the Camp placed children accordingly it would make our parents take a bit more notice. If they won't willingly keep to their bargain with Percy, perhaps they could be shamed into it...for a short while anyway,"</strong>she added with a small sigh that made it clear she didn't really think such a tactic would work for long.<br/><br/>Listening to Mari mention people being unnerved by her own abilities, Tempy, couldn't help but to chuckle softly,<strong>"They're worried you see, or intuit, something they want to keep secret. As if most of what kids keep secret here is <em>so</em> dire! No one would really care who they are sneaking off to make-out with in the woods, or which party in the Dionysus cabin got a bit too rowdy! That's just people making drama and taking their concerns about their own bad behaviour out on you. Silly fools,"</strong>she added, muttering the last under her breath and shaking her head.
