First message Leo knew some demigods had it worse than others before coming to camp. Leo learned to spot the signs when meeting new campers especially young campers. Leo had a lot of practice when dealing with troubled kids speaking from experience and also the fact he had welcomed some into the Hephaestus cabin over his time at camp.

Leo was tinkering with a broken pocket watch trying to fix it, granted it wasn’t very hard for the son of Hephaestus. Leo was out side his cabin when he saw a group of new demigods coming down the hill from the big pine tree. Something was strange from this group there was no Satyrs leading the group instead it was a demigod about his age.

Leo was confused since demigods are normally young when they are claimed after the war with Kronos. The oldest stood in front of the younger demigods clearly being the one to protect them on their journey here. Leo looked at the group closely now stopping his tinkering. The oldest was skinny, dirty clothes and their eyes kept shifting around the camp looking for any danger.

Leo walks over with a grin hoping to lighten the mood for the group especially the oldest “hello I’m Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus and bad boy supreme welcome to camp half blood.” Leo holds out his hand to the oldest demigod.I must say for running away from monsters you look hot.” Leo winked at the demigod hoping to get a reaction from them. Leo frowned slightly when he just got a soulless look but he quickly smiled again

“Well if you ever need something repaired or whatever I’m your man, hey how about I give you and the munchies a tour of your new home!” Leo spread his arms out gesturing around camp “I can tell you all about the games and such until we get you all situated.”
