IC: Marth stepped out of the conversation while Holly spoke to the new kid, he'd eventually get his turn to talk to him, he seemed really cool and he was really happy to meet one of the guys coming on the trip. Marth was starting to feel an inner instinct spark when he spoke to Holly, she reminded him of a cat one of his foster families had, it had been uptight and it would approach seemingly with good intentions and then swat you without warning. But he reasoned that he might be overreacting, yet he made a mental note to tread softly around Holly. However, he was curious about Cassie and she seemed so quiet, he felt rude cutting her out of the conversation. Alas, he shuffled over and tried to start conversation, she was Athena's child so he decided to try talking about books.
"So, Cassie, have you read any books as of late? I know its a bit of an awkward question, but its all I have." He said with a lame smile.
