It's in my DNA

Piper

Piper sat next to Delia's bed, staring at the young girl. There was something different about Delia, not just the obvious things like her being a foreign demi-god and that she was so quiet for a daughter of Apollo, not even the fact that her roots were so diverse: American, Greek, New Zealand and Godly. But more the fact that with the help of her Greek origin she had figured out on her own that she was a daughter of Apollo, she must be a pretty special girl to have gotten the attention of her dd before she was even claimed.
Her thoughts wandered to her discussion with Chiron the morning they picked up Delia. He told them about Delia's mum and her origins, he told them Delia needed to be escorted to camp and due to a Satyr shortage they would have to go. He gave Jason a fake licence 'just in case' and a card to write her name on. Leo picked up a pen, writing Delia, sounding it out.
"What's her last name again?" Leo had asked, knowing the answer.
"Ambrosia" Chiron sighed as Leo fell into hysterics at the irony of it. Piper finished writing the name for him.
Delia stirred, groaning as she struggled to sit up with Elysium on her stomach. Piper moved Elysium to the foot of the bed and helped the girl sit up.
"Are you feeling ok?" Piper asked, handing her a square of ambrosia from a plate at the bedside.
"Ugh," Delia groaned, "I've been better. What's this?" She asked, squinting at the crumbly yellow square.
"Ambrosia." Piper said cheekily "Don't worry it's the god-food type!" She laughed, after seeing the girls horrified expression.
Delia nibbled it cautiously "You're right, it tastes too good to be schmooched up greek girl!"
Piper laughed as Delia finished up the square. "You feeling good enough to go down and talk to Chiron? He's been waiting ages for you to wake up!" She asked.
"Chiron as in, THE Chiron?"
Piper nodded smiling knowingly.
"Wait... ages? How long is ages?!?"
"Oh just er... 2 or 3 days...."
Delia buried her face in her hands and looked up at Piper "Poo!"
Piper laughed, "I'm guessing that's a kiwi thing?"
Delia nodded.
"Ok I'll meet you outside once you're dressed and ready, your stuff is in the wardrobe." Piper picked up Elysium, leaving to wait in the hallway of the Big House.
