Lessons
Gwen and I decided to ask Daniel if he wanted to be an official counselor at the camp. Currently he was still sleeping on the floor next to my bed. We didn't have another bed, and I didn't think he would be comfortable sleeping in the same bed. I crept past him in attempt to not wake him, and grabbed my clothes from the drawer. Walking into the bathroom, I closed the door and got ready for my day.
*timeskip*
Stepping out of the bathroom, I saw Daniel sitting up yawning and running his hands through his hair.
"Good morning Daniel." I said in a cheerful tone.
"Morning David." Daniel mumbled as he stretched.
Daniel got up from the bundle of blankets that were on the floor. Since he doesn't have pajamas here he usually just sleeps in some shorts with no shirt. His bandages needed to be changed, and the wounds need to be cleaned again. I stepped back in the bathroom and to the medicine cabinet. The first aid kit was on the top shelf where it always was. Walking to my bed, I pat the spot in front of me.
"Sit down Daniel," I said gently " I need to check your wounds. "
Daniel sat down so his back was facing me, and I started to unwrap the bandages. Soon all the cuts were visible and to be honest, they were healing nicely. I put some disinfectant on a cotton ball and started cleaning the cuts. Looking at his back, I grew concerned at the fact his ribs were poking out. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him eat anything since he's been here. That was a discussion for another time though.
"So today the campers are going to show how good they are at using the environment around them." I said as I got up to check his chest.
After cleaning and wrapping the cuts, I handed him a shirt. Putting on our boots we headed out to the tents and woke up the campers. Most of them protested a few times before getting up. Eventually all of them headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.
*nother timeskip because I'm lazy*
"Alright kids, who knows what you could use this sharp stick for?" I said holding up said stick.
"A sword!" Nikki said excitedly, eyes filled with enthusiasm.
"Um, I guess so," I said looking at the stick " very...imaginative Nikki. "
I heard Daniel stifle a laugh. He then took the stick from my hands and walked to the end of the docks. Kneeling down on his knees, he raised the stick over the water and waited. Just as I was about to ask what he was doing, Daniel quickly struck the water with the stick. Bringing it back up, there was a lone fish skewered at the end. Daniel brought it back to the group and held it up.
"Dinner." Was the only thing he said before passing out the sticks to each camper.
" Well, " I said "that's not what I had in mind, but good work Daniel."
He nodded showing his thanks as we approached the campers. All of them were doing well especially Nikki, but that isn't really a surprise. Although, Harrison seemed to be struggling a bit. Daniel went over and knelt beside him. Lowering his arm so the stick was closer to the water, Daniel explained how quickly it needs to be done. I knew he would make a great counselor.
Soon it was getting late, and we had enough fish for everyone at camp. Sitting at the counselor table, I noticed Daniel didn't even touch his yet. This was getting concerning, another day and he didn't eat anything. I will make sure I discuss this with him later.
