[ it takes a little while for her to answer, and she's not breathing into the locket or anything weird, but she's obviously there. there's just some radio silence for a bit. ]
I had a feeling.
[ but hearing it from Percy makes it worse. way worse. Percy wasn't here that first time around, so it stung, but for her own selfish reasons. this is different, this is having nearly everyone together again for the first time in a long time and now they're not and ]
There should be some kind of- Seelie law against this. They know how much it hurts us, but they send people home out of the blue anyway. It doesn't make sense.
[ he huffs out a laugh without any real humour to it; more bitter than anything. because yeah, there really should be. ]
It's like they can't decide if they want her here or not. I know she was around before I got here, disappeared after. Now again. I don't get why we get to stay, but she doesn't.
[ and he's torn, because he doesn't necessarily want her stuck in another war, but the selfish part of him would rather have her fighting at his side, just like normal. he feels less homesick with her. ]
Me? Yeah. I mean- Yeah. [ the corner of her mouth moves into a half smile, and she shrugs with a shoulder ] I have to watch you guys come and go from Camp Half-Blood all the time. I guess it's kind of like that. Only I know as long as we're still here, she's safe back home.
Yeah. Guess you have a point there, huh. [ because it's true -- even if she was sent back, at least he knows that she went back to where she was safe aboard the Argo II, where she was with all their friends. and maybe, selfishly, he'd rather have her there- he also knows she's just as safe back in their world as she is in this one.
there's a bit of a laugh, lacks the usual amusement; an awkward sound for Percy. ]
