Re: M PLEASEEEE
What am I supposed to tell Annabeth?
Re: M PLEASEEEE
That I love her? [ rueful. soft. ] And that I'm sorry.
She'll get it, when you tell her what we were up against in there. She'll want to wring my neck, but she'll get it.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
She’s not gonna accept that, you know. She’s gonna come find you.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
If anyone can, she will. And then she'll kill me for leaving her when I promised not to. And then she'll kill me again for not coming home. And then maybe she'll be glad to see me.
Or she'll kill me again for making stupid pacts with creepy goddesses. Either/or.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
That sounds like Annabeth.
[ His faint smile fades. ]
Or she’ll lose her mind trying.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
I'll figure that one out when the time comes. We still have to survive this place.

Deep breath. ]
Are we telling the mortals?
Re: M PLEASEEEE
No. They'd freak out so much. They already are.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
It’s your call. I won’t breathe a word. Swear on the Styx if you want.
[ A beat. ]
But if there’s anything else going on with this, please tell me?
Re: M PLEASEEEE
[ cuts himself off, eyebrows drawing together. then, slower, ]
They want to help. I get that. And it's not like I don't want to tell them anything. I'm just...trying to make sense of this first? I don't want anyone else getting hurt over this. Especially not Lily, and that includes you. It's just a lot. And I know they want us to handle problems together, but...
[ trails off helplessly ]
...I'm trying. I swear I am.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
They’re strong, but they don’t understand what they’re up against. Not like we do. They’ll jump in before they even know what they’re risking.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
Yeah. If she hurt any of you, I'd...
[ A SHUDDER. might be trembling a little, but we don't need to talk about that. ]
They think you can just stop a god, or break an oath. Like it's nothing. I made her swear on the River Styx to do what I asked.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
They’d probably say to break it anyway, or try to take the consequences for themselves somehow.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
[ breathes out, then scrubs his face for a second. get it together!! ]
Promise on the River Styx not to tell them what I said about going home. The rest is — what she did to my power isn't a secret. Minuet knows. I'll tell the others if they haven't guessed. I think Lethe and Charon probably have, but mortals don't get why it...matters.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
[ Lethe, you’re great, but bb,
He straightens up at that and offers Cepheus his hand. ]
I swear on the river Styx that I won’t tell them anything about what you said about going home. Or not going home.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
Thank you.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
It’s demigod stuff. I’ve got your back, no matter how annoying you are.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
Wow, thanks. Good thing you're never annoying.
Re: M PLEASEEEE
[ He's smiling a little, though. ]
... Wanna sit on the roof and not sleep for the rest of the night?
