[hardpity]

Y-yeah... we're hosting a sleepover where we tell stories we like... a-are you doing okay?

[audacity]

[ eyebrow lift ]

Yeah? A sleepover sounds fun.

[hardpity]

Just, I mean... you're bruised and stuff...

[audacity]

Oh, yeah, Kevin and I were sparring earlier. [ kind of proud actually, ] He got me pretty good.

[ HOLDING UP A HAND FOR A HIGH FIVE TO KEVIN wherever he is probably around ]

[hardpity]

Jock to jock communication... I see...

[audacity]

Uh, yeah, something like that. You said we're telling stories?

[hardpity]

Yeah, um... the criteria for storytelling is pretty loose so I figured it could be, like, u-um. Like your favorite fictional story o-or a personal anecdote that makes you happy or something.

[audacity]

Yeah, I can come up with something. Especially since it's to help you guys.

[hardpity]

[ hehehe the evil plan is working as expected ]

We're getting some cool furniture out of it.

[audacity]

[ diaboliCAl ]

Yeah? What makes it cool?

[hardpity]

It's a 'kotatsu'. Have you heard of them? They're a table that has a blanket and then a heater underneath... it's pretty much spring now but it's really comfy on cold or rainy days.

[audacity]

I haven't, but now I want one.

[hardpity]

If we're here long enough for another snow it'll be great... you guys could come over again and hang out...

[audacity]

We'll come over and hang out anyway, you know. You don't have to wait for winter.

[hardpity]

W-well, it's just that the kotatsu won't be as useful if it's warm out... i-is all...

[ he's not paying any attention, but demigod instincts result in a high five ]

[audacity]

[ yesss ]

[abandon_hope]

[


afterwards he blinks, and sort of turns towards Percy. ]

Are you proud of me?

[audacity]

[ oh ]

Yeah? You were awesome.

[abandon_hope]

Well - I mean - I was pretty mean about it too.

[audacity]

No kidding. But I could've been nicer, too.

[abandon_hope]

[ snort. okay, fine. a smile. ]

You were pretty awesome yourself. And you did keep me from drowning.

[audacity]

[ okay that's a compliment, but wince ]

Yeah, that's the least I could do after throwing you in the lake to start with.

[abandon_hope]

[ fair. Kevin doesn't seem mad, at least. ]

I think half of it was the mud, too. Too in between our domains.

[ and meris trying to convince her GROWING BOY to EAT HIS MUSHROOMS ]

[audacity]

[ if they stay on this topic too long he's going to shriek like a teakettle, so. let's not! ]

Point is. You've come a long way in a fight since the first time I met you. Once you get your sword back, we should spar more often.
