Not-So-Triumphant Return (Action)

[againstallodds]

[Most people (newbies excepted) would probably recognize the teenager that walks straight out of the ocean on the afternoon of the 19th, just as casually as if he were walking down the street in Anytown USA. If the fact that he's choosing to swim fully-clothed in October in New York doesn't give away who he is, the fact that he isn't soaking wet probably does.]

[He needs to meet with Chiron, but the first place Percy goes is actually the Poseidon cabin, closer to the ocean and his home-away-from-home, so he can drop off the small pack he's carrying - but less than ten seconds after he walks through the door, he tears back out it again and back down to the ocean.]

When were you gonna tell me I had a sister?!

[Yup, he's totally screaming at the ocean. This would have been nice to know, okay Dad?]

[ And that is the sound of Leo laughing his butt off. ]

[againstallodds]

[Laugh it up, Valdez. You know he's gonna be after you and Nat soon enough.]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Oh, he will. And Percy is not hearing anything about the two of them for a good long while, if Leo has anything to say about it. ]

[againstallodds]

[This is camp, Leo. Nothing stays secret for long here.]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Hey, they're doing pretty good so far! The only person besides Dany (and maybe Nat's siblings?) who knows is Heather, and she's an Aphrodite kid - Venus, whatever. ]

[againstallodds]

[Don't worry, it'll spread. It always does.]

Laugh it up, flame boy.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ And he'll be hiding out in Bunker 9 when it does. ]

Well, now that I have your permission.

[againstallodds]

You were doing it even without my permission, it's not like you need it at all.

[Percy's a little too used to being laughed at. To be fair he knows he brings it on himself a lot of the time, but hey, ADHD, what are you gonna do.]

I just wasn't expecting it, okay?
