Eh, I think you would've been fine. [But he throws a grin his brother's way.] I don't think you would've made it easy, though. You're more stubborn than me and Jason put together when you want to be, and you don't like discipline, and with as much as we've got of it over here we had a lot more of it over there. But this place - it's been here forever, but it doesn't really feel permanent, does it? I guess it's 'cause most of the kids don't stay here longer than the summer, but everything's built for that. There's nothing really here that's not "summer camp" stuff. [He'd been to one, once, for a week, with his at-the-time foster brother. It'd been all right, until the crazy bird attacked.]

Camp Jupiter was permanent. We could break it down and move it, but the legion had its own place, and there was the whole city of New Rome, with shops and schools and everything. It made it feel a lot less small. You could live your whole life there, and here... you kind of can't.
