[Someone's pissed.

And also looks like he didn't sleep well last night]

Whoever in the Hermes cabin thought it'd be cute to steal my headrest? You've ten minutes to return it before I unleash all the power of Bast on this cabin. I didn't get any rest at all last night because of this little prank and I'm not inclined to be forgiving right now.

[just this expression somewhere between skeptical and incredulous.]

You're joking.

[as the resident hypnos kid, he's kind of uniquely qualified to recognize that as some grade A bullshit. you're either kidding, or straight-up crazy.]

When you sleep with one for roughly your entire life, you learn to find it comfortable.

You do realize that you're essentially saying you sleep on a rock. Whatever magical properties it might have, unless those include making it feel like something other than marble, it's still a rock.

You do realize that I've literally never slept on a pillow in my life? It's comfortable for me.

You should try it sometime. You'd be amazed at how comfortable it is, sleeping like a normal person.

What part of "keeps my soul from flying off" did you miss?

Aren't magicians meant to be some powerful, ancient order around since Egypt was still in power? You're really telling me that in all those centuries, no one's managed to make a non-stone headrest that does the same thing?

The concept of "rules" is foreign to you, isn't it? We don't create new ones because we don't want to. We do it because we can't.

Forgive me if I find your rules a bit excessively restrictive, when they apparently extend even to how you sleep.

IM

[willyouwalk]

That's how magic works.

I'm incredibly glad I'm not a magician, then.
