Percy's sudden disappearance from training was unusual. You always taught swordfighting classes with him in the morning to younger campers. He wouldn't miss it for the world, and he didn't at first. Percy showed up and taught the lesson with you, but after you told the campers to split into duos and practice, Percy was gone.

You got another older camper to watch the kids and walked off, trying to find Percy. He usually ran off when he was upset to deal with his emotions in private, but you could usually get him to open up.

You found him at the far side of the camp lake, his feet hanging over the dock into the water. He heard you coming and wiped his eyes quickly, turning to you with a halfhearted smile.

"You found me."
