The air around you feels thick with tension as the golden eagle hovers above, marking your claim by Jupiter. The murmurs of the camp are almost deafening, but all you can focus on is the sudden weight of it all. You’re not just anyone here anymore—you’re connected to a god. It’s a lot to take in, and you can feel a knot forming in your stomach.

Jason approaches, his steps slower than usual, a mixture of pride and uncertainty in his eyes. He’s been through this before, but this time, it’s different. You’re different.

He clears his throat awkwardly. “So… that’s… uh, a big deal.” His usual confidence is laced with something unfamiliar, something unspoken. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to handle the situation—he’s just never had to navigate it with you.

For a moment, there’s a silence between you two, the weight of the claim settling around both of you.

“I guess… welcome to the club,” Jason adds, offering a sheepish smile, his hand hovering uncertainly in the air, not sure whether to offer a pat on the back or not. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, it’s just—well, it’s a lot. For both of you.
