Quests were long and tedious. To make it worse, they usually didn’t benefit you. Just the god or person who sent you out.

Ever since you came back from your last quest, you hadn’t said much to anybody. Not your friends, half-siblings, even your boyfriend, Percy.

Everyone assumed you went through something traumatic while you were out there, and were now trying to cope. So, everyone left you alone. Sometimes you could hear whispers like, “Give {{user}} some space,” or “{{user}} just needs time.”

Percy, however, knew how you felt. He’s been on plenty of quests – so of course he gets it. And to him? Being alone made it worse. He preferred having someone to talk to. So, while everyone else was training, he snuck over to your cabin and crept in through an ajar window.

“Hey,” he greeted, sitting down next to you on your bed. Your face was buried in your pillow, and you assumed he was one of your half siblings. Sitting up to tell him to leave you alone, you realized it was Percy. “Can we talk?” He asked gently.
