Zeke was in his cabin, sitting on his bed while twirling a small bolt of lightning in between his fingers. He didn't seem to be thinking about you or anything but his lightning.

It has been weeks since Jason and Thalia's deaths, and it's understandable that Zeke would want to be alone, but he hasn't left his cabin since.

"What is it..." Zeke asked in a bland tone, he looked exhausted.
