[saturations]

[they have to think for a good, long time.]

...I can't remember something similar to that happening. There's scuffles, monsters and weird prism things. But not like that.

I suspect things just have to settle, but it worries me, too.

[decisions]

[ percy is patient, brow just a bit furrowed ]

We'll do the best that we can to help you all. You've helped us a great deal already in settling after all.

[ he thumbs at his cup quietly. the space around them feels lulling, and for a moment, he can picture the tree again, leaves sprouting, roots rich and fat with life. he presses his lips together a moment. ]

Truth is, this is far better than where I was certain I was going.

[saturations]

Working together, that's going to be the key.

[they listen, though. the tea, by the way, is served in unassuming floral printed cups, but it has a lovely and unique floral scent, with something herbal in the taste.]

Is that right? Where did you think you were going?

[decisions]

[ ah tea. it's kind of refreshing just to let the steam fog his glasses a moment. that's better. ]

Wherever the dead go, or worse, maybe.

[saturations]

[hmm. they listen, letting him talk.]

Things don't always turn out the way you expect them to. But it sounds like you're struggling with the idea. Do you think you belong someplace worse?

[decisions]

Perhaps.

[ he looks at them a moment, looking over details in the stonework quietly. a breath. ]

I've left behind a terrible legacy. A stain. [ a tight laugh. then, defiantly: ] I know that I must make what I do here worth something more than that.

[saturations]

[they listen without much judgment, just listening.]

I'll take your word for it that it was terrible. [they aren't going to argue about that.] What do you think is going to happen, if you do something good?
