( it will only be this man. heather makes certain of it, not to go back on her word but because she knows that mortals are curious, that they see destruction and often move towards it rather than moving away from it.
he's cloaked from view as the building falls, heather extending it around the area to stop others from seeing the destruction until it's over, the barrier falling for the destruction to be witnessed -- and the man.
but the destruction nudges at her, the fact that he'd dared to offend a god, a god she cared for, and it leads heather to push at him. memories spike in his mind, heather digging for the emotion attached to this building, that feeling of home, the love he'd had for the place and the people that had once housed with him in it. and she pulls at them, the pain of those that he's lost until that sense of home is ripped from him, only pain left in him as he falls to his knees.
she rests a hand on annabeth's shoulder, a smile for her as she turns from the scene before them )
He'll be no one's bother. Your point will sit with him.
