[ she squeezes his hand, her face falling a little bit. annabeth knows all too well how much sally misses her son - they spent many a day and night keeping each other company in the empty spaces percy should have been. there's no doubt in her mind that percy misses his mother just as much in return, and now they're even more than an ocean away. they're worlds away. it isn't about wanting her here so much as just wanting his mom again. ]
[ she also knows how much longer those months felt than they were, and how the escalation of the last few weeks at home have only made everything feel like so much more. ]
Yeah. I get it. [ she gets the undercurrent. ] There's a lot of stuff here she'd be fascinated by. Though her baking is already pretty top chef worthy.
happy birthday 2 annabeth
