[ of all the things cassian might want to talk to them about - and they gossiped about it, naturally, each theory more absurd than the last, putting them in an already giddy mood (like maybe this time he'll come with a yahtzee rip off called nohtzuu) - annabeth can't say she's expecting him to turn up with a literal cat. ]
[ they're lounging on their bed after a post lunch nap, still chattering about the mysteries of cassian, with annabeth using his shoulder for a pillow instead of the actual pillows. she looks up when cassian comes in and lets out a little gasp when she sees the kitten, scrambling upright and disentangling in delight. she climbs over the percy shaped barrier between her and the small creature, accidentally kneeing him in the gut as she hops off the bed and wriggles her fingers to get the cat's attention. when it leans over and gives her finger a small lick, she knows she's in. ]
Let me see him! Her?
[ she reaches her hands out to scoop the kitten away from cassian without hesitation, notably not answering his question, but immediately cradling the squirming animal in her arms. she sits back down on the edge of the bed and smiles widely at it, letting it sniff her fingers again. ]
