[ she will focus all her attention onto bob cat, who is currently purr-fectly content in annabeth's arms and in fact loudly purring. the kitten is very warm and very cuddly and she will take advantage of that. ]
[ she can't quite bring herself to look up at cassian, so the cat is the next best thing. she's been thinking a lot about the end of the illusion, about how it took three separate people and ultimately percy's stubborn loyalty to break her out of it - and in the face of this conversation it lingers in conjecture with how connected she feels to cassian now, and the guilt she feels about how hard she clung to it despite how much everyone tried to break her out of it, because they cared about her. ]
[ why not apologize at random, to get away from the cacophony of parental and sibling feelings stirred by her telling cassian even minutely about her past?? maybe he can even understand now, why she reacted like she had. ]
For not believing you, about that stupid illusion. For throwing you in the water, when you were trying to help me. I'm sorry.
