[ he's so reassured in it, in a faith in her, and it reminds her a little of percy's unshakable similar beliefs. annabeth has always been someone who simply wanted people to care about her. it always felt harder than it should have been. ]

[ it doesn't feel so hard anymore. her hubris is a constant battle, and she's not sure that will ever change given the nature of a demigod's fatal flaw, but cassian might be right about her having people here to help her. she proved she can handle herself following the mark of athena, but it doesn't mean she's alone all the time. not anymore. ]

[ she leans over and scoops the toy up for bob cat, dropping it closer so he can play with it in her lap. ]

Maybe you have a point. [ she'll tease a little though. ]

[ Cassian hopes that when he says that there will be those that will be there to snap her out of it, she understands that he counts himself among those numbers. And when she teases him back, he thinks that she does.

A quiet warmth settles around him as he watches Bob Cat play contentedly in Annabeth's lap. ]

Tomorrow then? To get supplies. We can go after your class.

[ Just because they've both skipped classes before doesn't mean that he's about to continue encouraging it. It's about balance. ]

[ something in her expression lightens unexpectedly. tomorrow, after her classes. it's a small bit of consideration that brings a quieter smile to her face. tomorrow, after class, to get supplies so she can build bob cat a tree. cassian wants her along, and he factored in her own potential schedule. ]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll work on some ideas today then too.

[ she is definitely gonna spend some time tonight sketching up a storm. ]
