The countryside is layered with snow that is up to four meters deep, all fallen within the past two months as a cold season falls upon the country. There are numerous roads in between towns and small, domed minesteads and each road is oddly clear of snow and ice. Closer inspection reveals that the surfaces are heated by some technology buried beneath the black surfaces. Occasional construction crews can be seen tearing up or laying down new surfacing over a web of thick, coated wires that presumably provide the heat. Snow is often found sculpted near crossroads, taking artistic shape in anything from beautifully arched sculptures to recreations of local fauna.

Wildlife can be spotted here and there, with a large herd of antlered beasts making their way across the snowy grounds. Webbing between their toes (yes, toes) allows each of the large, white animals to traverse upon the snow-tops with barely a print left in their wake. Hunting parties can be seen chasing after the fringes of this herd while wearing some sort of hovering harness and it is evident that the beasts are a primary source of meat for the people. Birds flit back and forth, a few predatory mammals can be spied at the edges of the icebound forests, and there are a variety of serpentine pets kept by residents fortunate to live in the warmer domed towns.

Speaking of towns, the three within the barrier's reach are spaced roughly twenty kilometres away from one another, forming a triangle of commerce that sustains each. Aihsohlow represents the southernmost town, Phorezton the northernmost, and Markutte the northeastern one. There are a variety of small minesteads in between that would greet travellers, but only reluctantly allow them into their homes. Stories abound of troubles outside the domes and they are not apt to invite said troubles inside.

[Calypso bit down on her lip, her expression withering and sympathetic towards him-- One of her heroes. She hated him being so upset with her, she didn't want any of this.]

People make mistakes, Percy... Even immortals.

[.... Especially immortals, really.]

I am sorry for what happened. For what I did.

Especially immortals. [It's a dark mutter, but it's not directed at her. More at the gods.

It takes him a moment to absorb that. Because he understands that she's sorry, he really does. It's just - hard, shaking the memory of Annabeth so desperately lost.

But as easy as it is for him to get mad, he's bad at staying angry at people who don't really deserve it. And for all that Calypso did a really awful thing, he can appreciate that she didn't mean to, and that she feels bad]
Okay. I - okay. [Not 'it's okay, because it's not. But it is acceptance, understanding. That's all he can really offer right now.

He shuffles a little, looking down at his feet]
I really thought they'd keep their promise, you know. I know it doesn't really make it better, that I didn't double check. But I wouldn't have just left you there.

[This isn't exactly the place Calypso would be eager to catch up at, to come to terms with everything that had happened. She'd have preferred somewhere quiet and indoors. She watched him shuffle, look at his feet, look anywhere but at her.

She missed him looking at her... And not with the anger and hurt she'd caused. But how he used to look at her.]


I know that now. But it is hard to know these things in the moment that they happen.

[Something in the set of his shoulders relaxes. Mad as he'd been, he didn't want Calypso thinking that he'd just abandoned her totally, even if he'd still...half-abandoned her. He lifts his head finally, offering her a smile that's small and half-sad. But still a peace offering] I guess we both kind of screwed up, huh?
