Even if we can't get it up all of the way, just covering ourselves up with it would probably work, yeah.

[Yelena hefts her pack over her shoulder a bit better.]

So what do you usually do when you make these jaunts with the others? On your quests and such?

[sophos]

There's usually some kind of end goal or location in mind, even a break location. So far there's vast expanses of nothing. We should probably keep going until we find - well, anything. Any kind of landmark.

[tasteforpoison]

[With a nod, Yelena continues scanning the area.]

The lack of cover is a bit unnerving, but at least this way it'll be harder for someone to sneak up on us.

[sophos]

Unless they can go invisible. [It's half teasing, half actual concern.]

But even invisibility leaves a mark if you're not careful enough.

[tasteforpoison]

[HEY DON'T JOKE ABOUT THAT Yelena is just going to start looking around for footprints that appear for no reason.]

What kind of mark?

[Which is as close as she'll get to asking about Annabeth herself while in a public area.]

[sophos]

Footprints, though they're easy to cover up and easier to pass off as having been there a while.

But breathing can give it away - too loud, too heavy. And it if someone's particularly intuitive and in tune to their surroundings, a sense of presence. In my case, I need to watch out for my shadow, too.

[tasteforpoison]

[It all makes sense to Yelena, up until the last part. She blinks and looks down at Annabeth's shadow automatically.]

So, when you go invisible you still cast a shadow?

[sophos]

The biggest inconvenience of it, to be honest. It's easy to pass off in a big city, but a lot more noticeable in the middle of nowhere.

It was a gift from my mother, so I'm not really sure the exact reason my shadow's still there, but I imagine it's because my body is still there - just shielded from view by godly magic. Or something like that, at any rate.
