[Percy had been minding his own business in the water next to the turtle when the kedan started dropping in. Not that he'd been able to see them at the time, but he could feel them entering the water from his position floating some distance away.
ADHD sort of goes hand in hand with curiosity, and he soon forgets that he's supposed to be figuring out how to deal with his new found fear of drowning. Dragging a nearby current towards him, he uses it to propel himself faster through the water, taking care to approach from a less visible angle until he's right on top of the barrier.
Or...where the barrier used to be. Percy's spent a lot of time underwater since he got on the turtle, and the barrier's been a constant source of frustration to him. Apparently it's not a problem anymore, and he hesitates for a moment, wondering if he should find Annabeth and tell her.
But if he leaves, it might come back. In Percy's experience, barriers are usually there for a reason, and he wants to now what's behind this one. He swims on, making sure to stay at a distance from the kedan. it looks like they're carrying equipment of some kind, and Percy squints down. Maybe there's some sort of underwater building going on? But the turtle's moving all the time, that doesn't make any--]
Whoa. [While he's looking down, he forgets to look ahead as well. He sets the current he borrowed loose again, coming to a stop before he runs into Nita and Kara.] Uh, hi. Exploring? [He's spoken to them both before and is mostly sure they aren't about to attack him, but not one hundred percent. He backs off a little bit, keeping his distance for now.]
