Tell me about it. I think we could probably do with things being a little less interesting, but-- [He shrugs] I'm pretty sure there's nothing worse than the Earth herself trying to destroy everything, so once we take care of this mess, things should settle down. [His thoughts swing towards Tartarus, but he shakes his head] Come on, this way.

[He takes Asti west, to the cabins. He pauses briefly at Athena's before continuing on to his own. The windows face the ocean, and it's made out of a rough kind of sea stone. There's coral all over it, and a sea shell over the door. Percy hesitates, before pushing it open. A sea breeze blows through the opening.] This is home.

[He draws in a breath before gesturing at Asti to step inside after him, if he likes.] That sounds about right. [Serious green eyes meet Asti's] If it exists, it can be defeated. Nothing's so powerful that it can't be ended, even if thinks it is. Especially if it thinks it is. We'll find a way to save you, I promise.
