Your faith walks on broken glass & the hangover doesn't pass, nothing's ever built to last [W6, Fri]
[He thinks of where she could be not long after he receives his letter from Hannibal. He remembers something Natalie told him not long ago, about how she and Jason came here once to drink away their sorrows and he finds it funny even now.
It's the only bit of humor he has left.
It's with this in mind that he enters the church quietly and shuts the door silently behind him. Churches are fake, he thinks, too boxed in and too reliant on only one god. Then again, it's not like the gods have ever helped him here, have they? And they won't help now.
Percy's spoken to Natalie before about losing friends. And his heart sinks as he realizes just how true those words are.]
...Natalie?

...Natalie?

I get it if the answer is no, but can I see it?

...the others have letters too, I bet. Dr. Lecter was writing these when I saw him on Wednesday. What I show you stays between you and me, and if they ask me about mine, I will be omitting things.
[But from there, he pulls out of his pocket a letter for her to read.]
no subject
...Jesus.
[She isn't sure where to start.]
no subject
[So yeah! That sure is a lot.]
no subject
[She means that, even if she doesn't understand it.]
What are you going to do with all the merit?
no subject
[A beat.] He knew, by the way. I told him after I told you. It's...something I used as leverage when I went to speak to him.
no subject
Knew what, that we knew about him, that he was going to die? That it was going to be me?
no subject
no subject
[She sighs.]
no subject
[He looks at the ceiling.] But with my merit and his...maybe Hal will tell me what we really need to know about winning this game. He tells me enough other stuff.
no subject
[It's a pretty shoddy attempt at humor, but.]
You better send me a letter about everything you figure out.
no subject
...I'll send you a letter as soon as I can. And...when you get to the train, I want you to find Annabeth. Tell her you're coming with us. And hug Xion for me? [His non-bandaged hand scrubs over his face.] It won't be long. Then all of us can go home.
no subject
I will.
[A pause.]
...Can you make sure nobody lets Jason execute Will?
no subject
no subject
[A pause, and then she shakes her head as if to clear it.]
I know he's going to want to, though. I think - I fucked up.
no subject
What makes you say that?
no subject
[Which will probably be answer enough, but.]

gently drops her face into her hand]
We kissed.
no subject
...
...there's a snort of laughter that he ever-so-smoothly turns into a cough.]
Oh? [....pffffhahahaha gods. How unfortunate that he finds that...very sweet.] Your idea or his?

You don't think it's kind of unfair timing on my part?
no subject
...Annabeth kissed me first. We were fourteen, and she thought I was about to die so she kissed me before she ran to get help. I lied to her and told her I had a plan to get us out of trouble. I lied to her to make sure she got away safely.
I ended up crashing my own funeral not long after that. So no, I don't think it's unfair timing if you meant for it to happen. Did you?
no subject
...I think so? Everything kind of happened pretty fast.
