[By the time they got back from the homestead they'd learned the news about what had happened with Tiara and where she was, what happened with her and the Sheriff that left all of them confused and unsure of what was to come. Everybody began to disperse from the scene, but while he knew Annabeth had questions for some people Percy turned to seek out someone else.

Spotting Noctis, he's quick to catch up and lightly put a hand on the other guy's shoulder to slow him down.]

Hey. Got some time?

[he's not exactly expecting to be pulled aside right now, but there's a weird and comfortable familiarity about someone dropping a hand on his shoulder to get his attention that, at least, stops him from being too startled.

this has definitely been a stressful way to start the day.]

Got nothin' but time right now. [you know, with this super packed schedule and all. he wanted to follow up on their conversation the other day anyway—it works out.]
