[The execution was quick and fast, but the memory was less quick to fade. He'd watched the whole thing, relieved that Ezio kept his promise to be quick with her death and sickened at the idea that this may not always be the case.

None of this is fair. Two people are now dead thanks to this game and it bothers him more than he'd like. He knows that people are taking care of giving the girls a proper burial though and while it takes time he does find himself wandering toward the graveyard.

It's here he spots Hannibal with a shovel in hand, dirt on his clothing and a grave in progress. Though he almost looks down with it, Percy does approach. He's alone this time, no Mrs. O'Leary with him, and though he can't keep his eyes off of the hole in the ground he does speak up.]


...I don't think I could have ever imagined you with this much dirt on your clothes.

[Time in town has left Percy to his own devices to seek out people who need a hand, people who seem to be struggling after the execution, and people who wanted to compare notes. He hasn't bothered to really decompress himself beyond his initial break-away from the group with Annabeth, but at the same time he knows better. They have to keep moving. They're in this game officially now.

It's why he walks to the saloon with a purpose, seeking out a familiar face and finally looking to get a sense of the scene of the crime. He carefully opens the doors and pokes his head into the saloon, checking around for Sara.]


Anybody home? [It's a bit of a wry joke, if only because he's seen her out and about more than at the actual hotel so far.]
