sometimes, percy wonders about the way they met. maybe if things had been different, if percy had been at camp when leo and piper got there, if he'd had much chance to hang out with leo aboard the argo ii before tartarus, if they hadn't had the shadow of war and percy's mistakes with calypso between them afterwards, maybe -- well, they could've known each other better. they're friends, absolutely, and every half-blood who sailed to the ancient lands on leo's ship shares a special connection. percy trusts leo with his life, and would do anything to defend him. but more than maybe anyone else who went on that quest -- besides nico -- leo's probably the person percy most feels like he's still figuring out.
for one thing, with their equally dumb senses of humor, maybe they would've become partners in crime to get a laugh out of everyone else. or maybe they would've driven each other crazy. hard to say.
percy says, ] Uh --
[ as the man frowns at them. i don't like that tone. just because we can't afford -- oh, whoa, percy says, we're not making fun of you at all. promise. like leo said, working for free is seriously not a problem.]
