[He sort of rolls his eyes to the ceiling.] Sometimes they don't go far enough when people think you cause trouble everywhere you go. But I feel that way about other people.
I'd believe that. [Eventually he joins Val at the table with his own cup of shitty coffee, focused more on the warmth than anything else.] You haven't been getting into too much trouble here at least. You're off your game, man.
You ever think we're gonna run out of stuff to fight in there? I keep thinking about what we haven't uncovered yet but how the forest doesn't seem to like us exploring. [Not that that's going to stop him, but you know.]
Maybe. I just wish we had a better way to map this stupid thing.
[...] Speaking of. I got something I want to show you. [Off he goes, brb. He'll return though with what looks like a map in his hands, handing it over to Val.
...or. It's a map to Percy. To Val, it looks like a weather piece of parchment. Tada...?]
What? No, dude, look. [He points at Siren Island which is definitely just a blank spot on a blank piece of paper for Val.] This is the island those sirens were on. Minato and I went back later to explore.
Are you kidding me? [This is asked toward the ceiling to someone they probably can't see. Thanks a lot, Mr. F.] It was a quest reward, I was kind of thinking it'd help us.
You think? [He's still looking at the map, letting his fingers walk across the parchment.] This is the town. The island's over here. Those are the only places I've been so far. It's kind of a big map though.
...maybe. [That's actually a really good theory.] And I don't know. Maybe because it's my reward? There are things I can see at home that most people can't. It could be like that.
Val, you're still the first demon I've actually met. [Hm.] Monsters can see through things, obviously, and some mortals can if they're gifted with the Sight. My mom can, and Rachel can, too. It's still not that common though.
Maybe. [He's chewing his lip in thought.] I kind of wish Rachel was here. She might have a better idea of what's going on, but with everything happening with the oracles back home maybe not. At least it'd answer what people can and can't see.

He takes the coffee and cups his hands around it.]
I suppose I could. I've already given things to my two favorite people here.

Of course you are, Percy.

[The heat seems palatable now, so he takes a sip.] Kindness and loyalty are things that go far, no matter where you come from.

[Percy likes people with similar traits, they're good ones.
But then he chuckles.]
I assure you, I can find my own trouble without anyone interfering.

[...hm...] Maybe it's written in invisible ink.

If it's invisible ink, why can you see it so easily?
