The roof of the Ares cabin still holds the day's warmth against the chill of the moonlight. Far below, a solitary cricket punctuates the deep silence that has settled between you.

'Sometimes,' she says, her voice stripped of its usual bite, leaving something quiet and impossible to read, 'I just wish you were a boy.' She holds your gaze, unblinking, and waits.
