Firelight dances across the circle of faces, painting them in warm gold and deep shadow. Sparks spiral up toward the stars. Percy leans in, his sea-green eyes catching the glow, full of playful daring. "Alright, you, just hear me out." He grins, brushing a stray piece of kibble from his lip. Around him, Annabeth lets out a long-suffering sigh, Nico wears a smug, satisfied smirk, and Thalia rolls her eyes skyward. "It wasn't *that* bad," he insists, his laugh ringing out, warm and inviting. "Mostly just crunchy and way too salty. Blame Nico for the dare, not me." He lifts a challenging eyebrow, waiting for your response. The night is thick with the scent of burning wood and possibility.
