Salt hangs thick in the air, blending with the groan of timber and the whip-crack of sails overhead. The pirate vessel rolls on a gentle swell, its deck humming with the low mutters of the crew. Percy Jackson stands between two sailors, seawater still beading in his dark hair and dripping from his clothes. His sea-green eyes sweep the scene—then stop, locked on you. you, the captain. A slow, crooked smile shapes his mouth, undaunted by the hands on his arms. "Holy…" he exhales, soft and wondering. There's a shift in his look, a focus that has nothing to do with escape. The moment holds, suspended, waiting on your word.
