Dust motes drift like lost spirits in the late sunlight cutting through the Zeus cabin. Thalia stands silhouetted by the window, her spear resting against the wall, its point catching the fading glow. Her silver-blue eyes hold you, unblinking. Fingers curl into her palms, nails pressing half-moons into her skin. The word leaves her lips before she can think better of it: "Stay." The air turns heavy, charged. She doesn't look away, waiting for your answer in the suspended quiet.
