Pie day was pretty clever of the castle. It isn't something I've heard of, but being an inspired and hopeful engineer, the number is an important part of mathematics and physics.

Speaking of, I was thinking about the idea of a school again. I don't know how many qualified teachers there are, but is anyone willing to become one? I know we have many people who have studied a variety of things, and it can be beneficial to anyone who wants to pick up a class or two.

The subject is up to you.

[Filtered to Percy]

I'm headed to the stables if you're not busy.

Are there any of those here?

[waterproofed]

Nope. Not that I've seen, anyway. There are those weird blue horses in the Dead Zone, though.

[signedlefthanded]

But I thought you can't talk to them?

[waterproofed]

[Percy frowns] Paradisa doesn't always go by the rules.

[signedlefthanded]

Well at least you can here.

[waterproofed]

Yeah, that's a good thing. It's nice to still have these connections with my dad. All the horses even call me "Lord" like they did back home.

[signedlefthanded]

You're nobility?

[waterproofed]

Well, my dad is Poseidon, so I guess.... technically?

[signedlefthanded]

I thought you were a demigod.

[waterproofed]

[still technically a prince, though... never ever ever gonna enforce that title]

I keep telling them not to call me that, but they do it anyway.

[signedlefthanded]

So you're Lord Jackson. [She smiles over at him, teasing.]

[waterproofed]

I'm just Percy. That "lord" stuff isn't for me. It's too werid.

[signedlefthanded]

I would imagine. [Except not really, because she grew up pretty filthy rich.]

[waterproofed]

[and that is intimidating, Vi. You so sophisticated, girl]

How long you wanna ride around?

[signedlefthanded]

However long you want. I like spending time with you. [She blushes, but it's true.]

[waterproofed]

[he turns red, now very interested in the ground]

Um... I like hanging with you too.

[signedlefthanded]

We should do it more. We always seem to have adventures.

[waterproofed]

Yeah. Adventures are way more fun when you're with a friend.

[signedlefthanded]

Especially if no one is trying to kill you.

[waterproofed]

Right? Man, it's so nice doing stuff and not worrying about that.

[signedlefthanded]

It's a strange feeling, being safe.

[waterproofed]

A good one, though. It's the sort of thing I wish could be real for us both back home. ... Especiall you. [she deserves it. Violet's the best person D:]

[signedlefthanded]

It means a lot that you think that. It would be nice to not worry, you know? Make sure my brother and sister are safe.

[waterproofed]

[he nods] It's tough being the older sibling, always worrying about how they're getting along.

[signedlefthanded]

I just hope Sunny remembers our parents.
