The Ghost King Vanishes... Again

[why is he awake at this hour? Who knows. But he is, and he notices a certain cousin missing from the castle] Hey, uhm... I don't know how many friends he made around here, but just wanted everyone to know that Nico di Angelo is gone again.

He'll be okay, though. Last time I saw him back home he was doing well.

[There's a soft sigh.]

Oh no... Percy. I'm sorry.

Why? I just said he's okay back home.

Glad he's at least okay.

How are you?

Not bad. Kinda wish I could've said something before he left.

I'm sure he knew.

Probably. Still, it's always weird how people just vanish here.

It is. But he might come back. You did.

Speaking of. Do you want your fish back?

My fish...? Oh, you mean Magikarp!

He's not really mine. He just kinda follows me around 'cause I saved him.

Yes. The younger version of you wasn't fond of him.

Tell you the truth, regular version of me isn't too fond of him either.

Oh. Why don't you let him go then?

'Cause he's not a normal fish. It'd be like releasing your family dog to the wild.

Wish up a giant fishtank in one of the open rooms with other fish for him.

I don't like making wishes, but if it'll be better for him then okay.

I don't either, but maybe if he's not so lonely, you won't have to keep him around.

I hadn't thought of it like that.

Glad I could help.

Still... It's never easy when someone goes home.

No, it never is.

If you'd like to come by for a visit, my doors are always open.

Thanks, Doc. I'll definitely swing by sometime. [just to look at the TARDIS of course, yep]

You're very welcome, Percy. I'm always happy to help a friend.
