Leo had gone quiet. Instead of acting like he was fine, he just didn’t say anything. Radio silence was the name of the game. He’d found ways to avoid people, to avoid things and he wondered why Rey hadn’t reached out or shown up and demanded he stop acting stupid. The only person he’d said anything to was Betsy and that was to let her know he wasn’t feeling well (a lie) and couldn’t make it to their session on Wednesday.
After that, he stayed in his forge, body still.
While sleeping, images came to him, things from home. Calypso, Apollo, a fight where he nearly died at the hands of Commode Man. Choosing to stay in Indianapolis. Needing to fly with Festus to LA as fast as possible. To warn Camp Jupiter of an incoming attack. Then, when he finally go back to see Jason and Piper, Jason was dead.
Jason was dead. It was the thing that resonated. Jason was dead.
He woke up screaming. It was enough to startle Festus, who, in turn, knocked over a collection of things in the forge as he reacted. Nightmares weren’t exactly new, but it had been a while since he’d watched everything play out the way he used to. Dreams where he’d get flashes of things that happened or things that would happen.
A minute later, he was curled up on his side crying. He hadn’t even gotten to say goodbye. He hadn’t gotten to say hello again and one of his best friends had been taken from him. If the Roman demigods didn’t kill Caligula, Leo would. With his bare hands if he had to.
But for now he was going to stay in his forge and cry until he didn’t have anything left and then he was going to find out where Rey was. If she was even still here.
MARGO AND KYLO, FINN (is the only one filtered separately)
I don't know you, but have you seen Rey or heard from her? It's not a big deal, it's just usually she checks in and she hasn't, which is okay exceptfor people being sent home and now my best friend's dead and I don'tyou know. She hasn't. So um. I sort of need to find her, but I don't know where to look? Or if she's here anymore. I just...wanted to know.
Are you busy? I got...um...extra news and...I...it's bad. You know. Like updated memories. But it's fine if you're busy. I'm fine.
I'm here. Sorry if I've been...not here. It's just kind of sucked a lot. And [...] yeah. Hi.
