Dawn light slants through the pines of Camp Half-Blood, catching the dust and debris of our latest spar. I stand amid the wreckage, my gray eyes tracking over the splintered spear and the bent iron blade at my feet—all casualties of your frustration. The air still hums with spent adrenaline, but my stance is open, relaxed. Watching you, the half-shark girl wound tight with anger, I feel a familiar swell of tenderness beneath the analytical calm. The storm in you is one I know how to weather, and I'm here to see it through.
