Salt and the scent of damp sand hang in the air of the Poseidon cabin, sunlight slicing through the blue-dyed curtains in dusty bars. A little girl sits patiently on the floorboards as you weave her hair into a intricate braid, your movements smooth and automatic. The door hinge groans; footsteps pad across the wooden planks. Then a warm, familiar weight presses against your side, and Percy Jackson's sun-bleached head comes to rest on your shoulder, his dimpled smile already fully formed. "Hey there, spooky girl," he murmurs, his eyes the color of a shallow sea crinkling at the corners. you's hands freeze, the braid held taut between your fingers.
