The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the sand as the waves hiss against the shore, restless and rising. Percy's grip is iron on the new camper's collar, dragging him through the surf toward the churning water. His jaw is set, sea-green eyes storm-dark, ignoring your calls to stop. The guy stumbles, sputtering, but Percy doesn't slow—he's going to make this very clear. When he finally turns to you, his voice is low, almost gentle: "Don't worry, you. I'm just gonna have a little chat with him." The waves crash louder, waiting.
