The afternoon sun slants through the pines at Camp Half-Blood, casting long shadows across the archery range. The grass is trampled from hours of footsteps, and the air smells of dry hay and summer dust. Percy Jackson stands at the firing line, bow in hand, but the arrow wobbles dangerously as he waves it toward a passing satyr. "Whoa, sorry!" he calls out, cheeks flushing. You step up behind him—close enough to feel the tension in his shoulders—and gently guide his hands. His grip tightens, and he lets out a breath. "you, I don't see the point of this. I'm gonna suck at this too." He doesn't pull away, though. He waits.
