[jason once again appears on the locket network, this time appearing to actually be in one of the provided bedrooms of caer glaem. woah. he tugs idly at the collar of his shirt, new outfit helpfully provided by the fairies in place of his original t-shirt and jeans (those unfortunately all torn and dirty after the camping trip/worm hunt). it's a lot more fantasy than anything he's used to, but he's way too nice to complain about the clothes he was given for free.]

Hey. Just wanted to check in, I guess, before we head out again tomorrow. More exploring and all that.

[the hope, of course, is that they find something useful to the people stuck here, a way of getting home or something. getting a feel for the area and learning what kind of threats inhabited it was helpful too, though.]

It might be a bit useless right now, but I sort of made plans to eventually help someone learn to fight -- whenever we get back again, at least -- so I figured I might as well open the offer up to anyone else who's interested in it. I've got a lot of experience training people, and I'm used to teaching kids, so literally anyone is welcome. [a beat, where a hesitant look briefly crosses his face before he covers it back up with that cool, unshakeable praetor look.] Clarisse, if you wanna help out with that whenever it happens, I'd appreciate it.

[consider that a peace offering. or at least, an apology for accidentally arming your nemesis with a lethal weapon. he can think of no better way to appease clarisse than to give her the opportunity to show off her admittedly very impressive fighting skills.

that appears to be all he has to say for now, but he seems to fiddle with the locket for a moment before it cuts out for most people, working out how to send a message privately.]

-private to luke-

can we talk

[ she almost asks where they're going, but she doesn't really want to know. even if her own curiosity is nagging at the back of her skull, it's best she has no idea where they're headed so she can put as much distance between herself and luke as possible. it's not like she's not used to getting left behind at camp, anyway. always holding down the fort, isn't that all the ares cabin is good for?

she'd gotten a quest once on a technicality and chiron did entrust her with the secret mission into the labyrinth, but out of all the years she's been at camp now? it hardly seems like anything worth mentioning. the daughter of war is good at two things: being angry and fighting. she doesn't work or travel well with others, so it's probably for the best they left her behind anyway, regardless of all the shit with luke.

instead, she continues on with the conversation she isn't sure is really going anywhere. but it's better to talk about this than have him attempt to bring up the incident. ]

You ever learn to use a spear? Or were you too busy playing Noah's Ark?

[in his own defense, the original happy camping trip was all nico's planning. who got brought along wasn't jason's business. as for this one, well -- with clarisse and luke as ready to murder each other as they'd seemed, it doesn't really seem like a good time to invite them on a trip together.]

I'm almost as good with spears as I am with swords, actually. My old weapon, Ivlivs, had both spear and sword forms, but it got destroyed.

[ well, color her surprised. jason gets brownie points for his skill with a spear, though when he mentions his old weapon, her face goes a bit darker, her jaw tensing. it's nothing compared to what he witnessed after they'd received their boons, but she certainly isn't impressed that he'd asked for backbiter over a weapon of his own. she doesn't care if he was trying to do luke a favor. but she's at least trying to keep herself in check this time. ]

And you didn't think to ask for that instead?

[he frowns, already missing the comparatively pleasant conversation. it's way too soon to be back on this shit.]

I have my gladius now, I didn't really need the old one. Besides, it was destroyed. If I was gonna take a risk with asking for something they might not actually be able to get, then I figured I'd at least use that experiment to see if I could get something for someone who didn't have anything.

[ oh, don't get your panties in a twist, grace. she doesn't want to stay on this subject for long. ]

Well, congratulations, now you know.

[ at the expense of the somewhat comfortable atmosphere between all of them. ]
