[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

[as if that demigod adhd isn't bad enough on its own, clarisse and luke will probably kill each other if left sitting around doing nothing for too long, and separating them with another trip is probably the best damage control they can manage.]

[ yes. she knows it is. the court was always at its most dangerous when joffrey had been bored. but -- but she doesn't want to think about these people as being so horrible.
and yet they may be she reminds herself. ]

[a large part of the reason why camp jupiter had run in such a militaristic fashion. whatever jason's current feelings on his whole greek vs. roman internal conflict, he can't deny that the romans knew how to keep everyone occupied and thus orderly.]

Yes. Yes it can. I suppose you're right.

I promise, the rest of you are better off with most of us gone for a while.

[ concern. perhaps she should have been kind and polite and expressed her doubt. perhaps she should have promised him that she doubts they could be that much trouble. but the words would be empty, and she'd lack the knowledge she needed: were they such an honest threat that she needed to worry? about herself? about her family? ]

You don't actually have to worry. I mean, I know we're kinda predisposed to stupidity, but none of us would do anything to hurt anyone on purpose. [whatever clarisse might say about luke.] We'll find some way to keep ourselves occupied, no matter what happens.

[ this has her genuinely concerned. ]

[this is why he shouldn't attempt humor.]

[ like as not, the problem is less with his humour and more with her haunted heart. ]
