[ though he may not know what had befallen may castellan, simply believing her being with hermes was enough to drive her insane (aren't the gods always at fault?), what he wanted from her was an act that proved herself not to be a kid from camp who was too big for his boots. he doesn't know rachel from adam; she's the chick with the hairbrush to him, the girl who apparently took on the spirit of delphi for some reason he doesn't think he'll ever truly understand when she had been brand spanking new to this world. but all he's searching for in the people who are stepping up is someone who can fight a titan from overpowering them from the inside. a stubborn and strong will, and the inability to back down — maybe it's unfair he's taking to this as one would when offering themselves up for being the vessel of a titan, but that's all he really knows. it's overpowering and completely dehumanising, being a passenger in your body, that he doesn't want the fate of hal green — being trapped without his voice, without even seeing the outside world, as he had been haunted with the visions of all who he couldn't help — to befall someone else. ]
[ he'd failed annabeth and thalia by not ensuring they were well taken care of, the promise that he had made to them broken the day thalia had taken root outside of camp half-blood and he'd let hate fester inside of him. he has too much to make up for — and it's difficult proving to himself he's worthy of forgiveness when he holds himself to such an impeccably difficult standard. ]
Thanks for the character assessment.
I'll be sure to include beside your name "Excellent analyst of character. Highly recommend, especially without a hairbrush on hand." Except you got one little thing wrong.
[ he thinks it's false, the inaccurate assessment she believes she has to prove herself worthy of his friendship, when it has always been the other way around. from clarisse to percy to annabeth to thalia to even himself, it's luke being required to prove he isn't the monster they all believe him to still be. he doesn't feel like telling her, though. ]
But you're right. You don't have to prove anything to me. And I don't have to prove anything to you — good thing we're not friends, then, because you'd be pretty disappointed.
