I've thought about asking them to bring him here for me sometime, [ Leo admits sullenly. He misses his dragon quite a bit. Festus is his best bud. ] He wouldn't be able to go outside of the Station, though, unless they made him a flesh-and-blood dragon somehow.
I dunno if I'd call it pouting, exactly? The Greek/Roman divide's kind of doing a number on them, so they're all kind of wacko. Maybe Zeus thought barricading them all up there was supposed to help somehow. I try not to think about it too much. Gods are weird. And, yeah, a total drag. You wouldn't believe the crap we do for them, and we don't even get a thank you! I mean, you'd think Hera would be a little more calm with me at least, since she freaking babysat me, but noooo. All I got was a "Hurry up and free me from this stupid earth cage!" And don't even get me started on Khione.
[ There is a reason he hates the cold, and it's not just because he's from Texas. ]
I don't know if they'd like me sharing my secrets with one of the Unseelie. [ But when has that ever stopped him? Leo's always excited to talk shop with a fellow mechanic or engineer. ] Got me there. It doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe the king thinks we need them, but the queen doesn't? I dunno, I've just kind of gotten used to it. But no, I've never been sent back. It's just been one long ride.
Yeah, but my mom always told me to keep moving forward instead of living in the past. [ Or keep running, so it translated. Running from the fear, from the memories, from the pain... Same difference, right? ] My aunt called me a diabloand blamed me for my mom's death. [ She wasn't entirely wrong, either, but it was more Gaea's fault than Leo's. He's still bitter about the way she treated him.
But something else catches his attention. ] You said "we." You had siblings?
