[ The feeds turns on to show Leo, visibly shaken, dirt on his face from where he'd fallen after losing his already tenuous hold on the mountain. He hadn't bothered to clean up yet, too focused on watching the aftermath before hauling out of Unseelie territory to find somewhere relatively safe. ]

We lost Mt. Verla. And the Pyrii... walked right into the Void. Like they didn't have anything left to stay for.

[ With their home gone, he supposes that they really don't. It isn't like they wanted to be saved, anyway. They hadn't even tried, and that disturbed Leo quite a bit, though not as much as seeing them march to their deaths. ]

And I can't... I don't know what happened, if it has something to do with them disappearing or not, but... I can't use my fire. [ His voice trembles as he speaks, looking down at his hands with a shake of his head. ] I tried. Over and over, but I can't do it. I've never... not been able to do it before.

Can anyone else use fire magic? Firebending, or whatever?

[ There's a hesitation, but he asks, ] Is there any way to get it back? Would Shard training help?

[ the drabwurld may accept leo as "legal", but it's not the drabwurld police he's worried about. there's martha, and she's a hell of a lot scarier than any beast the drabwurld could throw at either of them. luke looks uneasy as he continues to press. ]

And if we're going by mortal standards ... You're not, like, fourteen, right?

[ george and martha may have kept tabs on leo during the last year, but, sometimes, his snakes suck at informing luke of any recent developments with the demigods of the drabwurld. the cows are a little better at it, given how many times they've rewritten hot in here to feature leo valdez, front and centre. ]

[ deep sigh. mortal legalities are hardly his biggest concern right now, luke, why are you doing this to him?? ]

[ he's trying to be responsible! leo can hear some singing in the background, george and martha swaying in one another's non-existent arms on a table. athee barks, but luke simply shrugs off the fact that leo's close to being legal in australia. it's close enough; being good at numbers isn't a hermes thing, anyway — nor is abiding by the rules. ]

Are you in Caer Glaem?

No, I'm in Troichean Beinn. All the fires shut down when I lost mine. [ everything sucks on so many levels like you don't even know. ] But I can be there in two minutes if I have to.
