Isolophobia - Piper
We were doing okay, for the first night. Thalia wanted to show off her 'awesome survival girl' skills or something, so we stopped early. I was to the point of confusion until I remembered that Jason was as good at a poker face as hypnos's kids were pros at sleeping. "Are you okay? Really." I tried to charmspeak him into telling me how he felt, and I felt bad. But ...without him what would I have now? My feelings were all jumbled up between asking as friends or Aphrodite's hero, but Jason interrupted my thoughts. "What if he's already dead?" I'd rather he have pushed his sword through me slowly. It might have even hurt less. At that moment I made a mistake. "It's okay! She said anything could be found again. That means we are getting. Leo. Back." okay great. Now when it doesn't exist, we're all screwed! It made him smile though, so I decided it was worth it.
"Heyyyy! Instead of sitting around, you could help me out here. I've got dinner~!" Thalia sang, appearing out of nowhere. I looked at what she'd brought back. Skewered rabbit. Greeeeaaaaat. "Is there a vegetarian option?" I asked. "It's okay, I brought some apples!" She laughed back at me. Why is it when one of the Graces are depressed, the other is more cheerful than usual? Oh well. Lighten the mood for us then. I watched her fling the carcass over the fire. To my surprise, it smelled great! I started eating my apple. Once it was done, Thalia started cutting up the meat into edible pieces and... I stopped watching. I didn't want to see this.
Surprisingly, Jason had brought sleeping bags, so I was saved from waking up with ants all over me. "Tommorrow, we start moving again before the sun rises. Then I think we can make it there if we just keep going.." Thalia trailed off. "That's a plan then?" Jason asked. "Yup. That's the plan."
