~Hazel C. POV~
I was sitting on Hazel (human's) bed next to her.
She was agitated. "I know he told you about what happened getting the scepter. Why won't you tell me?"
I cleaned my fur "I'b noth thelig yo." I said.
Frank knocked on the door and stuck his head in. I liked the big guy, and it was obvious Hazel did to.
"Is everything okay in here?" He sounded concerned.
"It's great, Frank." Hazel was a great actress. "Just petting the kitty."
Frank nodded. "Okay. See you at dinner." He left.
Hazel turned back to me. "Come on, kitty! I'm his sister! I need to know what's going on with my brother!"
"If he didn't tell you, it's not my place to do so." I informed her. I got up to leave.
Hazel, obviously worried for her big brother, shifted the door so it seemed I was about to walk into the wall. "Answer me!" She said. She sounded like a trapped deer looked.
I looked back at her. "Maybe another time. I'm hungry now. Leo has bacon." I walked through the where the open door should have been to the sound of her anguished cry.
Leo was building a TV.
I was surprised he wasn't fiddling with his sphere. Since the dwarfs attacked, he had obsessed over keeping it near him.
Oh, did I tell you? Nice told me everything that had happened since he had first boarded the Argo ll. Even though Bonnie had read the books aloud to me, we hadn't gotten farther than Mark of Athena.
He looked up. "Hey, Kitty." He said, trying to sound cheerful.
I tried to figure out how to communicate with him, because I wanted to ask him something that Nice had been struggling with. Finally, I remember something that my human had taught me.
I unsheathed my claws and scribbled in the dust "Te Tv no goin wel?"
He looked at me, astonished. "Where did you learn to write, Katty?"
I liked his new nickname for me. I scribbled "MY human Boni taut me."
Leo scratched his head. "Hmm... need some improvement on your spelling... maybe I could build a machine with my sphere that could write!" He looked pleased. "No, the Telly is going fine, Katty." He sounded sorry again.
Now came the time to put Nico's guess to the test. "Wen u wer strandd, u met Calpso didn't you?"
Leo, for once, looked defeated and worn. "Yeah, Katty, I did."
"Nico thout so." I scribbled.
Leo didn't look surprised. "Nice knows a lot of things, Katty, that no one suspects he does."
I wracked my little brain for information about Calypso. "She fel in luv wit u didnt she?" I scribbled.
He nodded. "Well at first she was completely annoyed with me. But yeah she did. And..." He started to sweat. "And I think I loved her too."
"Aww." I scribbled.
Leo shrugged. "I don't know why I'm telling you this Katty. But it feels better now that it's all out."
I bobbed my head. "I smel bacon."
Leo cracked a smile - a real one, not a fake one - and pulled a strip out of his tool belt. "In Texas, bacon is all the rage."
I thought for a moment. "I livd with Boni in Texas bfore we cam to hogwarts."
Leo looked confused. "Hogwarts?"
I bit my tongue softly. "Her scol." I scribbled.
Leo handed me the bacon. "Glad to find another bacon lover." He grinned, looking more like his old self. (Nico had described him as funny and very annoying).
He then held up his mini TV for my approval. I scribbled "Wats te TV for?"
He laughed. "I need to use my Wii remote for something else then just operating the ship, don't I?" He slid a Mario Cart disk in a tiny slot.
He laughed again, playing as Mario. I laughed my cat laugh as well.
We laughed as he won the race.
