[ Leo's dug something out of his tool belt to keep his hands busy while he waits, but when Thalia appears, he shoves it back into a pocket before looking up. For once, he doesn't try to lighten the mood, or even smile. ]

Hey.

[astrapi]

[ thalia's smirk fades back into the frown that it had been before seeing leo as she shoves her hands into her pocket. ]

Jason's gone. [ but they both knew that already. ] How are you holding up?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Sorry, Thalia, but he just hasn't been in the mood for joking around. ]

Piper's gone, too, [ Leo reminds her. He'd already been to see Nico before coming here, and her shard sat in one of his tool belt pockets, feeling heavy as a boulder. Both of his best friends are gone, Thalia - how do you think he's holding up?

He looks away before answering, watching the water flow. He's never sure how to talk about this kind of thing, least of all with someone he barely knows, even if it is Jason's older sister. ]

I'm getting by, [ he says vaguely. ] You?

[ damn, she could feel the stinginess of his words. not that she could really blame him. she'd probably be even worse if she was in his position. ]

I feel like shit. [ best to be honest, right? ] Neither of us got a chance to say bye, huh?

[ while luke may not know who leo is or that he is currently in the drabwurld, george and martha do — and they've been keeping an eye on him for their good bud, hephaesteus. though he may not know of them at all, they slither away from luke with two stones turned to gold to leave outside his door. with snake teeth marks embedded into it, they had asked a fairy to write them a note — and it's in poor chicken scratch he'll read: ]

From the Jack of All Trades.

[ and if leo's to catch the fairy before she flutters away and inquire as to who it's from, she'll tell him the messenger of the gods, then hesitate and two snakes. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

No, [ he says bitterly, frowning at the fountain. ] I was too busy fighting someone else's fight. They were gone before I even got halfway back, then I got that message from Nico...

[ That hadn't been the best day he's had since waking up in the Drabwurld, he recalls. He was just grateful he had those dogs to take the frustration out on.

Biting his lip, Leo continues, ] They were both here when I got here - just like when we went to Camp Half-Blood. And now they're both gone, just like that, and all that's left are shards. What good is that?

[ It doesn't give him his friends back, that's for sure. And without them, he almost feels... lost. They've always been there with him. What's he supposed to do without them? ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Ooooookay, this has to be filed under some of the weirdest gifts he's ever received - right up there with the Fortune Cookie of Doom. He does chase the little fairy to ask about it, and when he hears "messenger of the gods," he knows exactly where to go, even if the snake part throws him off a bit. He hasn't met the guy yet, but he's heard plenty about Luke Castellan from Percy and the others - son of Hermes, supposed villain and/or hero of the second Titan war that Leo had completely missed while he was busy running from foster homes. Guess it's time to formally introduce himself.

After asking where to go to find the other demigod, he leaves immediately, turning the two golden stones over in his hand anxiously. He has to wonder what prompted this, because he's done absolutely nothing to warrant it, if you ask him. What brought it on, and what the heck does "and two snakes" mean? With the note in his pocket, Leo stares at the door for a moment, and finally knocks. ]

[ unfortunately, luke's out in the elven part of the world with thalia swept up in his embrace. but left behind are his two snakes, george and martha, who insist on coming to the celebrations much later. it's cryptic as hades and how he wooed persephone itself, but luke lets them be. ]

[ through the door he'll hear the loud singing of the macarena, a woman's voice laughing stop that, george! your hands don't go down there! (lets ignore the fact that snakes don't have hands), and then hears something in french, a deep rumbling no one wants translated as martha's laugh trickles loudly beneath the gap of the door. but the lock of said door does unlock with a little click if leo wishes to come inside and perhaps require some bleach much later. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ What in the name of Hades did he just walk in on.

Should he go?

He should probably go. ]

Guess I didn't get the invite? [ he calls instead. ] I can always come back later...?

[greywater]

[She sounds eager and excited, hoping what she's heard is true.]

For true, Leo? Did you come up with the idea of the White Citadel? For if you are still here, I should like to see you again. I am only here for a few days, and must get back to Cothromach, but if your schedule permits it, please do get in touch.

[marred]

[ leo will definitely want to come back later. ]

[ george and martha are going to smooch now. perhaps he can even hear kissing noises if he stays long enough! ]

voice;

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Meera! He's never heard her quite this excited; it's almost funny, and it does get a laugh from him. ]

It wasn't my idea, but I am designing it, and I'm helping build, too. I'll probably be here for a while, so you can swing by the forge anytime I'll probably be there! Or you could just ask around if I'm not.

[ He can totally make time for Meera, construction or no construction. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ N O P E

leo is out of here bye ]

voice;

[greywater]

I'd like to see you if I could. What you've done is brilliant.

[She is impressed, too. She knows she got to see him briefly at Cothromach, but with war around them it was hard to have a moment to do anything.]

ooc: do you have any logs/ would like me to throw something up?

voice;

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Well, there's a burst of pride he hadn't been expecting. It's not unwelcome. ]

Awesome! I'll just have to make sure they're not going to mess anything up while I'm gone, but I think it'll be fine. They shouldn't miss me for a little while.

ooc: there is a starter here at the white citadel log!

( That's right, she is checking with every last person who has shown her any kindness here. If she appears withdrawn and exhausted, she seems to pay it no heed. )

Señor. How do you fare in the wake of all the destruction? Have you need of anything?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He looks a ragged when the feed begins, and more than a little tired. It was hardly his easiest fight out there, and his first in the middle of a melee quite that gruesome. It sucked, and so did everything that happened at the Station. ]

Been better, [ he says, grateful that his voice doesn't come out in a croak this time, the way it had after Ryan hit him, accidentally or otherwise. ] I could use a nap or twelve after all that. And maybe some tacos.

[ But okay, this isn't all about him. There are other concerns. ] How're you? I heard they destroyed Caer Scima. You okay?

[choreographics]

...hey. Can I talk to you really fast? ["Like, before I totally lose the nerve to do so?"]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ That doesn't sound good. Not that anything really has been good, lately, but... ]

Yeah. What's up?

[choreographics]

I think I need to apologize to you...like, really, really bad. Things got out of control and I was trying not to hit you but you kinda just--seriously, I thought you'd know how to understand a little better because of the whole demigod thing.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ What. ]

Dude. What are you talking about?

[choreographics]

Uh. Soo...remember that thing that was running around the Station electrocuting people?

[commandertoolbelt]

The elemental? Yeah, what about it?

[choreographics]

Come on, do I really have to say it?

[commandertoolbelt]

Say what? What are you talking about?
