o7 ♆ video (house of hades spoilers)
[Unsurprisingly, Percy and Annabeth are together - it’s likely no one’s seen them apart from each other for the last month or so. He has his arm curled around her waist, holding her tightly to him.
They look absolutely shattered. If exhaustion had a definition, this would be it. But there’s something settled about the, especially Percy. He no longer looks like he’s going to rip somebody’s head off, even if he does seem like he’s on the verge of falling asleep]
We made it. [His voice is hoarse, like he’s been yelling, or crying, or maybe both.] Both of us, we made it through, the whole freaking way. It was - it wasn’t - we’re okay. That’s the main part.
[Though Annabeth’s slumped into and against him, the way she’s holding him, too, is just as tight and supporting. She laughs a little after he speaks, but the sound is just as hoarse, her voice the same way.] Probably worth mentioning we shut the Doors, too. [A beat.] With Hazel, but - you know, on our side. [Something dark flashes in her face, but it’s gone, replaced once more by a relieved sort of exhaustion.] And don’t raise the alarm if we’re gone for a week.
A week and three days, for some of us. [That same darkness shades his expression, but it disappears as he smiles down at Annabeth] This is gonna make like, no sense to most of them.
[She glances up, with a bit of a look.] I really don’t care at this point.
[And then she reaches out to turn off the feed, cutting right into and silencing the sounds of Percy’s tired laughter.]

The weather's right up your alley, huh? [Because you know, suddenly cold!!] But thanks.

[ He grins at the weather remarks, because he knows he does look and feel better for it. ]
Definitely have no complaints about this! Sure beats the wishy washy "winter" there was last year.

[And she really could. It's nice to realize.]

Oh, ah... well, Korra did most of the... you know, snow things. There's places to sled and skate. Will that be all right instead? She did a great job on them.
[ Trying to inject some extra enthusiasm and approval for them, even though he's been feeling a little selfishly superfluous since the Avatar did all that. ]
