[Percy is in his own suite for once, mostly so that any backlash from this won’t be directed at Annabeth. This attempt is marred a little by the fact that he has her shield on the desk in front of him, but oh well. Unlike his usually cheery face, his expression now is a little drawn, frowning]
Okay, I’m not really sure how to bring this up, so I’m just going to say it. It’s really important – as in, related to all of us being here – so you probably all want to hear this. But it might be upsetting, too? I don’t know how everyone’s going to feel about this, which is why it’s taken a while to come up. But with the palace starting to kidnap people involved off the streets, I think that people should know.
A couple of weeks ago, the underwater barrier went down. I don’t know how or why, but a couple of people were able to get past it and under the turtle itself. There was some kind of facility there that the kedan were taking supplies to, and when we went to have a closer look…
[He pauses for a second, before ultimately deciding to just forge ahead] It was a cloning facility. There were clones there of us – for some reason they were in giant light bulb tanks? I don’t even know. I don’t know if that means that we’re clones, or that they’ve just been making copies or something, but that’s what we found. We would’ve looked for more information, but the kedan decided to blow the whole place up, I guess. [He’s going to neglect to mention Kara’s helping hand with that] Ever since that happened, the new people arriving haven’t been pulled out of the ocean.
[He leans back, hand absently tapping on the edge of Annabeth’s shield] That’s all I know. And now Nita’s been basically kidnapped by the palace. You know, considering that swimming places isn’t exactly a capital offence. [The scowl is more of a glare now, and it kind of becomes apparent that Percy is actually really freaking angry]
So if anyone else wants to find out what the hell is going on – well, you probably shouldn’t talk to me about it, I kind of just painted a giant target on my forehead. But you guys have the information now, so do what you can with it.

action
He squeezes her hand back, half giving comfort and half taking it.] No choice about it now. [If he sounds a little distant it's because he's remembering the first time he held her hand and spoke about getting through Tartarus. His thoughts run off with him and it takes him a bit to shake out of it] --Sorry. I'll stop dwelling on it one day, promise. [Nope]
action
No you won't. [Because she knows him, and she squeezes his hand again, before leaning over to wrap her arms around his shoulders from behind in a hug.] But it's okay. [She can't really blame him. It's not like she will either.]
action
[His expression twists a little, involuntarily. He tries to turn his face so she won't see, before she hugs him. it feels good, comforting. He wishes he could believe it's going to be okay] Whatever you say, Wise Girl.
action
[Whatever you say, Wise Girl, and she can pick up on tones and feelings and everything else he's not actually saying. Annabeth rests the side of her head against his, arms still around him, and for a moment, she's surprised at how little she's slumping over in the gesture.] Let's just - focus on this right now, okay?
[Because it'll never really go away, but they still have other things to do. Like discussions about cloning facilities, apparently.]
