I saw him just in time. He had been in and out of the infirmary since he almost died after transporting the Athena Parthenon across on ocean and then some. Every time he tried to jump through the shadow world he risked being forever claimed by its inhabitants. I put my hand on his shoulder stopping him.
"What did I say Neeks? No more underworldy stuff until I say so" I said as he brushed me off. Our eyes met for what seemed like forever until finally he looked away, blushing slightly. I studied him for a moment, he looked undernourished. Other than that he seemed fine. Who was I kidding, he was more than fine. His eyes were so mysterious, like he knew something about you that you yourself didn't even know. That's probably why everyone thought he was creepy. So why did I care? I was just about to ask him if he needed help but he was already gone.
