Anyone who knows Arya Jackson for more than five minutes knows her opinion of the world, and demigods not so fair place in it. Unfortunately, since the war Arya isn't that easy to get to know. To most she's little more than a legend.
Arya is fine w...
"Walking home for a moment. You almost believe you could start again. And an intense love rushes through your heart and hope. It's unendurable. Unendurable."

"What's something that you've not told me yet?" He asked.
She thought for a long time, "I never disliked you... I envied you more so than I have ever envied anyone else."

IN THE VERY LATE HOURS OF THE NIGHT, Arya and Percy found themselves in Cabin three.
Even her own bed didn't feel quite like it belonged to her anymore.
She had her own room aboard the Argo II, and didn't realize how much she wanted a space to herself until she admitted as much to Ace. Sure the whole cabin had been lived in by only her for fourteen years before her brother arrived, but it was never hers, it was her father's. The whole idea of cabins was really just a temporary home. A stop on a long journey until the demigods felt like they could survive on their own in the real world.
It was bothering her more than she wanted to admit or deal with.
So she kept Percy talking. Mostly, about his visit with his mother where he admitted that at the sight of her he broke down sobbing. Taking comfort in his mother who he hasn't seen in half of a year and washing away the fear that he might not get to see her again. Percy was so gladdened that he would have another sibling in his life. That his mom felt comfortable enough in her own life that she felt she could have a kid.
"How do you feel about being an older sister?" Percy asked, one arm under his head.
"We won't be related by blood." Arya reminded him, not wanting to overstep her boundaries as an adopted member of the Jackson family.
Percy sat bolt upright and threw his pillow at his sister, "Stop that shit right now. Blood or no, that kid will still be your sibling and I know you'll love it just as much."
"It." Arya laughed at her brother before conceding pretty quickly, "Yeah you're right."
"She told me to get you over to visit too."
"The minute I get more than a moment of freetime to myself I promise I will put Sally at the top of my priority list."
