chiron and mr.d faced each other at the card table, playing pinochle.
annabeth leaned against the railing, while i sat on it. annabeth and i were watching our surroundings absentmindedly when grover appeared with percy.
grover was muttering something to percy, probably telling him who we were, when percy cried out, "mr. brunner!"
i looked at chiron confused, until i realized that was probably who he went undercover as.
"ah, good, percy" he said to the raven-haired boy. "now we have four for pinochle."
he offered him a chair to the right of mr. d, who looked at him with bloodshot eyes and heaved a great sigh. "oh, i suppose i must say it. welcome to camp half-blood. there. now don't expect me to be glad to see you."
"uh. thanks," percy scooted away from him.
"annabeth? riley?" chiron called us.
annabeth went forward and i jumped off the ledge.
"these young ladies nursed you back to health, percy. annabeth, riley, my dears, why don't you go check on percy's bunk? we'll be putting him in cabin eleven for now."
annabeth said, "sure, chiron."
i scrunched my face up, but followed annabeth nonetheless.
before leaving i turned to percy. his hair was messy, like he just rolled out of bed, which he probably did. his sea green eyes looked at me curiously. i have no idea what made me say it but i did, "you drool in your sleep." i ran after annabeth across the green.
we went to the hermes cabin and i walked right in. "new kid. need a bunk," i said before plopping down on luke's bed.
luke grabbed the pillow from under my head and hit me in the face with it.
"ow," i grumbled.
luke smirked. "he can have that cot," he said pointing to one on the floor.
