"Bold words from someone who almost lost custody of his sole demigod child to Apollo of all people.”
          Percy, who’d been expecting it, had made sure to put down the food and drink in his hands just moments before. 
          The rest of his family weren’t nearly so lucky. 
          Rhode choked on the toast in her mouth and probably would’ve needed the Heimlich if she weren’t a goddess. Kymopoleia spat her drink all over Benthesikyme—an odd sight considering they were already underwater, and one would think that would mean they couldn’t get covered in other liquids, which clearly wasn’t the case. Benthesikyme likely would’ve been more offended if she hadn’t been leaning over to grab the bowl of eggs in the middle of the table and promptly dropped the entire bowl all over herself in shock. Herophile inhaled an entire waffle and burst into a coughing fit. Amphitrite jerked so hard she banged her knees into the table and also managed to knock over an entire pitcher of juice onto the floor. Tyson’s tools slipped from his fingers, clattering to the floor and scattering under all of their feet.
          Percy and Triton, throughout the whole thing, kept up two truly impressive poker faces. Poseidon, too, froze as though he were made of marble, the only sign of life being the various emotions that passed across his face—shock, disbelief, confusion—and then the realization that had him turning betrayed eyes on Percy.
          “Perseus.”
          Percy kept up his guiltless facade—though he was positive no one at the table was remotely fooled—blinking innocently at his father.“Yes, Dad?”
          Poseidon made several aborted motions to speak, seemingly unable to settle on what he wanted to say. 
          “Why?” The god eventually got out.
          Percy let his father wallow in misery for several long seconds before responding. “Nothing brings estranged siblings together like making their father regret having them.”
          Poseidon did, in fact, look very much like he was regretting ever having children.

“It didn’t look very cavey, something he knew they’d done mostly for him, and it was split into two distinct parts. The ceiling was enchanted to look like the sky rather than dark rock, which he very much appreciated, and warm lights were scattered around, chasing away the dark shadows that so often accompanied caves.
          
          To the left was a riot of color, polka-dot rugs and rainbow blankets and stained glass sun-catchers and painting supplies strewn all along the wall with a corner full of easels. In the back left corner was another, darker entrance, leading to a more stereotypical cave.
          
          In the center was a blazing hearth set into the ground and surrounded by incredibly comfy looking couches.
          
          To the right was a more muted environment, dark blues and greens decorating the floor, and Percy spotted a carton full to the brim of his favorite drawing supplies—Herophile’s gift, he surmised, she always knew what he liked most. In the back right corner was a small grove of trees laden with wind chimes and sun-catchers, and he heard the telltale tinkling of running water that told him there was a waterfall or stream hidden in the woods.
          
          Most of the floor was soft, fluffy carpet, except for the spaces near the walls and around the secluded corners, which looked like stained concrete. The walls were blank, a sharp contrast to the rest of the cave’s explosion of colors.
          
          Scattered around the empty space were a bunch of funky looking couches, contorted into odd shapes.”
