[ so far so good. but let's not talk about the closet full of blue food he summoned forth. Percy spends his time trying to analyze the text, but that's the thing that's so frustrating, they're words. just words with no body language or expressions. he can gleam some context but that only carries him so far. he can't read between all of the lines and he definitely isn't able to read so far into it to believe that every sentence screams Luke Castellan.
they could be obvious.
they could also be really, really misleading. a coincidence. Annabeth ( once again ) hoping for a family that had left her behind. he wants to protect her, but how does he do that when he's not even sure this something is real? ]
i don't know anything about the rooster but apparently the tortoise wins the race
[ he puzzles over the bit about growing taller. like literally, or growing as a person? he skips over the apple bit ( though he remembers the quest that gave Luke that scar ) but isn't immediately pinged by it; only the part of being at his end, coupled with his line about repeating what others have done that says maybe at all. ]
it's better than fate that's for sure much better than knowing something's going to happen somewhere down the line and you'll be powerless to change it
