Blood of Olympus [Here be Spoilers?]

[sonoftheseas]

Yeah, I figured this might be coming.

You knew that it had to end sooner or later, and frankly fighting against Gaia? Not something I'd really want dragged out for another few books. Even for your enjoyment.  Also, dude, I thought we were getting me new icons, what happened to that? 

Yeah, I am avoiding the point of the topic, I don't want to think on it either! 

Listen, we've been through it all, me and you, an' it's not like you're suddenly gonna forget about me. I mean, look at that Harry kid, you still cling to his books and sob over them. Oh yeah, you said I was to remind you to actually post the first chapter of that fic. And to update the other one. ... Probably was supposed to have done that a while ago. ... My bad? 

I know why you're freaking out over this book. But you need to stop with focusing on the bad, dude. I know you're telling me it's a hard thing to do and I get that, I really do, but you gotta try. Isn't that what they're all saying? 

But, yeah, it's over now. Some new kid's turn next year. Gotta wish him all the luck. He's gonna need it.

[yearrounder]

Probably. I'd be rooting for you.

[sonoftheseas]

Really? [He grins] Then I'd win. Totally. Yup. No problems whatsoever.

[yearrounder]

[That gets him a laugh.]

You'd better, hero. What kind of a champion would lose?

[sonoftheseas]

Oh, I know this one! ... The one who didn't listen to the plans of his awesome girlfriend?

[yearrounder]

Good boy. You might actually live, then.

[sonoftheseas]

Living is something I'm hoping to do for quite a while. You in on this plan?

[yearrounder]

Completely. As long as you're around.

[sonoftheseas]

It's part of the plan. See, I can make those. [small smile]

[yearrounder]

That's a good one. I approve.

[sonoftheseas]

Approval from Wise Girl? Wow, I'm doing something right. [It's all in a light, teasing tone]

[yearrounder]

Don't let it go to your head.

[sonoftheseas]

Oh, I'll make sure to keep my ego in check. ... Where does that phrase even come from?

[yearrounder]

I don't know. I think it's a combination of things.

[sonoftheseas]

A combination of what though? [He's looking very confused by this]

[yearrounder]

I don't know, Seaweed Brain. You'll have to ask an etymologist.

[Wait. This is Percy.]

A language historian.

[sonoftheseas]

[cue a confused look]

...That's a thing that exists?

[yearrounder]

Yes, it does. They spend a lot of their time in old books and dictionaries.

[sonoftheseas]

Huh. Sounds like something Ella would like.

[yearrounder]

She might already know. You could ask.

[sonoftheseas]

Next time I see her, I will. If I remember.

[yearrounder]

Should I remind you?

[sonoftheseas]

Might be a good idea, yeah.

[yearrounder]

You're welcome. Just don't make me into a human notepad.

[sonoftheseas]

Human notepad... that'd be a cool Halloween costume.

[yearrounder]

So is Aquaman.
