[ let's not talk about percy's grandparents on his dad's side, the titans of ancient stories. rhea might've been okay, but kronos...ugh. percy doesn't even like thinking of the guy as his granddad.
truthfully, percy's only ever gotten along with one of his immortal siblings, so a mortal sister is a relief. and thank all the gods that both of her parents are mortal, that she isn't a demigod; he's had nightmares imagining her having to face monsters and ghosts, and, honestly, he doesn't know how thalia or hylla -- who both have half-blood younger siblings -- do it. it'd been like a blessing: she'll have a normal, safe life.
since waking up, it's felt more like a promise that he needs to keep. ]
Yeah, she is. I checked before coming back down here. I don't know if she was there before, but -- I guess I wouldn't have recognized her, anyway. [ then: ] Peggy mentioned you know a thing or two about younger siblings.
[ maybe they can go up to this stasis halls some time, point out their families just in case they wake up while the other is away. the station is a fickle thing. ]
Might be that I do. [ fondly. ] 'Course I've only got the one, so I can't be an expert.

That's pretty. [ estelle. he doesn't think he's ever met an estelle. ;course there's something nice about having an uncommon name.
naturally, he thinks of daisy. eggsy hasn't met a child among the refugees in all his time planetside, but he remains hopeful. ]
Is she up on the station?

I don't know about that. Besides, I bet you still know more about it than I do.

It's a lot of trial and error. Don't know if you've ever had a quest as hard as this one.
[ absolutely saying "quest" because of percy's hilarious fantasy lyfe. ]
