Pool | Afternoon | Sunday | February 13

After meeting Leander earlier in the day, Percy wasn't about to stick around his room and wait for more kids to find him. He'd herded Leander (and dragged Jason along with them since he was the other dad) down to the pool since any kid of his probably liked the water.

Once down there, he'd taken the time to call Luke and both invited him and told him to find Nico since it wasn't like Percy could snap a note up to Ethan's mother. Sure, neither Luke or Nico were big fans of the water but wasn't a pool supposed to be a good way to entertain kids so their parents could spend time beating their heads into the walls or something?"

Percy wasn't sure but being around the water relaxed him enough that he either thought he could deal with the horde of demigod kids or he could make Jason or Nico or Luke deal with it because he had the water as backup. One or the other.

[Percy's here for the two demigods, a Robin, and aaaaaaaaall their kids but the pool's open!]

See? Totally a reason that he went to bug this dad. "Yeah, but he's got some girl with freaky eyes hanging 'round, too. Her dad looks like you, only without the old man hair," Ethan informed Percy, making the splash explode out into a fine mist all around him.

"Nice," Percy complimented, impressed. He was pretty sure that Ethan could destroy the entire island if so motivated. Percy really didn't want to motivate him that way.

"And my hair's not like an old man's!" he protested. "Have I told you why my hair looks like this?"

"Yeah, but Dad's looks better. Mommy says he lasts longer in every way," Ethan shared. "But you make water slides in the house."

Yeah, well, at least he wasn't a mommy.

"Where'd you get the eye patch?" Percy asked, deciding a subject change was needed right now. "Going for the pirate look?"

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"'M not a pirate," Ethan said, pulling at the patch to make it smack satisfyingly against his forehead. "I'm a demigod! We're monster killers. I'm gonna ride Mrs. Leary into battle!"

"You are?" Percy asked, sending a fairly high wave towards Ethan from behind to see if he'd catch it. "Not gonna fly?"

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"Duh, I can't fly!" Ethan's eyes got big at the wall of water heading for him and he spread his hands willing the water around him to form a protective bubble, keeping his awesome eyepatch totally dry.

"Not even if you wear a pair of special shoes?" Percy asked, still impressed at how quickly Ethan reacted. This kid was like a freaking demigod king or something. How was Olympus safe in his world?

Those shoes were a huge bone of contention in his world and Ethan frowned. "Because Daddy says I can't have all the powers. Then there'd be none left for anybody else! LAME! But I can make skeletons obey!"

"Can you?" Percy asked, giving Ethan wide eyes since he seemed so proud of himself. "Do and Mommy practice that sort of thing back home? Making skeletons obey?"
