CHARACTERS: Davesprite and Annabeth Chase
LOCATION: Annabeth's room
WARNINGS: Some swearing, that's it for now.
SUMMARY: Annabeth decided to be a hermit, Davesprite is not down with that.
NOTES: Egg.


The last time Davesprite talked to Annabeth was weeks ago. He'd been reading and lurking the network, but hadn't seen any sign of her. That's pretty odd. She normally pokes around and tries to gather information as far as he can tell. Might as well go drop by and see what she's up to. Maybe she wants to go for a kitchen run or hang out in the gardens. There's not a ton for kids their age to do, but there's something.

As celestial spirit guide whatever, he feels its his duty these days to keep his other self doing alright (though honestly, he gets out less and hermits more) and to check up on people who know him. He takes a lift to get down to where Annabeth's room is and takes his sweet time getting to her room. He's...never actually been there before. This is a first for him.

He raps on the door with his fist and calls to her. "Hey, Annabeth. You haven't been around in a while, so I thought I'd come down and visit you instead."

She's in her room - which isn't really a surprise, because that's where she is nine times out of ten these days. She just can't bring herself to get out and do much of anything anymore. Wichita tried for a while there, but she has her own things to deal with and Annabeth can be as stubborn as a rock when she wants to be. And what she wanted was to be left alone - no network, no people, just her laptop and the library when she got really bored and then back to her room.

Her demigod hardwiring is going crazy being so cooped up, but some subconscious part of her is taking it almost as a punishment. For getting lost, for losing Percy, for being completely useless is just about everything. She messages Tony every now and then when he bugs her just to keep him away, and Davesprite...well. She thought she did the same, but she must have fallen behind on that too because suddenly there's a knock at her door. For a moment she just kind of stares at the door, confused at who would be there and why, when she hears his voice.

Oh. With a huff she pushes herself off the bed, not really caring if her blonde curls are at all tamed and instead moves to open the door with a small smile. "Hey- uh, do you want to come in?"
