I think the more I try not to, the more I make anyway. What is a normal amount of mistakes and confusion? Do I make more because of the chaos thing? [Important questions, Annabeth.] Yeah. And archery. Who knew I could be so badass?

[Not her.]

Oh, good. That just means I'm doing what I was meant to do.

[sophos]

You're asking the wrong person what normal is, to be honest. I kinda missed a good portion of the whole school thing. I think everyone's normal is... different. [Grin!!] Frank is teaching you, right?

You always seem to be. [She likes that about Vanessa ok.]

[fatedchaos]

I went to school with a bunch of wannabe stars, I don't think they really knew what normal was either. [What scale has she been reaching for all of her life, then? She nods.] Yeah, now that Roy's gone.

[A beat.] Thanks, Annabeth. For letting me freak out at you.

[sophos]

[She grins a little.] Guess we're both out of luck. I've yet to attend the same school for more than two years, not counting the time I spent year round at Camp Half-Blood.

[Nod nod.] Children of Mars - or Ares - usually have all kinds of weapons proficiency. Frank's really good.

[Her face softens a bit.] You're welcome. Sorry if I wasn't the most useful.

[fatedchaos]

I've been in the same school system my entire life, unless you... Count the time when I was gone. [When she was a prisoner in Nefandus, that is.]

He should give himself more credit for it, but yeah. I feel like I'm in good hands.

[A grin.] You were. You're right, about me and Catty. I just have no idea how to work around this.

[sophos]

Some stability's... nice. [It feels weird to say it out loud, but it slips out anyway.] Even if it gets interrupted. [And she's curious, about what that means, but knowing what she does of Vanessa's life so far, Annabeth's pretty sure she doesn't want to add potentially bad memories to her friend's current state.]

You'll figure it out. Maybe it'll just come to you one day. But it's still not weird, just so you know.

[fatedchaos]

It is. I kind of miss it. [One day, Annabeth, she will tell you all about being a prisoner in the worst place possible for a goddess of hope.] There's no real stability here.

Not weird, right. [A nod.] I wish this was easier to figure out, though.

[sophos]

Definitely not here either, no. I wish we got more of it. [Speaking generally, ofc. Badlife!sleepover, it's gonna happen tho.]

Sometimes even upfront easy solutions can still be complicated in the end. [She makes a face at how cliche that sounds, but hey, the point still stands.]

[fatedchaos]

I guess all we can do is make our own kind of stability while we can. [Yesssss.]

Such is life and all that good stuff, right?

[sophos]

We can definitely try, at least.

[A faint grin and a nod.] Something like that, yeah.
