It has been about three years since. I want to remember the good things about my sons.
( —but, perhaps unsurprisingly, this kind of conversation wears her out emotionally. )
We can probably talk about all that some other time. The person who helped me with tending the animals in the barn is not here anymore. I've got to go feed them now.
Well, any time you wanna tell me good things about your kids, I’d like to hear about them.
[ Obviously it’s up to her when and if she even does, and he’d be happy to hear about it. He wonders if maybe his mom goes around talking about him the same way too sometimes. Good things, happy things — the stuff that don’t involve monsters and gods and how many times Percy had come close to dying. ]
We can talk later, I hope.
[ You know, if this conversation didn’t like ... totally weird her out and change her mind about him in the end. ]
