Person: @brightclara Location: ze clinic, clara's office where he can be at the corkboard They kind of sort of win that fucking thing and he tells everyone that he doesn't need anything to forget about it, fully knowing he has a drawer full of pills at home that'll do the job. He doesn't even go home, he goes from Camp Halfblood to her. The woman who he'd managed to drag himself to in the end of days after exhausting himself. It'd felt somewhat poetic then, coming to what was practically the Patron Saint of Halfbloods in his final hours. This time it's different though, he's not there to die or tell her what's going on, Kay is there for a solution. Because he doesn't want to die and arguably, that is the easy part. Living against all odds, his own tendencies, that is so much harder. "Okay so it's a fucking Keres. What the fuck does it want and how do I get rid of it?" The office felt so fucking cold but that was probably just him. They don't have a war in the way this time, he is faced with his own problems. Does he feel bad taking her and everyone along for the ride? Absolutely, but he doesn't think either of them want a repeat of him dying on her.
