leo: hey percy, what goes through your mind when you control water?
percy: uh, i don’t know. i don’t really think about it. i just do it. you know?
leo: but like, how do you tell it what to do?
percy: i don’t tell it what to do. it just does what i want. i don’t really think it. i feel it.
leo: so like bluetooth
percy: huh?
leo: you bluetooth connect to the ocean
annabeth, putting her book down: leo, Poseidon himself does not bluetooth connect to the ocean. he embodies the ocean. he is the ocean. when poseidon is calm, the ocean is calm. when poseidon is angry, the ocean is angry. because they are both the ocean in different forms. so being poseidon’s son, the ocean is part of percy. it’s the same as when he moves his arms and legs. it’s like another limb, so he doesn’t have to think about controlling it. that’s why water reacts when he’s scared or angry. it’s his reflexes. water is part of him.
leo: so… like icloud
annabeth: that doesn’t even make sen-
percy: yes
