Feb. 26th, 2017 02:40 pm[He waits until evening before he goes to find Percy. He figures Percy has enough on his hands--by rights, he should leave this until later to allow Percy time to recover, but they just no longer have time. They don't have time for anything.
That's why he has to talk to Percy in the first place.
He takes a cursory glance around the town, but it's not surprising that Percy isn't there. It's also not surprising that Constantine leads Barnham unerringly to the lake, and it's not surprising that there's the form of a boy who has endured too much sitting there.
... He doesn't like the thought of how much more Percy is going to have to endure before the end.
(But Percy deserves to know. Of all of the people here... well, Percy convinced him when he spoke to wanting to be allowed to execute Will. Percy wants to take control of his own life again.
Well.
This is the first step towards that.)]
Percy Jackson.
[Barnham doesn't really hesitate; he sits down next to Percy on the ground, unbothered by it. Constantine sits next to him, quiet and relatively solemn, for a dog.]
... I wish to inquire as to your mental state, before I go any further.
[He's worried, of course, about Percy. But this is bigger than just Percy, and bigger than just Barnham. This is everyone--and that's why he has to know this before he goes any further with this conversation.
A lot, he thinks, has been leading up to this.]
