Take me to another place where clarity is found

WHO: Gansey and Annabeth Chase
WHERE: Over text and in De Chima
WHEN: The week during which Ronan is gone.
WHAT: Gansey has been isolating himself and Annabeth wants to make sure he’s okay (he’s not)
WARNINGS: Cur...sing? Maybe?



It hasn’t been a pleasant few days for Richard Gansey.

His best friend Ronan Lynch has been ported out, confirmed by Ronan’s sleeping dream-brother and sleeping dream-farm. Noah has been mourning on his own. Adam is trying to hold it together, insisting he’s fine to the point of driving Gansey away, his temper with a shorter fuse than usual.

And so that left Gansey all on his own, wandering the property for full days and not bothering looking at his phone at night, missing the near nightly late evening texts he would send Annabeth. He’s far too distracted and inside his own head to think to message her.

Annabeth doesn't really know what's going on. Whether it's because it hasn't been explained, or she hasn't picked up the pieces, or something else- it's a dense, dark little thing that exists somewhere in this place that has become her life in De Chima.

Because sure - every since Percy has arrived, she's slept better at night. Hasn't keep kept, staring at the ceiling, wondering how much longer this would take. Though, of course, that had led to Gansey. To their late night conversations. They still share them - her sleeping patterns have always been fairly irregular, and too much sleep felt worse than none at all, some days - but over the last few days? Nothing.

She knows something is wrong, which is why she sends the text now - with no real need to check the time for the reasoning behind it.

Where are you?
