Plan 4 → [video] & [action]
[ Annabeth doesn't usually cry as a rule. Demigods don't have easy lives and most emotions can be rationalised away with the motivation of 'getting on with things'. But for some reason, this time whenever she thinks she's stopped crying somehow more tears come. It's not just that he's gone... it's also what he's gone back to.

She sits and stares at the jellies outside the bubble until she's sure she can make this video post without crying. Drawing her coat more tightly around her - Hades, it's cold lately! - she shivers and turns on her SFC for the first time since Percy had left. ]
So, I don't know how many of you knew Percy Jackson, my boyfriend, but he's gone. Just thought I'd do the courteous thing and let everyone know. [ She wipes quickly at one eye but manages to hold off tears. ]
[ooc: This is a network and action post! Feel free to respond either by SFC or with awkward cuddle curse actions out by the jellies. ]

"Did you just..." But Leo doesn't seem to be hiding anything. He looks almost as down and out as she feels. Still, that was weird. She nudges him again and lo and behold, she feels the same warmth. "Do you feel that?"

[action]
Annabeth wants to shrink away when Leo puts an arm around her. Part of her feels like this would be Percy's job, and part also just doesn't want to be touched right now. But when warmth floods through her for the first time in a day she reasons with herself and accepts the embrace. There was no point going cold and Leo was one of her closer friends. Like a little brother really.
Gratefully, she nudges in closer to him and almost sighs with how warm she suddenly becomes. "Thanks. Seriously, thanks, this feels so much better."
[action]
And Annabeth was like a sister to him. There was no way he was gonna let her get so cold that she gets sick or anything. Plus, it would help keep him warm, too. And there was also the fact that Percy was gone and this probably offered some sort of comfort to her knowing that she's still got people who care about her here.
"Yeah, no problem. You can hit me up for warmth any time you want this week."
[action]
She curls in a bit closer and gets comfy, wrapping her arm around Leo's waist. What a stupid curse, especially when her boyfriend has just been taken away. She probably would have barely noticed it if Percy had still been here. She tries not to let that bother her since Leo's trying his best to make her feel better.

Leo settles in and looks up at the jellyfish. He hadn't even bothered to look at the view when he got here, he was more concerned for his friend than the marine life. But now that he was looking at it, it was really cool.
