[ mako barely understands the demigod schtick as it is, and when an explanation like that is given... sometimes, it's better to just work at a solution, and then worry about why things happen the way they do later. ]
Yeah, I've noticed that. [ a little pause, as mako tries to consider the solutions more. ] And... your god makes you good at stealing, right?
My dad — [ luke's voice is hard on the one word he dislikes, but it's the lesser of two evils. hermes is not his god. hermes will never be his god. hermes is merely a man who is a shit stain on the world — and that's putting it simply. ] — is the god of thieves.
[ so, basically, yes. luke can hear the implication in his voice. no one asks him this question unless they wish to accuse him of something going missing or want him to make something go missing. ] Why?
We need to get her, and that Silmaril, out of the castle, before the Unseelie get too close. [ a small, brief pause. and here's where he goes into diplomatic cop, looking away for the right reasons at certain times, ] I'd understand if you don't want to get involved, considering your... concerns. But any information you have to help us achieve either is appreciated.
[ he's not going to insult you by asking you to make something disappear, dude. but if you'd like to volunteer... ]
You didn't hear me when I said Ares kids are as dense as they are stubborn, huh? [ no matter what luke says, clarisse will never hear reason. she'll take it as though she's being doubted, going further to be louder and bolder and stupider toward whoever it is that owns this silmaril. ]
[ luke can read between the lines just fine, and he doesn't like what he spies written in ancient greek. he ignores it for now, not liking the implication he's going to be asked to get in further shit with a girl he doesn't particularly want chasing after him again. ] She has four dogs with her at all times. I really doubt some guy is going to get by her without being mauled to kingdom come.
