And let’s be real, this is how the Perc’ahlia break up went.

• Someone panicked in the morning, argument ensued, emotionally constipated people decide to split up, maybe
• Percy moodily moves back into the castle, Cassandra is very concerned
• He mopes off into his workshop
• Vex goes hunting to blow off some steam
• Vex comes back to blow off some more steam in the form of break up sex
• They traumatize a few choice members of the castle staff by leaving the door open
• They also realize they’re being dumb and stop
• Percy moves back into Vex’s house by sunset. Cassandra is mildly annoyed.
