𝓨ou speak of justice like it is a shield that will protect you. But justice is nothing more than a word people hide behind when they are afraid to admit they chose violence.

/ alec has ptsd he has been stuck in survival mode for so long that his body is unable to fully relax because of how he had to fight tooth and nail till he got to the chb
@ofwildflcwers i don't sleep much. ( he mumbled, it was almost inaudible. the years of struggle with his sleep ... he had been stuck in survival mode, for as long as he could remember. )
oh, i'm sure. ( he responded, smiling a little. eyes flickered down to the other. he had seen her on her feet all day, busy with one thing or another. so, he wasn't surprised how exhausted she was. )
she's started a little more awake for a moment when she's lifted up, but feeling the familiarity of him she's already wrapping her arms around him. too tired to completely protest being carried.
"i could've made it home, alec." she says as her head rests against his chest.
@ofwildflcwers mhm.
( he responded, not wanting to start a conversation ; it could wake her up. she deserved rest, after such a long and tiring day. alec was close by, witnessing all of it. ) *
/ so alec remained unclaimed for a very long time making him resentful of ares :,)
it also make easier for luke to gaslight him bc he had spent so long in hermes cabin
therefore #titanarmy
