[ Voice a little muffled, he does manage a huff of laughter, and it eases the last of the tension in his shoulders.
He feels like he can breathe properly again. ]
Okay, yeah. I guess you do.
[ Wrapped in each other's embrace, Percy kind of wants to stay in this moment for as long as this world will let them because with all of the unfamiliarities (seriously, even the stars and the sky are weird and unrecognizable) surrounding them, this feels safe and certain. It's something he can draw strength from. Anything could happen (but like, lets not jinx that please) but he knows he could weather it now that Annabeth's here too.
A moment later, and Percy feels the need to bring a little levity to the situation, happy to leave his own residual trauma regarding Tartarus behind. He knows he doesn't need to, certainly not with Annabeth who is literally the only other person aside from himself who could really understand what he'd gone through, but it's reflex by now. ]
