"You've reached Piper. I'm not here right now, sorry."

I'm imagining you in a dress. [That's not a lie, okok.] I bet you look really pretty, though. Even if it's a funny idea.

Hey, not that I like her advice all the time, but sometimes... She's not so bad. [There are worse parents, Piper thinks.] You're working yourself up over nothing. Go out, have fun on your fancy investigation over fish. Be you.

[huffpuff.] I'm already wearing it. But it's not the first time.

[She just... lets go of the Aphrodite bit for now, because she is not in the mood to talk about the goddess of love and beauty rn. But she sighs. Piper's right, and she knows it; maybe she just needed to hear someone else say it.] Maybe I'll get lucky and a fight will break out. [It's only half joking.]

Hey, do you want me to follow you guys and charmspeak a few people into fighting for you? [Piper knows that once Annabeth gets there and sees what's happening, she'll be fine. But she'll still do this for her friend.]

Tempting. Really tempting. [She sighs again, and it turns into a groan.] I should go find - shoes or something.

I'd say send me an IM if you want it, but I'm guessing that I'll probably not incite any riots tonight. [A beat.] Wear something sensible. You know, just in case.

[There's a pause, while she thinks.] I have old comfy sandals. From a masquerade here. [She's like 90% sure they're in her closet. Somewhere.]

Those would work perfectly. [She guesses. Right???]

[Even the uncertain confirmation halps!!! PIPER HERSELF IS A GREAT HALP.] I should go look.

[A pause.] Um. Thanks. [For you know being a reassurance and calming her above anything else.]

I'm here for you anytime, Annabeth. You know that.

[There's a smile in her tone.] Yeah, I do. Thank you. [Decidedly less awkward gratitude this time around.]
