[ oh! is that like a weird kind of half smile percy is indulging him with? yes. because like, nothing makes u bond more than being stuck in a fucking weird multicolor-possibly-alive-and-sentient world that may or may not want to kill you.

vax will! also move a piece. it is not a bad move, actually? wow. this continues for a few minutes. it's almost like he knows what he's doing. what is happening. ]
[ not derogatory, more curious than anything. percy eyes the first few moves vax makes, though he moves his own pieces with confidence in turn. he's doing what he does best--scanning for mistakes, for moves made in error, but he can't seem to find a single opening that vax's brain may have left him.
