[ it's probably theeeee afternoon when there is a knock outside metallic and something left at the door. the sound of footsteps walking away and the general wave of both anxiety and delight sort of flutter around the vicinity even when percy is gone, an after image.
on the ground, wrapped in simple linen is... a hairpin. it is not sharp, but it's long and thin enough to carefully wind through long hair. at the decorative end, there are a few, carefully shaped in metal, flowers in the shape of forget-me-nots.
at the center of the largest one is a small amber stone that provides small waves of calmness (but does not produce warmth). ]
[imagine if roxana or malik found this and assumed it was for them lmao
but no, she's the one who finds it. if percy is still close enough to feel it, he'll pick up on traces of confusion and then delight as she sees the hairpin and recognizes the flowers - and then determination.
forget-me-nots... that works fine for her. jiuqing never wants to forget him again, and she'll wear it regularly as a reminder.]
