““outcast!” When he’d disappeared into the bushes, Juniper wiped her eyes. “I’m sorry, Percy. I didn’t mean to get you involved. Leneus is still a lord of the Wild. You don’t want to make an enemy of him.” “No problem,” I said. “I’ve got worse enemies than overweight satyrs.” Nico walked back to us. “Good job, Percy.
