—Percy is 25 and Trin is 18 now so they’re seven years apart

—Percy met Trin when he was 19ish and they were 12ish

—They were “together” for about a year before Hester was killed

—[Trin would’ve been 14-15 and Percy 22-23]

—I say “together” because Percy was way more into it than Trin was and Trin had a problem saying no to stuff

—sure it was nice to have non-assassin company but Percy was....Percy:  hot-tempered, egotistical, always blaming other people, always fighting with Oliver, caught up in himself and his needs

—The day the KGA imploded, the Nine all ran away because they knew that lots of different groups would try to take Hester’s throne and they didn’t want to get caught up in it

—but some people wanted them to stay as allies bc of their skill and were willing to use force.

—Bex was injured trying to get away and Trin panicked and went to Percy for help

—not because Percy was helpful but because he was a book hoarder

—Trin reorganised books in his tower so many times that they knew where the healing spells were

—so Bex and Trin make it to Percy’s tower and Percy is in three different moods at once but Trin can’t focus on whatever bullshit he’s dealing with so they shove him away and focus on Bex

—Percy eventually realises the weight of the situation and backs off.

—Once Bex is mostly healed, they fall asleep on a couch and Trin decides it’s not worth trying to go anywhere else at the moment

—Percy is gentle with something for once and asks what happened and Trin explains and gets upset

—Percy comforts them and they’re thinking “huh, maybe he’s not so bad after all”

—however

—later that night he suggests Something and Trin doesn’t say yes but doesn’t say no either; Percy takes the absence of a no as a yes and Stuff Happens

—whenever Percy falls asleep, Trin wakes up Bex and the twins leave

—Trin won’t tell Bex what’s wrong and doesn’t for a long time

—they don’t tell anyone other than bex at a later point except Micah, because he had a similar experience and Trin feels that Micah’s an ok person to confide in

—and yeah

—Percy wakes up to find Bex, Trin, and his spellbook on tracking spells gone

—Trin took the book so they could no how to block any spell Percy might use to find them

—Percy’s been looking for Trin and Trin has been blocking his locator spells ever since
