Things that have not changed with the new characters:

Travis is The Big Guy.
Marisha should maybe leave the social encounters to somebody else (but almost certainly won’t).
Laura is adorable and has some kind of trouble with her dad.
Liam wants to protect the lady he’s traveling with and exudes a quiet sadness.
Sam is a tiny bundle of vices who you will probably nevertheless grow to love.
Ashley can probably throw a truck at you.
Taliesin is a sarcastic bastard who’s never heard of dialing it down a notch.

Percy: I will never hurt her. I will never hurt anybody intentionally, especially not you, any more than I already have. In return, I ask: never take your eyes off me. Never trust me. And that is the best friend that you can be.
Vax: I will recommit to that same promise I made
Percy: You can like me. I would love that. And in fact, I hope that I can earn your like
Vax, with feeling: I do like you
Percy: I just never want to earn your trust
Vax: Well, then it’s your lucky day

Vax: I’ve been really angry at you
Percy: I’ve been encouraging it
Vax: I don’t know if it’s entirely fair, but I can’t shake it. I don’t know that I’m willing to let go of it yet
Percy: Good. I certainly do not deserve it yet. I don’t know if I ever will.
