Percy Jackson: I lost your pen-sword thingy. Hopefully, that wasn’t your only one.
Chiron: Check your pocket.
Percy Jackson: No, I’ve–I lost it the other night, on the hill.
Chiron: Check your pocket. Unless you surrender it, it will always find its way back to you. Magical objects don’t obey the physical laws of the ordinary world.
