[ with percy gone, clarisse needs an extra member to fill out her team. it just so happens that kaldur also has water abilities, but that's not entirely the reason he comes to mind (though it does come to mind eventually, and somewhat coincidentally). the heart of the reason is kaldur was there during the battle for the silmaril, fighting alongside her even if they weren't actually fighting literally alongside each other. clarisse had been so focused on celegorm then that she'd hardly paid much attention to anything else happening on the battlefield. ]
[ but it's the show of faith, the support for a trivial and meaningless war that could have been handled diplomatically if she hadn't still been trying to impress her father — be her father — that earns kaldur a position on her list of who she wants on her team. he'd been there for her once before, so it's now that she calls upon him again (though she hadn't technically called upon anyone before the battle for the silmaril). they've got to make up for the lack of kicking reynard's ass together, anyway. ]
Kaldur. It's Clarisse. Think we could talk in person? It's important.
