John takes care of people - Percy was at the least astute enough to see that. Percy was interested in a lot of the same entertainments as John if not as well read due to circumstance of birth. I think John liked the idea of sharing his world with Percy and saw the unused intellect waiting to be fed. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Oleander 's message, "I wonder, was part of John's "love" for Percy due to his weakness? A desire to take care of a teach him? John enjoyed showing off his strength and superior skill, drawing Percy into the military life and tutoring him. Maybe a part of the attraction was because Percy was weaker than he. Could John ever really love someone inherently weaker than he- in the long run, would he not always desire an equal, that brotherhood he feels he shares with jaime which attracts him?" on 12:40:42 10/18/07 Thu
