"Are you and Harris close?"
"Uh yeah," she looked at him and saw the look in his eyes. It was strange. It was...curiosity? Was it? "I mean depends on what kind of close you are referring to," she said.

After a summer spent trying to prev...
"It'll pay off," Luke snapped. "They'll take the bait. Now, come, we've got to get to the admiralty suite and check on the casket."
Their voices receded down the corridor.
Yes, Luke was in the ship with them. The next day Y/N woke up to the ship's whistle and heard a voice on the intercom-some guy with an Australian accent who sounded way too happy, "Good morning, passengers! We'll be at sea all day today. Excellent weather for the poolside mambo party! Don't forget million-dollar bingo in the Kraken Lounge at one o'clock, and for our special guests, disemboweling practice on the Promenade!"
Once they were all dressed, they ventured out into the ship and were surprised to see other people. But all of their expressions were blank.
The weird thing was: a middle-aged couple was standing in the buffet line right behind a devil dog, patiently waiting their turn for the eggs. They didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary.
That was when they heard two voices talk. And following up the conversation, they heard the familiar voice of someone who betrayed the camp. It was crystal clear to them. They can't go to their quest without hearing what Luke was up to.
Things didn't go so smoothly, ofcourse, as expected. The monsters gathering in a room with Luke, stopped their discussion midway and they got busted. Y/N expected some brutal fight to come their way but that wasn't the case. Luke was dressed different and the conversation that took place...felt personal. It looked like Annabeth, Luke and Thalia had a history.
It was no place to overthink about things but the thoughts that came to her mind immediately watching Annabeth and Luke talk, made her feel about certain things differently. She observed their eyes and there was no doubt that Luke despised Percy but...still wanted Annabeth with him. Whether this was some kind of a weird love triangle or not, she wasn't sure. But what she was sure of was that both of them had common emotions. Both of them were filled with pain, anger and mostly, longing.
Y/N just wished Percy would be as oblivious in the situation as he was during the other times.
Feelings aside, she also was surprised to find logic in what Luke said. She for one, understood how it felt to have your parent ignore you while they're busy with other stuffs - some of which she was pretty sure to be not as important as claiming your own child. Well, she was still a bit mad with her papa.
But the thing is, she isn't so stupid to go on a war because her parent didn't claim her. She didn't want to judge Luke's feelings but destroying so many lives because of getting angry at your father felt plain stupid. She was sure why he was doing this though.
Titan definitely exploited his insecurities and anger, and easily got a hold of him. It didn't matter how much of a dick Luke acted like, and how hard he tried to look emotionless. In the end, he was doing all of this because his feelings were hurt.
