I sighed, "Why not?"

"As I said so," he replied, shrugging.

"I see. Which alcohol do you prefer?" I asked, slightly curious.

"Why?" he asked back.

I wasn't asking you that just so you could reply me back with a question!

"Curious," I replied, and added, "so?"

He shook his head, "Maybe I'll tell you one day."

"But not now?"

"Na."

"Alright. How does a god and a human have a child?" I asked, my mind wondering into that topic.

"How does normal humans have child? The same way." he replied.

"But they are gods!"

"Yeah, you-"

"Me, what? I mean come on! Which you mentioned Greek - and gods, so Ancient Greek Gods? They are dead! They are myths! Not even ever alive - how can you believe in such things?" I asked him, he must be crazy!

He looked at me in the eyes, "Beatrice, Roman Gods, Greek Gods and a bunch of other gods exists. And about me being crazy? I'm son of Mars, Roman God of War."

"If he's your father, have you ever seen him?" I asked, confusedly. 

"Yes, once, in a quest." he replied.

"Once? Why won't he visit you more?" I inquired. 

"He's a god! He's busy, of course." he explained.

"That isn't even a proper answer!" I insisted.

He shrugged. "Which parent don't you have?"

"Huh?" I spoke.

"You have only one parent that you met, right?" he asked.

"Uh-" I frowned.

Should I tell him that I got none right now? Why was I hesitating?

"Okay, so we, at camp, have an activities director called Chiron. He wants to meet you."

"How'd he know about me?" I asked.

"Uh, he just knows-"

I nodded, "Not a perfect answer, but be grateful I'm sparing you to explain further."

He sighed. 

He probably is annoyed by me. I mean, I'm amazing at annoying people! I pride myself on that. :D

"Wait - hold a sec - an activities director?" I asked suddenly.

"Yeah," answered me.

"Why do you need an activities director - aren't you guys old enough?" I interrogated.

He sighed and dodged my question by saying, "Go in, Chiron will meet you and explain everything to you."

"But my question-"

"Later, or ask him."

"Fine...."
