Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH75: That's Impossible

(Percy)

As I relocated us to my chamber at Orthrys I was beginning to think Perseus was truly insane.

'Are you just trying to get us killed now?' I shot at him angrily.

'Come on don't be like that it was fun, besides you're the one who started making out right in front of him.' He defended jokingly.

'Doesn't mean you had to take it a step further and essentially tell the already pissed off god to go fuck himself.'

'Please, what exactly can he do but chat a load of hot air?' He said laughing at his own pun.

'That is not the point, as we learned from the first one getting hit still hurts like hell and we still are not healed from that. I am not going to be able to fly for weeks as it is. Lelantos took six weeks and he only had two damaged. Besides I don't want to spend the rest of time looking over my shoulder in case our future father in law decides now is time to get rid of that annoying pain in his ass.'

'More like pain in his nose, am I right?' He asked happily causing me to mentally growl in anger.

'You know what I don't care, I am just going to ignore you from now on. There must be a mute button somewhere to you.'

'Fine you're no fun sometimes, oh by the way you're ignoring her again.' He said before going silent and I realized I did become completely oblivious of the world around me whenever I started having these mental debates.

'You really need to work on your attention span.' Artemis said glaring at me as I refocused on her.

'Sorry I was busy dealing with him and how annoying he can be.' I explained causing her to raise an eyebrow.

'Why what did he do?' She asked curiously.

'Gave your father the bird while we were making out.' I explained simply causing her to slap the back of my head.

'Ow-what was that for?' I asked rubbing the spot.

'Well I can't exactly hit him for being an idiot. Perseus if you take control again while we are doing anything together, I will find a way to forcibly separate the pair of you. At the moment you are an annoyance to everyone around you and I don't like annoyances.' Artemis threatened coldly looking into my eyes and I wanted to turn away and I was not even the target of the threat.

'Fine.' He said simply with a huff of disappointment before going silent.

'I think he got the message.' I told the goddess and she seemingly calmed down seemingly losing the intensity in her eyes.

'So how come you brought us here anyway what is wrong with the hunt?' She explained gesturing with an arm signifying my lounge area.

'First I wanted to show you how to decorate a room properly. These are called decorations you put them here to make it look ni-Ow.' I complained as she once again slapped the back of my head.

'Very funny smartass.'

'Fine I thought we could spend a little time together away from the hunters, they are not expecting you back until later and I don't believe most of them probably care I am missing, besides Nemea is still there anyway.'

'Oh good I almost thought you wanted to tell the Titan's straight away.' Artemis explained with a sigh of relief.

'Not in the state I am in. one sentence out of Theia's mouth would be enough to finish me off. Besides I don't want to deal with our grandmother.' I told her with a shudder.

'Remember both of my grandmothers are part of your council.' She corrected.

'Yeah but Phoebe and Koios are cool. Rhea just has that annoying disapproving glare. Besides I don't think they will find it that big a deal I don't exactly follow standard Titan conventions.'
