"What do you mean the car broke down?!"
"Are you really confused? Because I thought I was pretty straight forward."
"Why were you looking at maps then?!"
"Looking for the shortest route to walk."
They waited for night to fall as to not get heatstroke, then off they walked.. They kinda just left their truck on the side of the road so, very cool.
"Do you have any idea how much longer this'll take?"
"Thou really needs to calm down."
"How am I supposed to calm down when Percy-"
"Because thou are not Percy."
"I'm uh.. Not following here chief."
"Thou are Thalia Grace," Zoë stated to Thalia, before she turned to Silena, "And thou are Silena Kyle-"
"Silena Beauregard, actually."
"Whichever. The point is-"
"Isn't Silena Kyle; Cat-woman?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"That is not the poi-"
"Should I be flattered or insulted?"
"I'd be insulted, but I think you'd be flattered."
"That does not matter! My meaning is that neither of you are 'Percy and'. Thou are not Percy and Thalia. Thou are not Percy and Silena. You were both people before you met Jackson; why are the both of you both so entangled within his grasp now?"
"Well.."
"That's-It's like-Well-"
"What makes Perseus Jackson so special, while other males have failed to enthrall you?"
"I wouldn't say I'm 'enthralled' per se.."
"Oh no, I'm definitely enthralled."
"Why though?"
"It's hard to put into words, but.. It's like, when you're with Percy, you know you're; safe? I dunno if that's the right word, comfortable maybe? It's just-"
"Like he is your home, even if you were a million miles away from thous house?" Zoë finished, an odd flash coming into her eyes, which Thalia was torn between. She saw sadness, but nostalgia, anger and regret all rolled into one.
"Uh, not the metaphor I would have gone with, definitely more heartwarming then I'm used to from you, but yeah. Got the.. General gist of it down."
"You, uh, alright there ZoZo?"
Instead of answering, Zoë just said, "He will disappoint thou, eventually."
