“Do you have a favorite constellation, Percy?'
          I was still kind of wondering about the little green snakes he'd shoved into his jogging shorts, but i said. 'Uh, I like Hercules.'
          'Why?'
          'Well... because he had rotten luck. Even worse than mine. It makes me feel better."
          The jogger chuckled. 'Not because he was strong and famous and all that?'
          'No.”

“Hey, can I see that sword you were using?"
          I showed him Riptide, and explained how it turned from a pen into a sword just by uncapping it.
          "Cool! Does it ever run out of ink?"
          "Um, well, I don't actually write with it."
          "Are you really the son of Poseidon?"
          "Well, yeah."
          "Can you surf really well, then?"
          I looked at Grover, who was trying hard not to laugh.
          "Jeez, Nico," I said. "I've never really tried."
          He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (I didn't answer that one.) If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (I tried not to strangle Nico for asking that one.) Was Annabeth my girlfriend? (At this point, I was ready to stick the kid in a meat-flavored sack and throw him to the wolves.)”
