I blinked, then considered this. "Well...I suppose it would kinda be like punching a rock.", I said, humming in thought before smiling again. "Alright then. Let's go throw acid in her face.", I compromised.

My eyebrow twitched. "That's not what I was talking--", I began incredulously, then took a breath and calmed myself. "You know what? Nevermind. I don't wanna deal with this round about questioning right now.", I decided, spinning on my heel and continuing on our way. "You know what's...

"Well, either I don't know you at all, or you're not sure if I even love you. Pick a side and stick to it, Princess.", I said coolly, crossing my arms and gazing expectantly at her.

"We literally just met an hour ago.", I deadpanned.

I deftly turned the obviously-delusional girl's dagger into a bouquet of flowers and gathered the residual energy from the first Earthborn, channeling it to my feet to fling myself at the second. "Well cut it out!", I shouted, plunging a conjured sword into its forehead and backflipping off its...

"So if you're apparently helping Gaea, why is she sending monsters to attack you?", I asked her incredulously, stomping my foot. Spikes of ice shot up from the ground and impaled one of the monsters.

I stared at her oddly for a moment, then found my voice. "Let me get this straight. You're helping the enemy we just set out to stop because she said she'd get your dad back, who you hate, oh and by the way you're a child of Athena but Athena isn't your mom.", I stated flatly, "That about right?".

"I'm sorry, you're what the who now?!", I spluttered in shock. She was...she was helping...oh, di immortales, I needed to sit down...

"Hrm.", I grumbled, resuming walking, "So either Persephone is hiding in the Underworld and Demeter is grieving, which is stupid because in the Underworld they're literally surrounded by Gaea, or Gaea is just overpowering Demeter's power.". I sighed and admitted, "Neither thought is comforting.".

"Hm? Oh, nothing. It's just that these leaves are really pretty.", I said with a smile, gesturing to the fall-colored leaves surrounding u- "Wait a minute.". I stopped, glaring around suspiciously at the yellows and browns, "It's the end of summer. Not even September yet. Why are the leaves...

"Oh darn. Guess he's stuck there then...", I said, putting on a dismayed look. Then I looked up and spotted a leaf fluttering through the air. "Ooh, leaf...", I muttered.

I put on a sad look and apologized, "Oh, sorry. I forgot. Well, I'm sure he wouldn't mind waiting while we take care of this quest. Which monster was it again?".

I blinked and said, very calmly, "Oh.". Then I grinned and laughed a bit, saying, "Well, you're just a font of new experiences. I've never felt this level of extreme bloodlust before.". Giving her an easy smile, I asked serenely, "What did you say your dad's address was again? I wanna...show...

...Aaaand now I felt like a whiny little jerk. I just couldn't win with this girl! "I, uhm...well, at least he can't push you around anymore.", I tried.

How...bipolar. I smiled back and admitted, "Well, it's just... I've never really been part of a group before. I helped hapless little demigods to camp and that's it. Done. Next job.". My smile turned sheepish as I said, "I guess I just don't know how to act around people. Most of my experience...

Oh COME ON! "Nothing. Did I do something that made you think I did?", I asked, trying to figure this girl out. Maybe the Gods had given her a gift...?

I blinked. That was scarily specific, and I didn't remember Athena's children being able to read minds... I bit my lip and refrained from glancing over at her curiously.

"B-But we can if you want.", I placated hurriedly, not wanting to offend her should she have something wrong with continuing. For all I knew, she had a curse or something on her. Or maybe just a blister...

I blinked in confusion. "But we've only been walking for like ten minutes.", I pointed out, looking around, "We're barely outside of camp.".
