Hey, this is Annabeth Chase. Leave me a message and I'll return it as soon as I can. Assuming these things even take messages...

[ thalia was hardly looking forward to the conversation either, but, well,.. things needed to be sorted out. ]

Yeah, trust me when I say this is never a conversation I thought we'd have. So.. [ how do you even start a conversation like this? ] He's alive. What do you think we should do?

[wisestcamper]

Do?

[Annabeth just sort of hesitates.]

...Be happy?

[astrapi]

That's it? [ there's an edge of uncertainty in thalia's voice. ] After everything that happened back home?

[wisestcamper]

I...[Annabeth is quiet for a long time.] You weren't there, at the end. Luke was himself again. He stopped Kronos.

Maybe this is his second chance.

[astrapi]

So we should forgive him because its his second chance. [ the response came out rougher than she intended. Annabeth always had a soft spot for Luke and Thalia respected that. She would have been there at the end if it wasn't for that stupid Hera statue, but she doesn't say that aloud. ]

How many lives did he cost back home, Annabeth? Are we sure hes the same guy?

[wisestcamper]

...I know.

[Annabeth is quiet again, trying to work through her thoughts.]

But what else can we do, Thalia? We either be happy he is here, or...what? We fight him? We punish him?

I don't think I can do that again.

[astrapi]

[ Thalia remains quiet for a time. She knew Annabeth was right, but everything Luke did still stung. It was all much more easier said than done. ]

No, no, it'd hurt him if we did that. [ her voice sounds hallows as she speaks persuading her to clear her throat. ] You know more about what he did than I do..., do you think he'd still do them.
