Bursts out laughing when @LovesBlueFood, nearly falling over as well.

Continues sputtering with laughter that is renewed when she sees @LovesBlueFood's face.

Scoffs at @LovesBlueFood. "Yeah, right! You pulled me down, it doesn't count."

"No, it doesn't!" Frowns at @LovesBlueFood, nose wrinkling in irritation.

Pulls a face. "Yeah, well, you look funny all the time." (@LovesBlueFood)

@LovesBlueFood "I hope you're right," Annabeth murmurs, packing away the few things they'd removed from their backpacks the night before. -

@LovesBlueFood - "How d'you know we can trust them?" She casts a glance over her shoulder at the two older kids who wait for them at the -

@LovesBlueFood - entrance to the alley. Frowning, she shoulders her backpack and turns back to Percy.

@LovesBlueFood Annabeth grumbles but follows after her new friend. Even after having known him for less than a day, she knows he can be -

@LovesBlueFood -trusted, at least more than the other "helpful" people she'd encountered after running away from her father and stepfamily.

@LovesBlueFood Thalia glances at the young boy, finally softening enough to sling her backpack off one shoulder to dig out a sandwich-

@LovesBlueFood -she had been saving. Luke, seeing this, leads their little group to a small park he spots so they can sit for a few minutes.

@LovesBlueFood Annabeth smiles gratefully at Percy, offering Thalia and Luke a shy smile by way of thanks. She perches on the bench -

@LovesBlueFood -next to her newfound friend, but hesitates, wanting to wait to make sure the older kids have something to eat as well -

@LovesBlueFood -before taking a bite of the sandwich.
