"Ah….that was an accident."
"And that time you turned Odysseus ship around just because you heard someone cried out for help?"
"One, that was Mera calling out for help, you know, your grand daughter. And two, what was I supposed to do? Just let her die? I can't just not help someone is they ask for it."
Poseidon smirked, "you have the soul of a hero Percy, so no, I don't expect you to not save people. It's who you are, and your mother and I know this. But please, please be more careful from now on, okay?"
Percy smiled as they arrived at the beach, "you know I can't make that promise dad."
Poseidon sighed, "well at least I tried. Oh, and one more thing," Poseidon then suddenly swung his trident sideways smashing into Percy sending him into the sea.

Percy groaned as he pulled himself out of the water slowly getting on his feet, "what the hell was that for?!"
"For fighting a Great Old One," Poseidon replied simply, "I had to punish you somehow."
"But hitting me with the weapon that can fight Titans?!"
Poseidon shrugged, "I knew you could handle it. Plus I didn't' hit you that hard."
"You caused nearly 2,000 points of damage!"
"I'm sure you have more," Poseidon smirked.
"Asshole!" Percy yelled as he swiped his hand sending a blast of ice at his father.
"That's my time, bye!" Poseidon said as he vanished in a flash of light just as several thick icicles implode the spot he was on.
Percy grumbled as he got out of the ocean drying himself, "stupid Poseidon, stupid trident."
"You know you really should be more grateful. My dad rarely comes to see me," a voice called out.
Percy looked up to see Thalia near the tree line without her jacket on. Percy could see the sweat on the girl's face and body, she had been training again.
"Do you ever take time off training?" Percy asked as he approached Thalia. They were around the same height now.
"I can't afford to," Thalia said turning her spear into a can of mace which she then pocketed away, "not everyone can be as naturally powerful as you."
"You mean naturally handsome, I train for my strength, my good looks however is all natural," Percy joked grinning.
Thalia rolled her eyes, "boys. All the same."
Percy chuckled, "so, had dinner?"
Thalia shook her head, "no…..I was out training again."
Percy nodded, "I see...well let's get you something to eat then."
"You have more food stored up?!" Thalia asked in wonder.
Percy chuckled, "yup. Enough to last a normal person 2 years. But in my case that will probably mean a few months at best."
Thalia nodded as the two sat down in the sand. Percy opened his inventory and pulled out two large plates filled with buffalo wings and three large sweetened apple peach soft drinks.
"Holy shit, where did you even get all these?!" Thalia asked in surprise and wonder.
"From the Lotus casino, they had this huge ever expanding buffe. I really want to go back soon just for the all you can eat extravaganza."
Thalia raised her eyebrow, "really? You would risk your life for food?"
Percy shrugged as he took a bite of his buffalo wing, "you would be surprised what some people would do for food. Plus it's really good food."
Thalia nodded as she dipped her wings in the sauce that was given with the platter and took a bite out of it, "damn this is good!"
Percy smiled, "told you so."
Thalia nodded as the two began to eat and drink in silence. Soon Thalia spoke up, "so ah...what's your favorite food?"
Percy chuckled, "are you seriously trying to make small talk?"
Thalia huffed, "fine, don't answer."
Percy smiled, "kidding. And to answer your question it's simple, I like all food that is blue."
Thalia raised an eyebrow, "ah, what do you mean?"
"Oh, right. Well my mom had an argument with her ex-husband, a shit stain called Gabe. He told her blue food doesn't exist and she got pissed. So she kind of just added natural blue dye or blueberries to everything in an attempt to piss him off."
Thalia looked amazed, "woah. Your mom sounds awesome."
Percy smiled as he laid back looking at the sea, "yeah. She is. One time, during my 11th birthday party, she made everything blue. Blue cake, blue candles, blue waffles, blue soda, blue forsting, blue cookies, you name it, she had made it."
"Wait, why did you have waffles at your birthday party?"
"Who doesn't like waffles?" Percy asked.
Thalia nodded, "true…."
"So...what about your mom?" Percy asked turning to Thalia.
A shot of pain traveled through her eyes, "right...my mom."
"I'm sorry if I struck a nerve or something. I didn't mean to. Ah, I was just curious and-"
"-No," Thalia sighed, "it's not your fault. My mom and I haven't really had…..the best parental-child relationship and considering my dad and I have no relationship that's not saying something."
Percy nodded, "I get it. Some demigods get two assholes for parents. Little Percy had both his aunt and uncle mistreat him. John's mom basically abandoned him. I suppose sucky parents are just part of the deal when it comes to demigods."
Thalia snorts, "and look at you. Both parents are amazing. Mom's a master cook who sounds like a caring person. And your dad actually visits you."
