Book: The Heroes Of Olympus. The House Of Hades

- You promised me, Fish brains! We never separate! Never!
- You're impossible!
- I love you too!

Despite the happy reunion, everyone was quieter than usual, though they were influenced by the depression Leo. Jason never thought how much, it turns out, meant a sense of humour Leo for the mood of the whole team. Even in the most difficult situations they could always count on Leo can at least a little to defuse the situation. Now over the whole crew hangs like a gloomy cloud.

... I am the son of Hades, Jason. I might as well fumarates in blood or sewage, the attitude towards me will not change. I'm a stranger, always and everywhere. I'm not even from this century. But even that was not enough to separate me from everyone else. Everything else I have... more...

- ... I think we all periodically need to get someone, we are loving, we are called to Wake up.
Near her was so great that Jason could almost imagine their future together in Camp half-blood.

She stood up on tiptoes and kissed him, which felt comparable to the ambrosia. Her eyes were a mixture of shades so much that Jason could spend the whole day staring at them, studying the ever-changing patterns, just like the people admiring the Northern lights.
- As I was lucky to have you. he said.

I am the daughter of Athena, thought Annabeth. My mind obeys only me!

He learned how dangerous it could be vows. But Leo didn't care.
I'll come back for you, Calypso, ' he said to the night wind. - I swear on the river Styx.

Calypso clenched her hands on his face and, pulling and kissed her, which immediately shut him up.
Despite all the jokes and the insults, Leo has never kissed a girl. Well, sisterly kisses on the cheek from Piper doesn't count. It was a kiss on the lips. Whether in the brain Leo gears and wires, it would definitely have short-circuited.

The raft finally arrived. - said Leo.
Calypso snorted. I think her eyes are red, but in the moonlight it was difficult to say for sure.
- Just noticed?
But it appears only when the guys that you like...
- Don't push your luck, Leo Valdez, ' said she. - I still hate you.

They worked side by side with remarkable consistency. With any of the children of Hephaestus, Leo was not able to establish such an intuitive contact, as with this immortal gorodnitsa.

- ... And what can I do now while my hands are dirty?
She waved blurred and covered with blistered fingers. In the head of Leo flashed, unbidden, came the thought that there are girls more attractive than one that is not afraid to get my hands dirty. But of course it was a theoretical proposition. It had nothing to do with Calypso. In any case.

Gods, Annabeth is really something. For a second Percy even remembered what it was like to be happy. He has a terrific girlfriend. And they may be the future.

Annabeth's fingers slid between his and squeezed his hand. In the light of the bronze sword, her face was beautiful.
- We together, ' she reminded him. - We shall overcome.
But recently he tried so hard to maintain her morale, and now what is she trying to cheer him up!
"Yeah," he answered. Before you know it.
But next time, 'she said,' I want to go out somewhere else.

Percy wondered how Nico was able to survive and not go crazy. This guy was obviously much stronger than Percy used to think about it. The farther they went, the harder it became to stay alert.
