Annabeth was following the Mark of Athena, that much she knew. she was never shown the details of her quest, not in her dreams or through Prophecy. she knew what everyone else did. and her pacing slows a little bit, but she doesn't stop and look up, because she can hear that he's hitting the dummy a little harder, she doesn't have to see it. so she's watching her feet pass one in front of the other, again and again, as she tries to figure out how to approach this. because there's a right way, there has to be. the tactful way.
