Annabeth nods, slowly. "Overexertion makes sense too. Whatever the something was... is still probably related to her magic. Even if you can't feel Mally's taint, it could have been like a domino effect, from something he's done. I'm not sure who else she could have been fighting."
She gets distracted for a moment, by the way the water glows. Lucky to be alive is apt. "We're all lucky she's alive." And then she hesitates over the compliment, but her expression doesn't shift. It does, however, get her to admit to something she hasn't told anyone else, beyond fellow demigods and Zatanna. "I've known her for two years now. I like to think she's had my back too."
It's kind of a stupid secret to keep anymore, at this point.
