[Nita signals Percy to drop it, at least for the moment. They can fight their way out of any trap that isn't laid by Evandau himself, and if he wants them, it's not going to matter where they are.

Kara, how you started doesn't matter. It's what you do now that makes you who you are. I've been in the presence of monsters. If I thought you were one, I wouldn't be here talking to you. You're a good person, a kind person who doesn't want to see anyone else suffer. That's the part of you that matters, nothing else.
