[Annabeth's face is baffled, confused, and vaguely uncomfortable on top of a subtle curiosity. It's different when she can yell at someone like Leo to shut up, but Vanessa...is not like Leo. And she is acting like this is totally normal. IS THIS NORMAL.] Why are we even - you didn't have to tell me that. [Super awkward pause.] Is it - weird? [That she and Percy hadn't yet - though they seemed to be getting closer, and they both acknowledged how quickly things seemed to be going. But she can't stop thinking over the 'Wait, really?' like it's a surprise, and she needs to poke at it.]

I like Metal best. [And Water but w/e] Not exactly. It's... more of a tool than a fashion statement.
