“How many water puns have you made today anyway? Ten? Twenty?” He’s only half kidding - Nico knows deep down the real answer to his question is about a hundred. And okay, that last part about Annabeth is completely true. Who could beat Annabeth? Even Nico wouldn’t want to go against her. But he humored Percy or a hot second. How long had it been since they talked?
“Maybe save the world a third time and they’ll pick up the slack on those compliments you totally deserve.”
❛ i made as many as necessary. ❜ truthfully, he’s only saying that because he lost count after ten, but only because he was given so many GOOD CHANCES today, that he could not pass up. that, and annabeth looks cute when she face palms. hopefully her forehead is okay.
❛ third time’s a charm -- that sort of thing ? i don’t want to be cool that badly, though. i’ve ALMOST DIED too much for my liking. my mom would have a stroke or something if i get sent on another quest to save the world. there wasn’t a PART THREE to the giant slash titan war, right ? no wars with the sky i have to worry about ? i know ouranos was CHOPPED UP, but so was kronos, so that means nothing to me. ❜
