How Riordan wrote it:

How I read it:

‘If Leo started spontaneously combusting every time he got excited, Jason was going to have a tough time taking him anywhere. Jason imagines trying to get food at a restaurant. I’ll have a cheeseburger and - Ahhh! My date’s on fire! Get me a bucket!’

In other words: this is literally Jason prepping for the complications of taking Leo to dinner. He is imagining dating this boy. Valgrace is real, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Oho, so Jason thinks elfish features are pretty huh? You know who else is petite with slightly pointy ears and known for his elfish charm? Leo.

How The Lost Hero would’ve gone if I were in charge:

Leo, supportively: Just go tell Piper you love her. What’s the worst that could happen?

Jason, softly with doe eyes: You might think I meant it.

Aphrodite said she’d make sure Piper had an interesting love life with Jason. You know what makes a relationship interesting?

When your boyfriend remembers he’s gay.

All the confirmation I need that Valgrace is real.

Leo, pointing to a problem: So what kind of angle is this?

Jason: Looks pretty acute to me.

Leo, trying to be supportive: Oh, actually it’s obtuse..

Jason, grinning: I was talking about you.

Leo, flustered: Okay, lets try something else. Let’s look at what this line bisects.

Jason, leaning closer: Is that spelled B I S E X?

Leo, frowning: That’s a good pun but please pay attention.

Jason, winking: Are you getting tired of my tangents?

Leo: You know I’m starting to suspect you don’t sincerely wanna learn about triangles.
