Not even in the slightest

Thalia stared at her mistress for a long while, her sister in blood and arms. And sometimes her torrid lover under the stars.

And promptly slapped her in the face. Artemis’ neck barely rotated, but her shock was palpable.

“My lady this is Percy we’re talking about! If you proposed that to him this way he’d try to stab you without hesitation! And believe me he’s got a terrifying track record against gods!” She crossed her arms softly adding.

“Plus he has way too much self respect to accept such a proposition proposed so lewdly. His mother raised him too well for that.”

Artemis rubbed her cheek, offended and shell shocked.

“You believe a mortal can match me in combat?!”

“Yes.” Dryly and bluntly shot back Thalia without a second thought. “He nearly drowned a goddess in poison Im not taking any chances.”

“Wait he what now?!”

“Not important.” Thalia shook her head. “My lady, if you want to get in Percy’s pants. Your gonna have to be more galant than that. And I mean a lot more galant than that.”

“You wish for me to court him??” Questioned the slightly offended goddess.

Thalia nodded, “if you want to get Percy’s attention as a goddess. You’ll need to approach him gingerly and with humility. Otherwise he won’t give you the time of day. This isn’t about submission or admiting inferiority. Percy’s a modern model male demigod. Just show him you care and that he can feel safe with you. He’ll melt in seconds, it’s how guys are these days they need someone to feel safe with as well these days. Just, for the love of all that’s holy and unholy. Be patient, I’d rather not have to try and break a fight between you two.”

Artemis crossed her arms raising a brow. “You seem oddly confident he can fight me.”

“It’s because he can.” Bluntly replied Thalia briefly mellowing out. “Listen, I know Percy’s attractive. I’d tap that if I could too, but I also know I don’t have the patience to endure his sass or his personality on the daily. Courting Percy it’ll be like waiting a long time for a prey to show up you know? Frankly… Percy deserves a lot better than to be reduced as the sex toy of the hunt. After everything he’s done all the bullshit he had to put up with from the people he’s protected for years.”

Thalia flapped her hands a bit looking for the right word.

“The guy deserves to be fucking treasured okay that’s what I mean. If your going to bed Perseus Jackson, at least have the decency to cherish him… please.”

Artemis stared at Thalia for a bit. Rethinking her hasty plan and assumptions. Perseus Jackson was indeed like a prey. A powerful prey to conquer, but even the mightiest of bear could be tamed with a bit of honey.
