She leaves without saying anything.

Percy couldn’t remember who won capture the flag. All he could remember was a very red-faced Thalia walking off as soon as Annabeth got off of him to wipe herself clean. He and Annabeth sat next to each other at the dining pavilion, chatting idly as they ate. There was a playful memory here when Annabeth first broke the rules to sit here with him when the battle of the Labyrinth began.

Small talks seemed even more of an impact now that they had been intimate together. For one reason or another, that expression of love seemed to be more important than all their adventures together. In a way, it was those sexual interactions that were the most mortal thing had experienced with each other.

Across the pavilion, Percy did make a few glances over to where the Hunters of Artemis were. Thalia was watching them curiously, almost as if she expected the two of them to be making love in front of the entire camp. That idea kind of excited Percy for some reason, but obviously didn’t act on it.

When the activities of the camp were done, Percy Jackson retired to his cabin to earn some well-deserved rest. The entire day had kept him on his feet, not to mention the brief “skirmish” he had with Annabeth during capture the flag. He fell back on his bed and exhaled. He was glad that Tyson wasn’t here; who knows what would have happened if he was? It was awkward enough to get morning wood with him around. For the first time in a while, he was glad to have no one else in his cabin. He wouldn’t even want to think what Tyson would have done if he saw what happened last night.

He said a silent prayer to his father, expressing gratitude that no one had spotted them making love beside Thalia, who accidentally stumbled over them.

…Thalia had entered Percy’s thought process the night before, but when he thought about her again, he didn’t even feel a fraction of the same amount of lust as he felt for Annabeth just then. The very thought of Annabeth made his face feel warm, and his blood started flowing. All that came to mind when he recalled his girlfriend to his memory was all the recent experiences they had.

Though Percy did not intend it, he worked himself into a semi-erect state. However, when he heard someone knocking on his door, he went soft again, and he swung his legs off the bed to answer the visitor.
