She can tell he's confused- it's a weird thing, and honestly, she's really confused by it, too.] I got into the First Cohort a lot earlier... I was voted as a Centurion later, Reyna thinks I can do it. I just... Er- [She blinks, then glances behind her.]
I don't like to talk about it. [her voice is small. It was true, she hated it. People never looked at her the same when she told them. But Percy was her brother. Half-brother, as they'd just decided. And her counselor.]

Though, truth be told, what was the point of hiding her history? Everyone, at least, all the Romans, knew it. How sweet little Annie Cresta killed her family and went crazy. How her demigod powers saved her life. How if you provoked her enough, she could very well go crazy and try to kill you, too.]
