Forgot I did this chapter :P

Louisa dumped her breakfast into the fire. She had done that for the last few days with all three meals. She refused point blank to eat, stubbornly and bluntly saying 'I ain't hungry'.

"I'm not gonna eat if you're not eating, Lou."

"How long's that gonna last?" Louisa countered moodily. Percy felt a wave of anger lash through him, but he put a lid on his temper. He was running out of ideas to help his sister. She hadn't told anyone what had happened. Every night, she had nightmares that she would wake up from in a right state, followed by her pacing around the cabin until sunrise.

The only thing that had bought back a glimpse of the old Louisa was Tobias. The tot didn't understand what was wrong, so he remained bubbly and gurgling. He was also slightly clingy towards Louisa, familiarizing himself with his aunt again.

"Lou, you have to eat."

"Ain't hungry."

"Oh, come on, Lou. You haven't eaten for days." She just shrugged, folding the paper napkin into a paper hat that would fit Tobias.

Someone sat next to Percy. He looked to his right and saw Annabeth. She smiled at him, sitting Tobias on the table. Louisa reached over and rested the paper hat on her nephew's head.

"Ah ba blah?" Tobias asked, reaching up and removing his hat to study it. "Ba!" He cried happily, sloppily replacing his new hat. Annabeth straightened it, smiling.

"You sound like Grover." She told him. Louisa had stolen her brother's paper napkin and was now folding it into a complex shape. "Lou?"

"Mm-hm?" Louisa hummed, not looking up.

"You dumped your breakfast again."

"'Kay." Louisa sat silently, folding the napkin until she held a paper sword, similar to Riptide. "Here ya go, squirt." Louisa handed Tobias her new creation. Tobias held it carefully, a look of awe on his face. He looked up at his father, a cheeky gleam in his eyes.

Then Tobias stabbed his father.

Annabeth and Percy cracked up laughing. Louisa's expression brightened slightly. Tobias looked confused.

"Ah?" He asked, holding up his slightly crumpled sword. Percy moved his plate and lifted his son to sit in front of him.

"Like this." Percy gently moved Tobias's fingers and arm so that he held the paper sword correctly.

"Demigod fathering." Annabeth sighed, grinning as Tobias jabbed at his father again.

While Percy and Annabeth were distracted, Louisa slipped away.

She just left the mess hall when she slammed into someone. They both fell backwards.

"Gods dammit, poxy dents." Louisa propped herself up on her elbows. Leo lay on his back, holding a small, bronze sphere. He had opened a hatch and was heating the metal from the inside, smoothing out the small, minor, barely visible dents.

"Leo?" He sat up on his elbows, grinning.

"Lou! I've been meaning to talk to you." He scrambled to his feet and pulled her up. His grin faltered slightly. "Lou, you're-"

"Don't say it." Leo fell silent for a few seconds.

"I'm gonna say it. You need to eat." Louisa snatched her arm away, angering.

"I ain't hungry!"

"When was the last time you ate then?" Leo countered, slipping the sphere into his tool belt.

"What's it matter to you?"

"You're my friend, Lou. I'm not gonna let you starve yourself."

"I ain't starvin' maself. I just ain't hungry." And she stormed off. Leo sighed.
