When she had heard that Ryan had come to Camp Half-Blood, Thalia was ecstatic. But alas, she heard it from Chiron so he had also taken the opportunity to forbid her from talking to him. It was a very dangerous circumstance that they were already in so he took every precaution to make sure they never spoke to each other. He even moved the Poseidon table away from where Ryan sat at the Hermes table. Even though Chiron made sure that he took every precaution to keep the two away from each other, the Fates always have a funny way of twisting things around.

During a game of capture the flag, Poseidon and Hermes were against each other. Thalia was running to try to capture the flag and then out of nowhere, a hellhound (like the one that attacked Percy in the first book) started chasing her. She wasn't aware of this until it was too late; she heard the sound of the hellhound right as she paused to catch her breath. When she turned around it was half a metre away but there was somebody else nearby. Ryan had been assigned defence because even though he was likable, everyone was still slightly afraid of him because of Luke; he had seen Thalia being chased by the hellhound and he sprinted after her. He got there at the perfect moment. As he slashed the creature with nemiernieku (his sword which translated meant rebel, it was the first he made at Camp Half-Blood) and in an instant it had disintegrated. "Uh… thanks. You really didn't have to help me though, I could have called upon the river." Thalia stammered out. It was true of course but she was surprised that she said it. She also couldn't believe it; this guy was even better looking up close! Blushing, Ryan replied "I know but you didn't seem to know that it was there and I didn't really want you to… you know… get hurt." it was hard for Ryan to talk to girls that he actually thought was pretty; he had no problem talking to the girls that, yes were pretty, but he didn't really think that he would date them. (Like the girls in Aphrodite cabin) After a while of talking to each other, the two heard the cheers, groans and shouts that signalled that one team had gotten their opposing team's flag. Ryan and Thalia rushed off to see who had come out victoriously and they decided on the same story if anyone asked. They were having a sword fight. Thalia didn't expect to see Ryan again, no matter how much she wanted to, but as I said before, the Fates have a funny way of twisting things.

It was three in the morning when Thalia heard a tapping on her door. She wasn't even sure if it was anything threatening/important but she picked up her sword (udens, which meant controlled water, her mother and father combined) and went to the door. Relief surged through her when she saw it was Ryan, but the she blushed, all she was wearing was a pair of sweatpants and an old waterland t-shirt. (Also, book 1) "Can we talk? I just came now because, you know, we're kind of forbidden to see each other." while she was flattered, all Thalia could think about was how she looked. "if you give me 10 minutes I'll be right out in some warmer clothes, okay?" she used the fact that it was a slightly chilly night outside as a reason to make herself look presentable. Ryan obliged and when Thalia came out again she was wearing, black skinny jeans, red tank top, and a leather half jacket. She had also taken the time to re-apply her makeup. The two went to the docks beside the lake and started to get to know each other. Around 3:30, they started getting into heavy topics. Finally, around 8:30, the two were interrupted by the sound of a satyr approaching. But there were a few words Ryan had spoken to her that Thalia would never ever forget in her life.

They had been talking about the problems they had at home. Thalia had blurted out the time Grover had trashed her about her passive nature to people. (Chapter 1) Ryan had reassured her that it wasn't her fault she was born a person of trust. Many people just couldn't help themselves from being a person that could have a heart. His hand had been touching hers for about a half hour. What he had said that caught her attention was: "My father always said this one thing to my mother and now that I've met you it makes sense to me. The thing is while we were talking, I looked up at the stars and I started to match a star to every reason that I thought you are perfect for me or why I am starting to fall in love with you. It was working perfectly until I ran out of stars." it was so romantic and it got her attention. But his was right before the satyr had come along. They thought it was a normal satyr but actually, hiding in the bushes long enough to hear the line Ryan gave Thalia, was the person who would report this to Chiron, Percy and Annabeth. It was Grover.
