2. Unprofessional

She was a leader.
Artemis believed in her. She put her faith in Thalia.
What she did was very unprofessional.
Her task was to lead the others, to be a good example for the others.
At the moment she wasn't.
"You shouldn't have given that task to Amelia," Lily, who was originally a mortal and who was Thalia's living conscience told her as they walked through the clearing.
Thalia didn't respond.
"Melia is already a trusted and trained huntress. She is one of our bests. You gave her the task which is usually given to the newcomers," Lily said in a reprimanding tone. Sometimes Thalia was sure that there was a mistake and Lily was actually a daughter of Athena and not a mortal.
"Then should I do it?" Thalia asked as she lost her patience. She didn't need Lily to know what she did was unprofessional. Lily stopped and looked at the blue-eyed daughter of Zeus.
"That wasn't what I meant," she said and Thalia knew that she felt guilty.
"I'm the new one, the untrained. That's exactly what it meant," the lieutenant responded coldly.
Thalia Grace was a newcomer, a newbie as some would say.
Thalia Grace wasn't professional sometimes.
However, she was the lieutenant.
She was the leader and only Lady Artemis could question her decisions.
"I'm sorry Thalia," Lily said slowly. "I understand," she said and the daughter of Zeus nodded.
Her situation wasn't easy, but she was trying.
