"You are thinking about the Hunters again, aren't you?" a voice asked Thalia as she was sitting on a clearing.

"Why do you think?" she asked and turned to the blonde boy.

"You always have a grimace on your face when you do," the boy, Luke shrugged.

"It just... That girl, Zoë, she said that I'm dumb, that I only don't join them, because I don't see through you," Thalia told the boy who was now sitting next to her.

"You aren't dumb, Thals," he said simply.

"Then why didn't I join the Hunters?" she asked with raised eyebrows.

"Because you are unique," Luke said once again simply with a light smile on his face.

"Unique?" the black-haired girl questioned him curiously and a bit doubtfully.

"Yeah, you see through them. You saw that they are just a bunch of pre-teens who have nothing, besides a goddess to worship and who detest boys because they can't have them. You are better than them, Thalia and you will always be," Luke explained easily and Thalia looked at him.

"That's what you think about the Hunters?" Thalia asked.

"Yeah, I guess," Luke shrugged.

"I almost joined them," the girl pointed out.

"However, you didn't. You are still here... with me," the blonde haired, older boy said and smiled at the girl.

"You are right. I'm happy to be here with you," Thalia nodded." You wouldn't ever betray me as Zoë said, would you?" she asked and the boy shook his head with a smile on his face.

"Don't be ridiculous. Why would I ever betray a unique girl like you?" he asked as it was the most absurd question in the World.

"They offered me a company, sisters. However, I have a much better company, you," Thalia said and she lay down on the soft grass and Luke did the same.

"Just the two of as against the World," Luke said seriously.

"The two of us against the whole World," Thalia agreed.

"Always," Luke nodded.
