He looked triumphantly at the bruised little body, and gave it a ferocious kick.
"Augh!"
"Better start talking soon..." he purred.
"Hah... Even Annabeth would've given up by now!" the anime-character chuckled, spitting up blood. "You're persistent, I'll give you that much!"
There was the shrill keen of his beloved pet, and he looked up. "Doesn't matter. I suppose she'll come right to me just to get to you." he sighed, pulling off the scrap of fabric from the eagle's leg.
"Even that goof isn't so stupid as to just plow right through a whole damn army just to save my ass."
"Her message begs to differ. Says she'll kick anyone who stands between her and you to the moon and back, and she doesn't give shit about my arsenal, because she'll just shove... Ooh, when did little weak princess get so violent? Nasty comment there!" he laughed.
"Annabeth... Baka..."
"She's become so close to you that she's teaching you Japanese? I think I picked the winning number on this ticket!" he cackled. "Is that ring on your finger hers?"
"Nah..."
What? It wasn't Annabeth's?
"She forced me to go with the story. I'm engaged to someone else, not her, bird-brain!"
Hmm... He shrugged, turning away. The anime-character was missing his metal leg. He wasn't going anywhere. Chuckling, he left the room.
"So, Annabeth is going to come right to me to get to little Edward... I can't wait to face the little princess again...!"
