He was still in a state of shock at Apollo's words, and he glanced around at the other kids that the god mentioned. The closest one was the ocean girl, with dark brown hair and even darker clothing. Wow, fashion crisis, Noah thought to himself and tried not to cringe. Instead, he forced a smile onto his face (which wasn't that hard) and stood to greet the other two that were approaching. Which was... oh my gods, it was Ophelia. Standing in front of him. Talking to him. Smiling at him!! Noah swore his heart was swelling up three times as big inside his chest. "Oh, hi! This sure is exciting, isn't it? Won't it be great to bond together and save the day? Such a wonderful experience," he rambled enthusiastically.
Noah barely registered that the other boy was speaking to him. "Yeah, of course! I'm so sorry, that was really rude of me. I'm Noah Tate, from the Aphrodite Cabin. And you must be... Thanos, right?" he asked, pretending as if he didn't already know. As if his cabin wasn't a regular gossip mill. As if he didn't know already everything about Ophelia (not really, although he liked to think so).

She watched in dazed confusion as Apollo disappeared, then the other kids swarmed around her. Immediately, she was uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Not to mention that Thanos was being a complete idiot. Thea scoffed at his words. Him? A loser? He has everything in the world! He has friends. He has talents. He got chosen by his father for this quest, for gods' sake, she thought bitterly and continued to glower at him.
Luckily, Thanos turned to talk to the other boy, Noah. She didn't want to stick around for light conversation with Ophelia, so she turned on her heel and left. Soon enough, she came to the beach and crouched. Closing her eyes, Thea sighed softly and whispered to the water. "If anyone is out there... I need your help." She waited a few moments. The waves parted, and two creatures approached in the shallows. She gasped in amazement at the sight before her -- two beautiful and colorful hippocampi with iridescent whorls of the rainbow on their scales, gleaming under the moonlight.
Thea turned to face the group, then frowned. How was she going to get along with the others on this quest? She decided to start simple, with her own peace treaty. "Hey, so... um, I think I found a way for us to get to Greece," she said awkwardly and simply, offering no further explanation.
