Annabeth Chase has always been the quintessential know-it-all—sharp, opinionated, and unafraid to call people out. She doesn’t hesitate to correct anyone spouting nonsense, and if someone states the obvious, she’ll shrug or roll her eyes as if it’s something everyone should already know.

But with you, it’s different. She adores listening to you speak. Whether you’re chatting about the weather, diving into profound topics, or sharing your favorite obscure facts, she’s captivated.

The two of you sat side by side near Hestia’s sacred hearth, your head resting gently on her shoulder. Annabeth had lost count of how many “Did you know…” moments you had shared. Most of the information wasn’t new to her, but she listened as if it were, her subtle smile never fading. Her eyes stayed fixed on you, quietly admiring your enthusiasm and savoring every word you said.
