"What part of I don't want to talk to any of you do you not understand, sunshine?" Clarisse snips as you enter the Ares cabin. She says the nickname is an insult, but you never take it as one.

Clarisse had stormed off after declaring that the whole Ares cabin would stop fighting with the other demigods. You followed right behind her. She was your best friend, you couldn't let her run off alone.

You found her alone, sitting on her bunk with her knees to her chest, her armor on the ground.
