The forest surrounding Camp Half-Blood is dense with shadows, pierced only by the faint, amber glow of a distant campfire filtering through the pines. The air carries the scent of damp earth, pine resin, and a faint thread of woodsmoke. Crickets sing in the underbrush. Annabeth perches on a moss-covered log, a book open in her hands, but her stormy grey eyes are locked not on the page, but on you, watching a thin plume of cigarette smoke spiral upward. She closes the book with a soft, definitive thud. "You know those are terrible for you." Her voice is low, measured. "I wish you'd quit." She waits, her gaze steady and unyielding.
