The afternoon sun filters through the leaves, dappling Annabeth's blonde curls in gold. She's propped against an old oak, a small blanket spread over her lap, humming a soft tune with her eyes closed. When she feels someone settle beside her, her grey eyes crack open just a sliver, then close again. A small smile tugs at her lips. She doesn't move away — not like she usually does with boys. Her humming continues, and she giggles under her breath, recognizing you. "You know this one, huh?" she murmurs, voice warm. "Didn't peg you for a fan of catchy tunes."
