The first president of the United States. You didn't really think he was just a mortal did you? [He rolls his eyes.] She's going to be gifted with huge honors. I've always kinda felt she'd grow up to be powerful if she made it that long…just turned 16 over the summer.
[His hands are folded over his stomach and it seems like he's partially fascinated with the fact that they're rising and falling with his breathing.] Birds are the best though. Ever flown? Not in a plane or anything, I mean actually flying. I can't blame her. […there's a pause though. The future…it's hard to say and he doesn't speak for a moment.] …I've spent my whole life having people tell me they knew my fate and I was fated for something really terrible. I think I gave up thinking about the future after my quest. [There are things he wanted to do one day. He used to be a little more optimistic until everything fucked up so hard.] Or maybe after Thalia. I don't really remember when I stopped thinking I had a future.
