Nah. What you need to do is listen to me. [And since he's taller, he has no problem moving to pick her up, more or less starting to carry her away from the woods.] Trust me, these flowers are no good and they're not going to get you the answers you want, all right? You've gotta trust me.
Wait, wh-- [ if there's anything to shock annabeth out of the call of flowers, it's being bodily lifted off the ground. how dare?? she will begin to squirm but is relatively ineffective as she is still a squishy girl with very little muscles to her name. ] Put me down! Luke, you put me down right now or I'll-- I'll tell mom you're being mean to me!
[ annabeth you and luke are like 23 and 16, not 13 and 6. ]
[Yeaaah no he's going to throw her over his shoulder (carefully avoiding the hilt of Backbiter) and start walking away.]
You think Mom's actually going to believe "Luke pulled me away from flowers that were talking to me"? Think about how that sounds, 'Beth. [There's a disgruntled noise though.] I want answers as much as you do, but I've already dealt with them once. They're not telling the truth and at our current size you're gonna get lost out there. And I can't let that happen, you understand me?
[ she's smacking backbiter, lowkey ftr. but it seems whatever hold the flowers had is being knocked out of her so. gj? ]
That's not what I'd say! I'd say "Luke dragged me home when I was just..." [ pause. ] "enjoying spring". [ but wait hold on ] What did they say to you?
...that excuse is even worse. [There's a smirk and he's still not dropping here as they walk further away.] It doesn't matter what they said to me. I'm not listening anymore.
