(no subject)

Okay, so I lent my copy of Sea of Monsters out and my roommate's asleep, so can anyone tell me at the end where Luke admits to poisoning Thalia's tree, if he seems particularly upset or conflicted about it? Because I have blanked that part out of my brain and his reaction is sort of important to the side project fic I'm working on.

And, this is just a topic for discussion on a related subject, but does anyone think Luke didn't know that the Golden Fleece would bring Thalia back? That kind of seems like something Kronos would keep on the DL, even to Luke, since lord knows that boy likes to brag about what he's planning to Percy and co. Then again, I might've overlooked the subtle clues. I think I've only read SoM all the way through once.

I haven't read it in awhile, and I don't have it with me either, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I think what I remember is either Percy or Annabeth asking Luke how he could poison Thalia's tree/betray her like that. Luke gets really angry and goes into some kind of rant about how Thalia would be on his side if he was alive. I might've mixed this up with something else. I think he was being defensive because he felt really guilty about it.

You could always use the "Look Inside" function on Amazon, which is what I do, but you'd have to search the right phrase. Also, if you're super desperate, someone messaged me and said if I ever needed help consulting the books-that-I-do-not-have-on-hand, he (she?) would be willing to lend a hand. That offer probably still stands.

Oooh, thanks for the tip on "Look Inside" function. That helped me loads.

He... doesn't seem particularly broken up about it, no. He's pretty snarly and angry but not at all torn. (At least in the scene where Percy secretly calls Dionysus and gets Luke to admit everything. That was the only time he admitted it, wasn't it?)

I think he talks about it twice, and he's pretty ranty both times. That's what I was hoping it would be, so thanks for the help!

Okay, yeah - I couldn't remember how many times he mentioned it, but twice sounds more right. Either way, I do think he probably didn't show any remorse. Stupidhead. D:
