Annabeth sat in her waiting room as her maid, Doe, cleaned up the things around her. Her makeup was wrapped up and placed in a bag, and the calligraphy items sitting on the dressing table were placed in the same bag, safely under Doe's arm.
After making sure that everything in the room was properly taken care of, Annabeth stood up from her seat and walked out of the tiny room into the wide space of the large waiting room. The sections of people in front of her, split into two as soon as they laid their eyes on her. Stares were thrown at her, some carefully hidden and the rest blatantly peering at her. She could see them all, she didn't care.
Her eyes search the room for her sisters, looking over the heads of the women in the room and the scarce population of boys that mostly walked with each other. Her eyes peered through the crowd carefully, still trying to find her sisters when a hand perched on her shoulder.
"Whatcha looking for?" The voice asked.
