Antonio stared at Annabeth for a moment, his head tilting to the side slightly. "You promise?"
Annabeth chuckled, nodding her head. "I promise," she replied, her eyes looking away from him down to the plate of food. The gleam in her eyes dimmed. "I'll try…" She picked up the sandwich and her smile reduced to a thin line as she watched some tuna slip out and fall to the plate. 'I doubt that…' she thought to herself, 'I'll try once… that should be enough.'
Antonio observed her for a moment, looking at her eyes as she bit into the sandwich. 'They're blank…' he thought to himself. He stared for another moment before sighing and leaned back in his chair. "You're not going to, are you?" he muttered.
Annabeth looked up at him, alarm showing in her eyes when they locked with his eyes. A shiver ran down her spine. His eyes were dark now… murky in a way as they stared at her, piercing into her mind with a sharp gaze. 'He did it again…' she thought to herself.
