I don't know what a Baymax is, but if he's your friend, maybe it'd be worth asking about. I just haven't asked about Festus yet because... Well, I dunno, I guess. I'm not really sure if they really can make that happen, honestly. I've just heard about it.
[ He laughs. ] Yeah, those are good words, for sure. See also: full of crap. I think it's got something to do with giving us freedom of choice, which... [ Leo snorts. Yeah, right. ] At least that sort of works for not claiming us until we come to camp, but not the quest thing. All I know is that they try to stay out of mortal affairs, but gods forbid any mortal offend them!
Anyway, I think they consider still being alive reward enough, most of the time. Though I heard they once offered godhood to Percy, but he turned it down. It had something to do with the Titan War, but I wasn't around then, so I don't know the details.
Isn't that kind of what it's like, though? That's how they treat us, anyway. Otherwise throwing us around like they have just doesn't make any sense. [ Aside from annoying the hell out of their "subjects," which they are definitely good at. Leo wouldn't put it past them to be doing it for fun.
...Guess he should've seen that question coming. There's no point in hiding it, though - not when he was seen in full flame on the front lines at the recent battle - even if it hurts to admit in regards to this. ] I have something called the Blessing of Hephaestus. It means I can summon fire. My aunt didn't know about it, but she still blamed me for the workshop burning down because I was... [ Take a breath, Leo. It's in the past. Eight years in the past. ] I was the only one left alive when it happened. I think the police might've believed her, too.
[ Ouch. That's painful, man, and he knows it. But he also knows how utterly meaningless being told "sorry" is, so he won't say that. Instead, he settles for a simple, ] That sucks.
