Annabeth realized that if six of them went on these two quests, it would leave Percy alone on the ship with Coach Hedge, which was maybe not a situation a caring girlfriend should put him in. Nor was she eager to let Percy out of her sight again—not after they’d been apart for so many months.

My mother was gone. The whole world should be black and cold. Nothing should look beautiful.
Rick Riordan
Percy, my mom said. I give you my blessing. Be safe brother! Tyson pleaded. Enchiladas! Grover said. I wasn't sure where that came from, but it didn't seem to help much.
Rick Riordan
He’d learned years ago it was better not to dwell too much on who was related to whom on the godly side of things. After Tyson the Cyclops adopted him as a brother, Percy decided that that was about as far as he wanted to extend the family.
Rick Riordan
Don’t judge someone until you’ve stood at his forge and worked with his hammer, eh?

Monkey bars, Annabeth said. I'm great at these. She leaped onto to the first rung and started swinging her way across. She was scared of tiny spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from a set of monkey bars. Go figure.
