<strong>Chloe: So this is religion, huh?</strong><br/><br/>Chloe nodded as Abby explained about half-bloods being gifts. "Yeah I take your point. Dad is pretty cool. Although right now he probably thinks I was killed in that explosion... Look, I've never really believed in anything I couldn't see and touch, but there are enough strange things going on that I'm willing to keep an open mind".<br/><br/>The food in the Pavilion looked great and Chloe was almost horrified to learn that she was required to waste half of her plate full, but she bit her tongue on a comment. "Okay, when in Rome... Or Greece, judging by the names..." She loaded her plate with food and, with a sigh, tipped half of it into the flames. "Look, mum, who-ever you are, I'd kinda appreciate it if you'd maybe put in some sort of appearance, so we can get this parenting thing sorted out? And maybe have one of those long mother-daughter chats that other kids seem to get...?" She sighed and moved on.<br/><br/>The cup thing seemed pretty cool. "No alcohol, huh? Shouldn't have a problem with Budweiser then... Juuuuust kidding! Okay, how about a chocolate milkshake?" Chloe was holding her goblet at a funny angle when she said that and wasn't looking at it. The sudden increase in weight almost made her drop the cup, and some of the thick, creamy brown liquid slopped out. "WOAH! Hey, waddya know it works!"<br/><br/>She followed Abby over to table eleven and managed to find a seat, somehow. "Hey folks. Anyone here from England?"<br/><br/>
