“don’t i get a kiss for luck? it’s kind of a tradition right” is actually the MOST annoying thing he could have possibly said because they literally have not talked about the kiss since it happened until that moment. like annabeth is probably still embarrassed or at least hoping he forgot about it because after she kissed him he just Didn’t acknowledge it (instead, he “died” for two weeks and then came back after chilling on an island and flirting with another girl only to announce he also wanted to hang out with rachel) and so she’s probably like okay cool so we’re not talking about that then, it’s been almost a year and she’s finally thinking he’s forgotten about it and they can just be friends. then he drops that obnoxious little comment in the middle of a battle, no shame about it, with michael yew literally standing right there to overhear and now she has to deal with that too. annabeth is a saint
