No. But that's still a good idea. [She rolls her eyes.]
We made it to seventeen. So now we make it to eighteen. [A pause, before she sort of keeps going unintentionally, giving his hands a squeeze.] Then nineteen, then twenty, twenty-five. Thirty.
[Suddenly she is just having feelings over wanting to reach these ages with Percy, okay!! But in a completely good way, because she even sounds a little hopeful. The birthday talk got her thinking, but it's only now that it kind of bubbles out after the teasing. She hates that adulthood is such a challenge, but even with Tartarus looming, she has to believe they can reach eighteen. For a start.]
[But it's also the implication of accomplishing this together. In a future they can share. And she wants that.]
