#luke saying in ep 2 that they were afraid to take annabeth in and expose her to all the monsters thalia attracted

Of course Annabeth thought Thalia wanted her to earn her love!! Thalia Grace who’d never had anyone to take of her, not her mother, and certainly not her father. Thalia Grace who felt Jason’s absense everyday, the guilt of it, not being able to take care of him. Thalia Grace who met Luke Castellan but he took care of himself just fine and so did she so there was no need to worry. Thalia Grace who met a girl who ran away at an even younger age than she did. Thalia Grace who lost her brother and then met a girl the age he would’ve been if she hadn’t.

Thalia wasn’t making Annabeth earn anything, she was just scared she’d get that precious little girl killed and all her fears were almost proven right that day in the cyclops cave so that’s why she turned around and made sure it never happened again on Half-Blood Hill.
