Quotes of Book: The Ship of the Dead
But I suppose if you're friends of Magnus's ..." He went completely still. His runes faded. Then he leaped out of my hand and flew towards Annabeth, his blade twitching as if he was stiffing the air. "Where is she? Where are you hiding the babe?"Annabeth backed towards the rail. "Whoa, there, sword. Personal space?""Jack, behave," Alex said. "What are you doing?""She's around here somewhere," Jack insisted. He flew to Percy. "Aha! What's in your pocket, sea boy?""Excuse me?" Percy looked a bit nervous about the magical sword hovering at his waistline.Alex lowered his Ray-Bans. "Okay, now I'm curious. What you have in your pocket, Percy? Enquiring swords want to know."Percy pulled a plain-looking ballpoint pen from his jeans. "You mean this?""BAM!" Jack said. "Who is this vision of loveliness?""Jack," I said. "It's a pen.""No, it's not! Show me! Show me!""Uh ... sure." Percy uncapped the pen.Immediately it transformed into a three-foot-long sword with a leaf-shaped blade of glowing bronze.. Compared to Jack, the weapon looked delicate, almost petite, but from the way Percy wielded it I had no doubt he'd be able to hold his own on the battlefields of Valhalla with that thing.Jack turned his point towards me, his runes flashing burgundy.

"One more thing."He walked up to me. "I've also been thinking about your declaration of undying love or whatever.""I didn't - it wasn't -"He clamped his hands on the sides of my gooey face and kissed me.I had to wonder: was it possible to dissolve into chocolate on a molecular level and melt into a puddle on the carpet? Because that's how I felt. I'm pretty sure Valhalla had to resurrect me several times during the course of that kiss. Otherwise, I don't know how I was still in one piece when Alex finally pulled away.He studied me critically, his brown and amber eyes taking me in. He had a chocolate moustache and goatee now, and chocolate down the front of his sweater vest.I'll be honest. A small part of my brain thought, The rest of my brain answered: In fact, I might have done something typically embarrassing and stupid, like making the aforementioned declaration of undying love, but Alex spared me."Eh." He shrugged. "I'll keep thinking about it. I'll get back to you. In the meantime, definitely take that shower."He left, whistling a tune that might have been a Frank Sinatra song from the elevator, "Fly Me to the Moon"." book-quote
