    "I love you," he whispered. "I hope you don't mind.”

    “Five Great Charters knit the land
    Together linked, hand in hand

    Two in the folk who keep the Dead down
    Three and Five became stone and mortar
    Four sees all in frozen water.”

    “She asks why I like her.
    Might as well ask
    Why I breathe.
    Maybe tomorrow I won't
    Breathe or like her
    Anymore.
    Maybe tomorrow the tides
    Will stop.
    Maybe tomorrow will bring
    No more rainbows.
    Maybe tomorrow
    She will stop
    Asking useless questions.”

    “In a way, it's nice to know that there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some devine force is really trying to mess up your day.”

    He put his finger to his lips. "I'm incognito. Call me Fred."
    "A god named Fred?”

    “The real story of the Fleece: there were these two children of Zeus, Cadmus and Europa, okay? They were about to get offered up as human sacrifices, when they prayed to Zeus to save them. So Zeus sent this magical flying ram with golden wool, which picked them up in Greece and carried them all the way to Colchis in Asia Minor. Well, actually it carried Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that's not important."
    "It was probably important to her.”
