It's a pleasure to meet you Annabeth, circumstances aside...

[She nods at the confirmation on solitude.]

I understand that very well actually. [She considers the statement and then decides to ask.] Have you thought of anything that could help us while we're out here?

[She asks the question in such a way that indicates she's only curious to find out if the girl has had any ideas. She's not really putting pressure on the girl or at least not meaning to.]
