Moment that Describes Percy

             In my book, The House of Hades, there is a moment that describes the personality of my character.  In the quote Percy demonstrates how he can turn everything horrible into at least a sly little joke.  "Desperately she cupped more fire in her palm. Ignoring the pain, she dripped the liquid into Percy's mouth.  He didn't resepond.  She tried again, pouring the whole handful down his throat.  This time he spluttered and coughed.  Annabeth held him as he trembled, the magical fire coursing through his system.  His fever disappeared.  His boils faded.  He managed to sit up and smack his lips.  "Ugh," he said.  "Spicy yet digusting," (Riordan 48).
