Esme narrowed her eyes a bit at Cason’s mocking, a small smile still resting on her lips as she did. When the waitress came up with the orders, she smiled warmly and took her drink from her with a thank you as Cason took the others. Holding her drink in both hands, she took a sip as he turned back to her and spoke. “Yeah, better than a movie.” she smirked and laughed a little after swallowing. When he wrapped his arm around her waist, she tried to protest, but all she got out was “Hey” as he teleported them to Sam’s room. 

After landing in Sam’s room, she felt lightheaded and slightly sick to her stomach. When he let her go, Esme took a couple of steps back and nodded to Annabeth’s words. “You’re right. He is bossy.” she replied to her. Holding her drink with her right hand, she balled up her left hand at her side. “You couldn’t give me a heads up before doing that?” she asked with a glare, trying not to yell at him. She then walked over to a chair and sat down, rested her left arm on the arm of the chair, then rested her forehead on her hand, waiting for the symptoms to pass. 

She took a sip of her drink before closing her eyes and sighing heavily and focusing on keeping her food down. She hoped the feeling would pass quickly and not linger.
