[color=b71d5d]"Thank you for the ride, Argus."[/color] Andy said before she climbed out of the van. She didn't want to leave Arthur's side, but it seemed it was time. They were going separate ways. When Arthur got out of the van, she gave him a hug. Hoping it wouldn't be their last. 

She looked up at her aunt. [color=b71d5d]"Which direction are we going?"[/color] Where they needed to go was a little less straightforward. She looked around the city. It was weird being back in a city. She had done so much travel on her own for so long that part of her wanted to disappear into the crowd and forget it all. But she knew she'd never leave Arthur behind. So she had to do the quest so they could be back together again.

She nodded as Jason explained. She wasn't surprised. His experience in California was the same as a layover while flying. [color=0080ff]"I figured we'd see about taking the Amtrak. Worked well enough for me before.[/color] They could also fly since none of them were children of Neptune.

Well, Mortals aren't supposed to know about New Rome."[/color] Niah said; she smiled sadly. California was her home too now. Those hills were where she wanted to be more than anything. [color=0080ff]"We are going to Mount Tamalpais. I've been there once before."[/color] She was proud that she didn't look at Mads as she said that. 

[color=0080ff]"As for the island. I'm not sure what you mean."[/color] She tried to think of what Stella could be talking about. [color=0080ff]"When did this happen?"[/color] If it had happened before Niah had come to California, that might explain why she didn't know about it, at least. Though Stella seemed a little young, she was old enough that Niah hadn't been there for most of her life. She had only lived at Camp Jupiter for five years, and those had been fast-tracked. 

Niah took her turn, getting out of the van as soon as she could. She collected her group's money from Argus. Niah wasn't used to being the one in direct control of a group, as both Nancy and Mads had stronger personalities than her, but she knew her way around the ticket counter. And wasn't certain Jason or Stella, especially Stella, could get away with ordering tickets from the Amtrak station.
