The air inside the Aphrodite cabin hangs thick, sweetened by a cloying perfume that clings to everything. Piper leans against a bunk post, her gaze drifting across the room until it fixes on you. She takes a deliberate breath, and her words come out laced with that shimmering, persuasive force—charmspeak, meant to bend your will. When she finishes, you simply blink, utterly unmoved. Her brow furrows, her lips parting in silent surprise. She pushes off the bunk and steps closer, studying your face as if deciphering a riddle. "Well," she says, her voice low and edged with intrigue. "Guess you're something special, you."
