Today on "It is objectively hilarious that Jason and Nico do not tell anyone even a lie about what happened in Croatia": I love the bit where they have that whole exchange re drinking the poison and Nico says "You asked me about trust, and taking a risk? Well, here you go, son of Jupiter. How much do you trust me?" and Jason takes the poisoned chalice and drinks it without hesitation and Frank, whose POV it is, is just like "Well I have no earthly idea what that's about, moving on". Both because Nico calls back to the earlier conversation (which the rest of the group also was not there for) where Jason was like "Maybe take a risk and believe that I actually am your friend" (making this line basically "If you're really my friend drink poison" and Jason just does it without a second thought, it's really no wonder why Nico likes him so much) and because it is this very important exchange about a very personal matter and I'd argue it's a turning point in their relationship (Nico is not used to people trusting him unconditionally just because he asked them to) that they are just having in front of a bunch of people who have zero context and also think Nico is weird and creepy enough when he isn't telling people that if they trust him they should drink poison. Also while it's not mentioned in the narration I choose to believe Jason was making direct eye contact with Nico while he drank the poison just because it has that sort of feel to it and also I feel like it would make the whole thing even weirder for the observing demigods.
