"He's okay," Frank said. "He's not like Hazel---" "How do you mean?" Percy asked. "Oh, um…" Frank coughed. He'd meant that Hazel was better looking and nicer, but he decided not to say that. "Nico is kind of mysterious. He makes everybody else nervous, being the son of Pluto, and all." "But not you?" Frank shrugged. "Pluto's cool. It's not his fault he runs the Underworld. He just got bad luck when the gods were dividing up the world, you know? Jupiter got the sky, Neptune got the sea, and Pluto got the shaft." "Death doesn't scare you?" Frank almost wanted to laugh. "Not at all! Got a match?"
I like this scene, honestly. Frank's got a very dark sense of humour, and i do respect him treating Nico and Hazel well (even though he considers nico less nice compared to hazel, he's not rude to him). He's right about Pluto getting the shaft too. I hate the greek and roman concept of the afterlife, but even i know Pluto/Hades just got dealt a very bad hand.
