[Normally Luke is an instigator and tends to mess with people for fun. This definitely isn't the time for that and so he doesn't seem to mind that Adam's still above him. The talk of possession is a little nervewracking since he knows how it happened to him is different than how it happened to Adam or maybe even Elizabeth, but it's something to consider.]
That's also possible. If something's controlling your body that's one thing but when it's body and mind control that's a little harder, I think. Both are pretty bad though. [Let's not discount the fact that what happened to Adam is also awful.]
…I want to talk to her myself if she'll let me. I think I might be able to help? [He sounds completely uncertain, not only because he doesn't know if he can help but also in not knowing he wants to leave Adam by himself right now. It's, again, a game of timing.] It depends on the kind of possession. Some people don't get a choice. We saw what happened to Rhys's body. But…some people do. I was completely aware of what was happening when Kronos possessed me. There were steps I had to take…go back to my mom's house to get her permission to bathe in the Styx, head to the Underworld and bathe in the river and try not to completely get myself destroyed. When you bathe in the Styx, you've gotta find a point for your heel and concentrate on keeping your humanity, basically. You don't focus on that, your soul gets crushed. Can be a place or a thing but…focusing on a person that keeps you grounded to mortality is the strongest.
[Thalia and Annabeth. Those had been his focal points.] Point is, I knowingly took him on and let him use me as a host. We don't know if that's what happened here or not but I'm guessing not unless she was also tricked unwillingly. […a pause.] It sounds crazy, I know, but Kronos used to contact me in dreams. This was a nightmare motive. You think maybe…? [Maybe that's how this happened?]
