Between the various people he's met here and his own time working with demigods/legacies that would rather NOT share their pasts, Jason had gotten used to the phrase "long story." Depending on the situation he may push, but for the purposes of their current conversation he could kind of understand. After all, if it truly was a long story then sharing it just a block or so away from the spirits' festivities seemed ill conceived.

"So your paths just...crossed? That seemed like a stronger bond than that."

He supposes part of those long stories involved what happened next.
