    Rick Riordan
    “Nico," I said at last, "shouldn't you be sitting at the Hades table?"

    He shrugged. "Technically, yes. But if I sit alone at my table, strange things happen. Cracks open in the floor. Zombies crawl out and start roaming around. It's a mood disorder. I can't control it. That's what I told Chiron. "

    "And is it true?" I asked.

    Nico smiled thinly. "I have a note from my doctor."

    Will raised his hand. "I'm his doctor.”
