Annabeth is extremely....unsure. She cares for Ichiru and what he wants, but to get what he wants at the cost of making someone else miserable, that's just...not right? Right now she's very conflicted because of that, and since Ichiru isn't exactly available to interrogate she has to go on what other people are saying to make judgements. And that's something Annabeth hates more than anything, is not knowing enough.

Why does he dislike Citrine? I never particularly kept up with outside-Peridot shenanigans until Annabeth got in.
