It's not bad enough I am exiled? It's not bad enough you take away the few good heroes I'm allowed to meet? You think it's funny to send me this this ― this charbroiled runt of a boy to ruin my tranquility? This is NOT FUNNY! Take him back!
In "The House of Hades" by Rick Riordan, a character expresses deep frustration and resentment about their situation. They feel exiled and deprived of the positive influences in their life, particularly the heroes they look up to. The arrival of a new, unwelcome character only exacerbates their annoyance. The speaker humorously refers to this new boy as a "charbroiled runt," indicating a lack of respect and highlighting how this unexpected addition disrupts their peace. The plea to "take him back" emphasizes their desire to maintain their current state of tranquility, underscoring the tension between their longing for stability and the chaotic changes imposed upon them.
