In this scene from "The Battle of the Labyrinth," Poseidon hears a sound from the narrator's mother, which he interprets as a confirmation to enter. Meanwhile, Paul Blofis, a character in the story, is visibly confused as he looks between Poseidon and the narrator, unsure of what is happening. Eventually, Paul introduces himself, and Poseidon humorously misinterprets his last name as "Blowfish," before realizing it is actually Blofis.

As Poseidon engages in conversation, he expresses enjoyment for his name, comparing it to that of the god of the sea. This light-hearted exchange underscores the surreal interactions occurring in the narrative, reflecting the blend of humor and myth that characterizes Riordan's writing. The dialogue also showcases the characters’ personalities, particularly Poseidon's playful demeanor and Paul's awkwardness.
