In the scene from "The Mark of Athena," Frank begins to unpack his backpack, revealing various souvenirs he collected from his trip to Atlanta. Among the items are peach preserves, T-shirts, a snow globe, and some novelty handcuffs that are not authentically Chinese. His excitement is evident as he shares these little treasures with the group.

Annabeth, however, feels a growing sense of frustration and urges Frank to recount the events leading up to his souvenirs instead of just showcasing them. She wants to understand the story behind his findings, indicating that there is more to his adventure than just the items he brought back. This illustrates the difference in their focus, with Annabeth seeking depth while Frank is caught up in the fun of his acquisitions.
