As regards your Percy question, the question itself is not as commendable as the bekius required to find it. The key difference is the presence of Arthur, as he is the obvious reason she broke off. Also, she doesn’t have to be perfectly consistent, she’s human, after all.
I know, I know, it’s not exactly a rebuttal per se, more kvetching than answering, but some questions can’t be answered with reason.
