[what is fast food.... though the cockatrice seems to be a speedy enough to qualify as 'fast', though Diana is immediately Concerned at the idea that Percy might be planning on eating the cockatrice??? don't do that percy... or maybe do?? MAYBE IT'S EDIBLE??? who knows
The rest of what he says is perfectly understandable though, so Diana hefts up her shield a little higher, plants her foot into the dirt, then -- while waiting for the right moment Percy's distraction can afford her (this boy's skill with the sword is nothing to sneeze at, especially since he's apparently doing all this without looking directly at the cockatrice??) -- she takes a deep breath and
slings her shield like a frisbee towards the cockatrice
who is hopefully still occupied with trying to eat Percy and won't notice what hits it, literally.]
