Making Connections (week 6)

Percy: Hey, how’s it going?

Annabeth: Uh, no thanks.

Percy: Okay…have you eaten anything today?

Annabeth: I think Leo is on duty. Ask him.

Percy: So, my hair is on fire.

Annabeth: Okay. In a while.

I think I'm not the only one whose gone through this. When I talk to someone busy they either,(1) don't respond,(2) respond far from the topic. When they don't response I feel like I'm talking to a dead person, if they response far from the topic I feel like I'm talking to another person.
