Leo knows Frank does not like him, and Leo is intimidated by him. So why make a joke at his expense if you know he does not like you? You know he wouldn't take kindly to it. The price thing by the way like Leo or not (which Frank is clearly or not) is something ever demigod is sensitive about.

Besides you are yet to pay homage to the fact that Leo was deliberately trying to steal his girlfriend. Or Leo was just trying to lighten up the mood. Leo made those jokes to show that he wasn't afraid of Frank. Leo was trying to laugh WITH Frank, because if Leo was trying to laugh AT Frank, would the rest of the Seven really be laughing? No. And the thing is guys Leo insulted Frank in front of the Seven(unintentionally) right? So if the Seven thought Frank was getting "bullied" which he wasn't. Why didn't they do something? Sure they were busy, but people like Jason, Piper, Percy, Annabeth, and Hazel are those kind of people who would drop everything for a friend. But why didn't they help? Exactly, that's because they KNOW it wasn't intentional or they thought Frank would take it, which is the same mistake Leo did. This proves that it was Frank sensitive personality taking it too hard. Sometimes CTB, people is GOING to get you back, if they were ever mean to you first. I doubt that was Leo anyway. Also, Frank was pretty just ASKING for some insults for bringing up that Chinese trap thing into a serious discussion. I know it doesn't make Leo "insult" any better but still...Also, I just want to quote something from MOA from Leo POV..

Leo remembered what Hazel had said-that his fire made him nervous. He'd seen the discomfort in Frank's face before, but Leo hadn't taken it seriously. Frank seemed way more powerful and scary than he was.

See, Leo didn't intentionally try to hurt Frank, because if Jason or Piper or Percy can take his jokes, why can't "big" "scary" Frank? Leo had never noticed Frank discomfort. Because of the whole ADHD doesn't always make you focus and make non observant at times. See, THAT's why I said Leo ADHD played a big role in this. I don't see how you can take this to bullying? And the fact that Halo and CTB, saw it like that, the two smartest guys I know...I just don't see it.

CTB, you actually believe Leo was moving on to his girl? Look, dude, with the whole Sammy thing all the seemingly awkward moments and seemingly "flirting" was unavoidable. Leo sincerely said that he never wanted to make trouble between Hazel and Frank. And even if Leo is a class clown, he has a rep for being sincerely honest. Even Medea had seen that in him in Lost Hero.
