However Annabeth did say that Percy and thalia would either be best friend or bitter rivals. They yes it took them abit but they grow into their natural role in the friendship. they respect each other to the point that Thalia was willing to let percy led the demigod army in LO without questioning him. A factor that you have not include was that where Percy and Thaila did not much about each other till they met, Percy and Jason have heard stories about the great Jason Grace and the great Percy Jackson that they might have to prove themsevels to each other.
