I think it's strange, because Percy was pretty much saying Hylla should've been grateful to him by saying you're welcome. What kind of comment is that? I agree with Klimenreal here. Anything could been said at that time. Because when you look at the whole scene it's disturbing.

“You released our captives—Blackbeard and his pirates.” Hylla turned to Hazel. “Have you ever been kidnapped by pirates? It isn’t fun. They burned our spa to the ground. My sister and I were their prisoners for months. Fortunately we were daughters of Bellona. We learned to fight quickly. If we hadn’t…” She shuddered. “Well, the pirates learned torespect us. Eventually we made our way to California where we—” She hesitated as if the memory was painful. “Where my sister and I parted ways.”

She stepped toward Percy until they were nose-to-nose. She ran her dagger under his chin. “Of course, I survived and prospered. I have risen to be queen of the Amazons. So perhaps I should thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Percy said.

The queen dug her knife in a little deeper. “Never mind. I think I’ll kill you.”

See? It's like Percy wasn't give a damn about Hylla and Reyna capturing by pirates and assaulting by them. And he has to nerve to say you're welcome. Hylla said, If She and Reyna weren't learned how to fight they pretty much, well, let's face it, pirates could've r*** and could've done other things to them. I think Hylla pretty much imply that. Because at that time, when she was saying this she was shuddered.

Right after, Hylla felt angry and held her knife in Percy's throat, because apparently she disgusted by her old memories. And the guy who caused all of this standing there just like that, without any angst or without any kind of hint of understanding. He is not give a damn about Hylla's pain and assaulting by the pirates. He wasn't care.

Right after, he even has to nerve to say you're welcome., after Hylla's explanation about the situation about the pirates. And that proved that Percy wasn't really care. Because at that time, he could've said a different thing. Like what Klimean wrote. But he didn't and his comment about Hylla's situation by saying you're welcome without showing any kind of sensibilty is disturbing. That's why it seems strange to me. Because Pjo Percy wasn't like that, and he could cabaple of understanding people. Especially, he himself assaulted by many people when he was young. He could've understand Hylla and Reyna's situation.
