In chapter 12, Grover faces a conflict between his desire to find Pan and his responsibilities to Annabeth and Percy.
The text tells us that Grover's main goal is to look for the god Pan. However, in order to do that, he must prove his mettle as a keeper. In the book, a keeper is one who safeguards those who need protection. For his part, Grover has already failed twice as a keeper. He failed to secure Thalia's safety many years ago, and he also failed to bring Percy safely to Camp Half-Blood.
In order to earn his searcher's license, Grover must make sure that both Percy and Annabeth return safely from their mission. Essentially, every satyr must earn the right to become a searcher for Pan. However, not all satyrs succeed in earning this privilege, however. As a result, Grover is conflicted. His real desire is to search for the God of Wild Places and to wake him up from his sleep. Grover believes that the return of Pan will restore the earth to its former pristine glory.
However, he must make sure that he is not distracted by his inclinations. In other words, he must make sure that Annabeth and Percy are his first priority, rather than Pan.
