@TimidNobleCrown You’d get along with y-…my brother. {A slip of the tongue, one she hopes the teen didn’t register.} Would you like to come with me to one of his shows?
@SerpentineStone That may be true, but did you ever think about the possibility he has never found you because of my actions? I need to always stay two steps ahead of him.
Also Athena being weary of getting close to anyone because of her father, which is also why she is so serious all the time. She’s hard to read on purpose.
@SerpentineStone My father doesn’t forget. {Still, she pulls away from the woman. Exhaling a sigh as she lowers her spear.} I do not like this arrangement any more than you do, but it’s the only way to keep you and the child safe.
