"Good morning, Aphrodite. Has Adonis woken up yet?"

"For the love of the Celestials! Let it go, Sprite." I chuckled and sat down at the table. "Phastos, I didn't see you last night at the feast. I missed having someone with common sense next to me."

"More like us trying to knock some common sense into you, Aphrodite." Makkari smirked and I threw a berry at her. "Rude."

"I don't need common sense. If anything, Ikaris needs it more than I do." I smirked and he threw food at me. "Hey! I'm eating that, by the way."

"Why is it that every time we eat together, Ikaris and Vena start arguing?" Thena sighed and I shrugged.

"Because it's fun!" Kingo exclaimed and smirked. "Ah, Adonis finally woke up! Good morning, Adonis!"

"Kingo, that's enough." Ajak scolded and smiled when Druig sat next to me. "What is everyone doing today?"

"Vena and I are spending the day by the market." Makkari signed and I nodded throwing two small bags at Sersi.

"Please?" I asked and she nodded changing the contents into coins before throwing them back at me. "I owe you how much?"

"This time, I'll let it slide, Aphrodite." She smirked and I groaned. "Oh, please. It was cute!"

"If you all are done, I'd appreciate it." Druig mumbled and I rolled my eyes hugging his arm for a few seconds. "Good morning, beautiful Vena."

"Good morning, Druig." I smiled and watched as Sprite gagged. "If you know what's good for you, shut up."

"Did I miss something important last night? It feels like I did." Phastos called out and we all laughed.

"It was Druig's turn to tell them a story." Ajak said and Phastos whined.

"And I missed it!? Tell me he was talking about Vena or else I'm losing it."

"Yes, Phastos. We all think he was talking about Vena. He called her Aphrodite and told them a story about how a mortal called Adonis fell for her, but felt like he wasn't worthy of her love because she was a goddess and everyone on Olympus was in love with her." Ajak explained and I banged my head on the table repeatedly. "But he did add something special to her diety."

"Goddess of beauty and what else, Adonis?" Phastos joined in and Druig sighed placing a hand on my forehead so I could stop hitting the table with it.

"Love, beauty and victory." Thena butted and smirked at us. "And I think that's enough teasing for now. Or else I'll be forced to let Vena talk about how Ikaris hasn't grown a pair of balls yet."

"He hasn't!" I exclaimed.

"Vena, not now." Ajak said and stifled a laughter.

"Fine! But I didn't hear the story about Adonis because somebody was being overly annoying last night and talking about who knows what." I pointed my knife to Kingo who shrugged.

"That was the best story ever! I can't believe you missed it!" Sprite exclaimed.

"Blame Kingo, not me!" I scoffed and turned to Druig. "You'll tell me later, when I get back from the market? Please?"
