Athena had weaselled her way out of the meeting with Uhtred and Alfred about the brothers, quickly getting away. She was not in the mood to get an earful from the King.

Instead, she found herself outside of the Ale house with Finan, playing drinking games.

The ambiance envelops them like a warm embrace, with laughter dancing through the air, creating a symphony of joy under the moonlit sky.

The aroma of ale weaves through the gentle breeze, adding a touch of merriment to the tranquil scene, blending with the laughter to form a harmonious melody of relaxation and camaraderie.

Athena raised her hand slightly, council her hand as she closed one eye, aiming for the cup in front of Finan.

With a flick of her wrist, she threw the coin towards his cup, only to miss. Athena let out a groan in defeat, leaning back in her seat. "I thought your aim was better?" Finan jested, making her narrow her eyes.

"It is." Athena sat back up, leaning on the table as Finan grabbed the coin. "You are merely distracting me." She shrugged her shoulders with a narrowed stare.

Finan chucked at that, aiming the coin in his hand. "Aye, with my charming look?" He raised his brow, making Athena scoff.

"Keep telling yourself that." Athena sniggered, leaning her chin on her palm with a slight smile. "Now, throw the coin." She instructed, pointing to her cup.

Finan grinned at her comment, shaking his head with an amused look as he aimed the coin towards the cup, and successfully landing it inside the cup.

Athena rolled her eyes at Finan's victory, grabbing her cup and chugging the ale, careful not to swallow the coin.

Athena puffed out her cheeks slightly, placing her cup on the table and sticking the coin between her lips with a grin. "Athena, there you are." Athena quickly turned her head at the voice, looking over to see a flushed Melusine.

"Where else would I be?" Athena asked with a grin, holding the coin in her hand as she placed it on the table.

Melusine slowly nodded her head in agreement, looking down at the pair. "True." She uttered, her eyes flickering between the pair. "Anyway, I have something to say!"

Athena raised her brows as Melusine held onto her arm, an excited grin on her face. Athena raised her brow slightly, analysing the woman in front of her.
