"Hmm. Hera won't like this." Apollo said, scratching his chin. "Mortals, okay, demigods, at the summer solstice council? Mmm-mmm."
"Definitely." added Zeus. "All the more reason to let her come."
"No disrespect intended, but you just like annoying her, don't you?" I replied.
"None taken. You're right, actually." he said with a small smirk. "I vote in favor of her coming." he added, turning to Apollo.
"Agreed. I don't like your wife that much anyway."
"Why, thank you."
"So I can come?" I asked, interrupting their dis-the-wife fest.
"Indeed." Zeus & Apollo replied in unison.
"Thank you!" I called over my shoulder as I bounced out of the throne room. Mission accomplished. Now for more sleuthing.
