A few days pass, and when I'm done work I make an uninvited visit to the house of the gods.
"Lady Abbey!" Altair meets me in the foyer, surprised by my presence.
"Uh, hey...sorry for just showing up out of the blue."
"Aww...you came all the way here but Scorpio's not home."
"O-oh, okay. Well, just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I guess I'll just leave"
"Abbey?" Dui calls me from the staircase.
"Oh...hi." I greet.
"I was just about to have some tea. Won't you join me?" Dui asks politely.
I stammer. "U-um...are you sure?"
"Of course." Dui nods. "Altair, do you think you could make some tea for us?"
Altair is delighted by the task. "Sure! I'll make it right away!"
I follow Dui to the living room and take a seat on one of the large sofa's. Feeling overwhelmed by the luxurious furniture, I fidget my hands in my lap.
However, no sooner do I just start to relax to relax Ichthys appears. For some reason, he's carrying tea and some delicious-looking snacks.
"Long time no see. Doing well?" He kindly asks.
"Hey, Ichthys." I give a little wave.
"Hm...? What happened to Altair?" Dui asks.
Ichthys smiles. "Oh, he had to do something."
Setting down the tea set, Ichthys begins to pour the tea.
"Here you go." He says handing me a steaming teacup.
I nod and take the delicate cup. "Thank you." I watch as Ichthys lays out some of the snacks and I chuckle. "That reminds me, gods don't get hungry, right?"
One of the snacks being a cherry pie that Ichthys lays out before Dui.
"I realized that eating helps us recover energy, though." Dui says happily as picking up a cherry.
"Yeah, Scorpio's been eating nothing but apples lately." Ichthys comments.
I stop myself before taking a sip of tea. "What?"
Dui adds in. "But he always demands them to be cut in a certain way. I feel bad for Altair."
They can't seriously mean Scorpio wants his apples to be cut into rabbits?
I quietly chuckle to myself as the thought of Scorpio actually liking something of the sorts.
"There's something in your hair, Abbey." Ichthys says. "I'll get it."
"Huh? Oh...uh, thanks." I murmur.
Ichthys then touches my hair and I suddenly hearing an snap echo through the room.
When I expect to see Scorpio, instead see that Ichthys is gone and a smiling Altair takes his place. Weirdly, I look at Altair and glance around the room trying to figure out where the snap came from.
"So, did you come to see Scorpio?" Dui suddenly asks.
"Uh...yeah." I reply, still looking around the room. "I know I wasn't summoned but, I just wanted to talk to him."
Dui slightly tilts his head. "Hmm...you don't...like Scorpio, do you, Abbey?"
As I sip my tea and hear the words that Dui just asked I gasp, causing the tea to go down the wrong and I cough hysterically.
