It would have been really easy to be seduced by Aphrodite's soft hands on his cheeks, and her words, calling him a hero. But something about her thanks didn't sit right. Thank you for bringing her to me. He couldn't help but think about how the gods all treated Luna, like she was a package to be delivered as well.
"I don't want a reward, thanks," he said, shaking his head. Didn't want to end up complicit in anything really... Gross. But he smiled at her anyway, hoping she wouldn't take it badly.
He caught Ares looking at him and tried not to look suspicious, giving the huge man a grin. He didn't want to believe the worst but hey, the worst kept happening, didn't it? Be stupid to pretend it couldn't, and might not be such a bad idea to come off a little gormless. He stepped away from Aphrodite and offered Marcie his arm, since she sounded like she was close to passing out again. He was glad he was here.
