"Hah!" Marcie shook her head. "You boys are ridiculous." She let the silence sit for a minute, taking the turns she needed to, thinking things over. Kaden just had very few people in his life who he could truly turn to in a crisis, and she felt special that she was now one of them.
"Kaden's a great kid," she said after a little while. "I hope you know I consider him my friend. If I could adopt him to be my brother, I would." She glanced at Tragos with a smile. "I know you were worried about Aphrodite, and so you know, I've got his back. I'm watching out for him." Not that she thought Aphrodite would do anything, but after Kaden's thing with this girl going too far... well those nymphs were just really damn sexy, and she didn't want him in trouble. It probably wasn't the type of trouble Tragos was thinking of, though.
