"I do. It's always odd, feeling like I know someone, even though I don't. I don't buy into that whole 'blip in the matrix' or whatever the conspiracy theorists have to say about it these days, but I can't help shake the feeling that, even if I don't know someone, I should. And lately, I've been having it more and more often. But for the life of me, I can't tell if it's because I'm getting older and losing my mind, or something else. A smell, a sound, something we don't even realize we're sensing that triggers something we don't even remember. After all, humans only use what? Ten percent of their brains?" Granted, Ares wasn't human, but they didn't know that.
He winked at blondy, Andrei, his normal arrogant grin on his face. He wondered if the man would think he was trying to flirt with him. Funny though that would be, he hoped not. He didn't think the grumpy one would like it, and Ares wasn't particularly interested. Unlike the rest of his family, he'd never had much interest in males.
