The grin Phobos had only grew upon the recognition of Ares. "I apologize to keep you so long," Phobos replied with complete sincerity. "I did not mean to, I trust you believe this."
Without his father's acknowledgement or waiting his command, Phobos stepped onto the chariot and clapped his father on the shoulder. More times than not, Ares wanted respect. No one just came up on his chariot and Phobos knew he should ask. But the daring danger to do something that wasn't aloud always propelled Phobos forward and for this instance, although Phobos would never admit to it, he may have been slightly excited to see his father again. All of this was evident simply by the smile on Phobos' face and the near purr his lion-like throat issued out.
"You have been busy while I've been gone," Phobos commented, looking at the blood covered horses with his fire filled eyes. "I hope you didn't have too much fun and leave me with nothing."
