A surprisingly mature view on life. Alex thought to himself, as he ate in silence. Not wanting to agitate Artemis even more. That and he was also starting to think a little. For him it was easy to eat the meat. He didn't know the animal that was turned into his bacon. But he understood that if someone had a deep bond with that animal, as that girl clearly had, then eating meat must feel disgusting. For a split second he considered eating less meat. Sadly, he knew he couldn't keep that up. It tasted too damn good.
When he finished his bacon he put away his plate and went to sit in front of the girl playing with the violin. Both enjoying the slow music and waiting till she was finished playing so he could relay the message from Artemis. As an act to make up for his stupid remark. But soon the music became too enchanting and he was dragged along. He closed his eyes, and formed one of his familiar purple spheres in his hands. Just like the sun, the sphere had darker and lighter spots. Which flowed and danced along with the music, slow but fluid. Jason understood for the very first time in his still young life what the word serene meant. As all the other sounds were blocked out. And he was alone with the beautiful song, the darkness covering his eyes and the flow of energy throughout his body. Emulated by the sphere in front of him.
