"I apologize, my lady." The descendent of Rhoecus said quietly, holding the phone up to his ear.

"What happened, Rhoecus Younger? Certainly you couldn't have lost sight of her. She has bright red hair, and a stare that could give my little Aphrodite worries." Hera said on the other end of the phone call. Though the signal was strong, the boy had trouble hearing her, though he imagined it was entirely because Hera was simply holding the phone wrong. Again.

"She... dumped quite a few frozen treats into the ocean and then she was gone." The boy grimaced, trying not to laugh as he remembered it.

"Bribery." Hera huffed, drumming her manicured nails lightly along the bronze throne. "Well, let's hope she doesn't turn you into an animal, my little dove. You're going to the island while she is there to deliver the gift."

"It will be done, my lady." The boy confirmed. He managed to find a ride thanks to a brave boatsman, willing to cart the ten peacocks and rather large boxed item, without asking too many questions. He watched the island come into view, growing nervous. He had faith that Hera would protect him, as she did when he was a small child. He gently touched the tattoo on his shoulder, watching with interest as fish swam along the sides of the boat.

Tes was mindful not to blow smoke in the faces of her companions. Someone approached her to tell her to put out her cigarette, but she glanced over and gave a small wave and grin. Usually once people recognized her, she got away with everything but murder. The man hesitated but pretended not to notice the scent of tobacco and clove that was heavy in the air as he walked away.

"Sure!" Tes hummed. "I'm starved. Do you know any restaurants around here? It can be my treat." She offered. Then she hesitated as she put her cigarette out on her palm before dumping in it a trashcan once it was cooled off. She looked at the mark on her hand before ignoring it and heading towards the exit, fully expecting the other two to follow. "So, outskirts of Athens, eh?" She said. "Oh! Hey, Eun, how's that brother of yours?"

The dark haired male seemed to be absentmindedly playing with his glove as one of the men approached Tes to probably tell her about putting the cigarette out considering that they were inside an airport. However, he seemed to have hesitated and moved on. Demitrius looked up once more when Tes asked about any restaurants around town. He let out a chuckle before turning to Eun. "I don't eat out all that much. You know anything?" By 'all that much', he really meant never. Nothing beats home cooking.

"Ah, but my mom's preparing some food back at home." He decided to point out. If anything, he didn't want any of his mother's food to go to waste. That and he didn't want to have to eat feast food for three more days. That's just how things work out at his home. Leftover food is meant to be eaten after all so they just eat it everyday until it was all gone. Of course, he had instinctively followed the girl as she began to walk. "And yeah, it's best that we're not too close from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to trade." It was the most ideal position. It was good that they were able to grow crops so near to Athens; they certainly were blessed by their beloved deity.

Demitrius's eyes sparkled at the mention of a brother. "You have a brother Eun?" He asked excitedly. "Oh! He can come with us for lunch too! If... he's not doing anything that is." He quickly added the last part as to not seem too pushy though he doubted that they would mind. Right?

Eun watched curiously as the other woman smoked, her expression rather still. She wasn't a fan of those who did smoke, but at least Tes had to decency not to puff smoke everywhere right? Not to mention that this did little to tarnish how the younger girl thought of the other; it was freaking Tessa for crying out loud! Eun-Ha's expression did however brighten as food was mentioned.
"I don't eat out much myself, but I have heard that the Mani Mani Restaurant has quite to array of dishes." She answered Demitrius as she clasped her hands behind her.

Hearing that Demitrius' mother was preparing food as they were speaking, Eun nodded slowly in understanding. She herself preferred homemade food since she could never afford the pricier stuff.
"If that's the case, might it be ideal to settle at Demitrius' home to feast instead? What do you think Ms. Tessa?" She questioned, as she was now following beside the raven haired boy. She listened on to what they were saying, mostly about where Demitrius lived, before her brother was suddenly brought up.

A sheepish smile formed on the girl's lips as she scratched the back of her head.
"Chan is doing quite alright, thank you for asking. He'll be grateful to hear about your safe arrival." She answered Tes first before turning to Demitrius and placing a finger on her chin in thought. "If I am not mistaken, my brother Chan is still in school right now. So unfortunately he'll be unable to join us at the moment. Hopefully you understand." She concluded with a kind nod of her head. Of course she regretted leaving her brother out of all of the fun, but fortunately, once school let out, he'd be more free to possibly spend time with them.

Circe held the map, frowning. Navigating these modern cities was nightmarish. Once upon a time, the entire population of Greece could fit inside a single district of the capital. Now, Athena's own city had swelled to unrecognizable levels. And she still didn't know how to use those cellphone gizmos, which she thought it was the reason why people didn't get lost.

She briefly considered doing magic divination to find her way quickly, but she refrained to do so. Magic could potentially draw a lot of unwanted attention. The old witch simply resigned to finding her way in the traditional way: Asking a locale. She found her victims readily. There was a mixed group of youths whose members did look foreign alongside a young local man.

<"Excuse me."> She said in a fluent but slightly odd and archaic greek. <"Do you know where this place is supposed to be?"> She pointed at the map, readily, as she focused her gaze on Demitrius.

Wait. Wasn't one of them that Salem Cult leader upstart? She thought as she sideglanced at one of the women there. Well, she didn't have for this. She was on her way for a business meeting.

Demitrius sighed, "Aw, too bad. Next time, perhaps Chan can join us?" Well, that was, if his school didn't end early. Maybe he could help pick him up for Eun? It was the least he could do for her entertaining him with her music every time he was at the main city. He had a car anyway, might as well use it. Unless his father had something for him to do, then he wouldn't be able to do anything.

That was when his ears perked up to the different language another person was speaking. He quickly turned his head to the woman. Her fiery red eyes and exotic look quickly caught his attention. There was something about her that made him feel odd but he quickly dismissed the feeling. Her choice of wording was odd - a rather old version of the Greek language. It didn't matter much to him, though, as he could still understand it. Studying about the olden days did this.

<"Of course."> He replied, trying his best to not sound very awkward when it came to speaking the old language. He then looked at the point she was pointing at. He then looked up from the map before pointing down the street. <"Turn left at the next intersection, go straight for about two blocks, turn right again and just go straight from there. You should be able to see it."> It was a good thing he practiced talking in it. There were some words that weren't in use anymore but at least it was a little similar so it didn't take a whole lot of practicing to get it right.

Tes stared openly for a moment at the woman who approached them, even going so far as to push her sunglasses into the wild curls of her hair. For once, the determinate and self-assured look in her eyes faltered as she watched Circe speak in a tongue she did not know, yet felt vaguely familiar with. A slight tinge of red grew across her cheeks as she realized she had dazed out. Hastily, she pulled her large sunglasses back over her eyes, hoping the woman did not catch that expression. Now uncertain of what to do with her hands, she stuffed them in the pockets of her shorts, trying to comprehend what it was about that woman that had flustered her so easily.

Working in the entertainment industry as long as she did, she had some pretty racy moments on camera that didn't make her bat an eye, but this woman simply spoke and caused Tes to blush like a school girl. She glanced about the area, before narrowing her eyes and looking at Circe once again.

She wondered if it was some sort of glamor ritual, but disregarded the thought almost immediately and settled on rummaging through her bag. She pulled out the business card for her agent, an all black card with a pink phone number embossed on it. The phone number was a private line, inaccessible to anyone who had no been given it directly. She handed it to Eun with a little wink. "Before I forget." She whispered. "Just call that when you're ready to come to America and get in our industry."

Eun looked to Demitrius with a relief smile, happy that the other wasn't deterred by the fact that Chan wouldn't be able to make it. Well, there was also the fact that Chan...wasn't exactly the most sociable; she honestly feared that the other's analytical ways and blunt way of speaking would drive off her new friends. But she would never say something like that out loud...

Before she had a chance to thank the boy again for the offer, a woman had approached Demitrius. Although her appearance made it quite noticeable, the woman had been speaking in a different language, one that Eun has heard before but couldn't follow in normal conversation. As she left the raven haired boy to do his this and seemingly assist the other, the blonde's gaze moved over to Tes...who was acting rather strangely.
"U-Um, pardon, Miss Tessa? Are you alright?" She whispered as not to pull any attention towards her. Instead of answering her question, Tes handed the girl a card, in which she bowed slightly before receiving. "Th-Thank you! I'll be sure to do so! P-Promise!" She responded politely before bringing her attention back to Demitrius, wondering if he had finished the conversation or not.

Circe eyed the young man sagely. Her hand reflexively went up to her chin as she took in the information with a slight frown, a tiny bobbing nod in acknowledgement. <"Thank you."> She said as she helped herself to grab the map once again. That had been helpful. The old witch thought for a second, as she folded the map and bid her goodbye. She started to walk away with firm pace, but no sooner she had walked five steps, her eyes drifted around to the gathered group, specially the one she assumed to be the leard.

"An advice for an advice, o young ones." She said in perfect English. "Do not invoke the gods needlessly. For their wills are unfathomable and fickle." She added as once again she turned her back on the group, her goal set to negotiate the purchase of her island once again. She was a little short of time...

Tes's shoulders stiffened and she was suddenly standing much taller with discomfort. As quickly as the nervousness showed on her face, it was gone, replaced by her signature lazy smile. She clamped a hand down on Demitrius's shoulder, but she looked fondly at Eun.

"I'm fine. I tend to get that look on my face occasional, 'happens whenever I pop my back." Tes winked at the much shorter girl and gave a little sly grin. "Let's head out. I'm dying to taste the Regas home cooking." She admitted. Her eyes, still partially shaded by the sunglasses, drifted back to where Circe had disappeared to. Her warning settled uneasily in her stomach but she ignored it. Surely it was only benevolence the gods held when invoked for the right reasons. A sacrifice was made. Something was claimed. Invoking was just like a business transaction. Nothing more. Right?

Still... Tes clicked her tongue a bit unhappily as her easy grin faltered for a moment. She shook her head, mostly to clear her thoughts. "Let's split. We're starting a crowd. Lead the way, Dem'." Tes jerked her thumb in the direction of a few American tourists who had spotted the witch and the tiny gathering.

Demitrius nodded at the red haired female. However, the next words to escape her mouth sent chills down his spine. First off, it was because she could speak perfect English - even though she had approached them speaking archaic Greek, something even Tes and Eun didn't understand. Secondly, it was because of her warning. While he was sure that Tes was rather famous because of her reputation, how could she easily deduce that they were up to something? All of them?

He tensed up when Tes placed a hand on his shoulder but soon relaxed as he turned towards her and nodded. "Y-Yeah, let's go." The dark haired male said with a rather forced grin before starting to move towards the direction of his pickup truck. The woman's warning was stuck in his mind and it replayed over and over again. Studying the legends of old, one begins to see a pattern - the gods and goddesses had both good and evil within them. That much was clear. But... would they really be in so much trouble should they call upon them? His family had always prayed to Demeter and nothing bad happened to them.

Demitrius shook his head as he inserted his keys into the truck and entered. "Hop on in guys! You can put the luggage at the back." He said before climbing inside and starting the engine.

Just as it seemed like the conversation between the two had ended, with the woman walking away, she suddenly stopped and turned to face their small group now speaking in English. Why go through the trouble of speaking a different language if she could have just stuck with English. This seemed to put Eun on edge as she tensed up, clasping her hands together tightly.

What came out of the woman's mouth was a little unsettling. Don't invoke the gods needlessly? But, from what she understood, the gods and goddesses relished in the prayers of those that believed in them; would calling upon them really be a negative in the eyes of others? Eun thought that she knew the answer, but after that encounter, she couldn't be too sure.

Looking up when Tes clapped a hand over Demitrius' shoulder, Eun let out a sigh of relief. It was best to let the warning play in the back of her thoughts for now, she wouldn't want to appear rude in front of Demitrius' family.

The small group quickly made their way over to Demitrius' truck. She had opted on keeping her guitar to her side as she opened the door to the back seat and climbed in, her expression excited since she was about to meet new people, but also a little scared as she couldn't stop thinking about that odd confrontation.
<"Definitely strange..."> She mumbled in Korean as she placed a hand on her chin.
