 [When the COMP is switched on, you'll see a close up of Athena's face. She was obviously in a good mood.]

Hey hey hey! Guess what everyone! Today I'm officially 19!

It's weird...  I don't feel any older, but I guess that's normal. Would anyone like to hang out today? If anyone is interested, just let me know.

'Kay bye!

[And just like that, she turned the COMP off. Apparently, it's also "throw a policeman at Apollo" day according to tumblr.]

[She's been looking ughhh.]

That would be useful-- hey. Are you saying I'm abusive to my things?

[Don't mind her, she's still happy.]

[hawkattack]

No. Just that your lifestyle calls for some sturdier things.

[cykedfists]

Right... I can't help it if I want to stay in shape...

[hawkattack]

It's not a bad thing. I never was very interested in sports when I was younger, other than martial arts.

[Partly because he got tired of Aura picking on him pretty quickly.]

[cykedfists]

You should go jogging with me sometime.

[Don't do it, Simon. It's a trap.]

[hawkattack]

Not at your speeds.

[He's more for endurance than sprinting.]

[cykedfists]

It's not that bad. Honestly. Why is everyone afraid to jog with me?

[Athena, why do you even have to ask that.]

[hawkattack]

It is that bad.

[cykedfists]

Not really. You guys are just being wimps.

[hawkattack]

[... He just stares at her. Seriously, Athena? You're calling Simon Blackquill a wimp?]

[cykedfists]

[YEAHH... NOT HER BEST ARGUEMENT.]

A-Anyways...

[hawkattack]

[He chuckles a little. So easy to get riled up, Athena.]

[cykedfists]

[Leave her alone.]

It wouldn't kill you guys to do some exercise and actually eat healthy though...

[hawkattack]

[Nope.]

I do, actually. I don't like fast food or sugary snacks.

[cykedfists]

Good. I know Apollo likes to get a lot of easy stuff rather than just cooking.

[hawkattack]

I'm not a particularly skilled chef, but salads and sandwiches aren't exactly difficult.

[cykedfists]

I've got it! How about I cook you dinner someday so that we can actually sit down and talk.

[And have not!family bonding time, but saying that is a little weird.]

[hawkattack]

[Talking why.]

... All right. I can bring over some ingredients.

[He'd feel bad if he didn't at least try to contribute.]

[cykedfists]

[Because they need to.]

Sure! It'll be nice. [She was going to say more but..]

-- To have dinner with family like normal families do.

Ack!

[hawkattack]

[Uh.]

... Heh.

[He's... not even mad, really.]

[cykedfists]

I.. I didn't... mean to say that...

[Yes you did.....]

[hawkattack]

... I don't really mind.

[cykedfists]

[Regardless, she's still a little embarrassed to admit that.]

You're the closest person I have to a family. I'm happy that we can actually talk and see each other again.

[hawkattack]

[... Mrph.]

I'm... glad as well. Aura and I mostly took care of each other when we were younger, but she and I grew apart when we got older. She was the one who introduced me to your mother, though. I'm... very glad she did.

[cykedfists]

[For once, thinking back to her mother wasn't a sad feeling. Instead, she laughed a little.]

So am I. I remember my mom taking you on as an apprentice. I remember disliking you because you took away mom's time from playing with me.
