Ivy regarded Aphrodite with a curt nod, trying her best to not act as if all of these voyeurs had not been intruding upon an extremely private moment. She stood in front of the group and addressed them clearly and confidently.
"Where I was and what I did there is none of your concern. Nothing happened. I'm fine. Don't ask me about it."

"No." interrupted Ivy in an icy tone. "Goodbye."
Without waiting for any objections, Ivy walked straight towards Kyo and Carolyn. Hastening to let her through unhindered, the two stepped to the side and the group watched her leave, a confused and awkward silence settling over them.
