Nancy seemed just as shocked as Demetri was when he'd heard the news. He couldnt tell if she was surprised by the sudden announcement or if her surprise was towards the fact the he was with a god. She clearly never had much of a good idea of Demi, not so much as giving him the time of day unless Zeke was around and practically made it happen. So to think that she'd find his bethrothal to a god not only shocking, but humorous, and an impossibility was likely  within her reach. Once the threats started coming out however, Demetri held his hands up in surrender. [color=6666FF]"Don't look at me, I had no idea until after Alexios was told. My last meeting with Aphrodite kind of dropped the news on both of us at the same time. Like he said, Zeus and Aphrodite made some sort of pact we aren't privy to and now we're betrothed."[/color] He took a step back, hands still up for a moment before he shoved them down into his pants pockets. He'd never wilingly put Zeke through any of this torment that he was currently going through, between Janelle, his sexual awakening, and now this sudden betrothal, Demetri wouldn't wish this on anybody. He couldn't help but feel responsible for it all though. He'd read enough Greek Tragedies to know how love usually ended in them. If the gods deemed it worthy enought to meddle in (and they clearly did for them) then it was full of hurdles, tricks, and turns that would test the couples limits of their relationships. Most ended in tragedy, in one form or another, and Demetri couldnt quite tell which of the two scenarios would be worse to him; if Zeke was the one that lived and had to deal with the fall out of it all, or if he was the one to perish because of a mistake Demi made. He tried to push those thoughts away as he focused back onto the conversation just in time to hear the cashier call his order out. Saved by the King. [color=6666FF]"Thats my cue, you four get acquainted while I go get our food and order something for Alexios. K? k."[/color]

Demetri peeled away from the growingly awkward conversation and dark thoughts as he made his way towards the counter. He let out a heavy sigh with a face of dread before wiping it all clean and plastering on a smile for the Burger King employee. [color=6666FF]"Sorry mate, mind if I add another order? Friend over there decided he was actually a bit peckish. Just a small chocolate shake and small fries please?"[/color] He grabbed the tray before him, lifting it carefully to ensure that he didnt drop it as he made his way back over towards the table, sliding the tray down towards the wall end as he slid in after it, placing his bag to his immediate left to save a space for Zeke in the event that Alexios got any ideas of trying to snag that seat. He handed out the food for each of them before gingerly picking up a fry, inspecting it, and then taking a small bite before flashing Alexios a closed mouth smile. [color=6666FF]"Got your food order put in mate, shouldn't take too long as I didn't order much. Not quite sure what you like or if you care for spicy food or even greasy food, I did however get you a classic that never seems to fail."[/color] He flashed the god a cheeky smile before looking back over his shoulder. What was taking Zeke so long? Surely he'd managed to clean the icecream all off by now? Demi felt a pit inside his stomach, worried that perhaps Zeke was using this time to process it all. Looking himself in the mirror as he decided whether or not to end things with Demetri. And who could blame him? Demi certainly wouldn't. It'd hardly been a day and look at how much he'd already royally fucked up his life. Perhaps they were best left to be frenemies that hid their feelings in the halls of the infirmary lost in the pages of books during those warm summer days. He let out another, softer, sigh as the employee came back with the rest of his order and called it out. Demetri slunk himself out of his seat, grabbing the pair of items before heading back and handing them to Alexios. [color=6666FF]"Here. Chocolate Shake and fries. You take this, put it here, and then..."[color] Demi demonstrated as he dipped a fry into the shake before pulling it out and taking a bite.

The girls seemed to be taking the news about as well as the boys had. Which is to say with shock and awe as they tried to wrap their minds around the idea that good ol' Demetri seemed to have somehow managed to bag a god. Cassian was more than certain that this wasn't some sort of boon or favor of the gods however. If anything this was more likely to be a punishment by the god of gods and ruler of the skies. Why? Cassian didn't know. Anything could have pestered Zeus, or even Aphrodite for that matter. The more he thought on it the more it made sense. The way the goddess might be seeing it is that Demi meddled in her affairs when he won over Zeke instead of Janelle. Janelle now full of heartache could of caught the attention of the goddess while Demi caught her ire. So she meddled in with his life, making his powers go haywire for a moment which of course would catch the attention of Zeus who then demands her to stop but given she is older this little matter had to be settled in a way that they both win. Demi gets to marry a god and have one to aid them along in their quest against a titan and Aphrodite gets to cause further strife by introducing in a third party member to help meddle in the love affairs of the two young demi-gods. Its a win win. Cassian was a bit proud of his potential deduction as Demi got up and left to grab their food. Cassian turned to Nancy and Kristin as he mouthed to them [i]Is everything ok?[/i] Before motioning with his head towards the ladies room that Janelle had gone off to. He wasn't expecting them to give a full answer, but he hoped that he could at the very least manage to get a yes or no to help him see just how long this quest is going to end up being.

Demi came back with the food and Cass simply gave him his thanks as he took his shake and fries. He wrapped both hands around the sides of his cup, pulling it closer to himself as he took a sip from his shake and smiled. While Cassian normally preffered the sweet taste of fresh fruits or honey, there was an oddly satisfying taste to some artificial flavours, especially when it came to milk shakes. He took another sip, thinking back towards him as he recalled the days he and his mother would travel out to town and get some Steak and Shake. Now [i]those[/i] were some rediculous flavours. His favorite being the cotton candy. He was quiet for a while, hardly noticing when Demi left the second time. Cassian rolled his eyes before taking a bite of his own fries. [color=CC00CC]"Yes yes Demi got himself another beau. Can we move past this and figure out what the next step in our plan is? As lovely as this train ride has been, it seems to be moving at a slower rate than any of us would care to go. We need a faster option, something that can get us over towards the other half of the U.S. as quickly as possible. Surely there's [i]something[/i] we could take? Some quick mythical beast to ride or something."[/color]
