Demetri didn’t catch Nancy’s look of pity towards him. Even if he had he more than likely wouldn’t have recognized it as such. He beamed with delight as he heard Zeke’s voice coming from behind him, ignoring both Cassian and Nancy’s comments about moving the quest along as another pang of jealousy hit for a brief moment as he noticed that both he and Janelle had come back at almost similar times. Had they been talking it out? It didn’t appear like they had, or if they did it clearly didn't go too well if they still weren’t talking to each other. He noted that Zeke was wearing a different shirt. Sure the last one got dirty but couldn’t he just have rinsed it out with some water and then dabbed at it with a paper towel? Demi tried not to think too much of it. It was made easier as he felt a brush against his skin and saw Alexios wiping some milkshake off of his face. He looked between him and Zeke, hoping this wouldn’t spark another fight between them, they’d just started to get along together. [color=6666FF]”Thanks mate, but I was saving that for Zeke. Only fair after I snagged a bit of his ice cream earlier right?”[/color] He replied as he let all of that interaction slip off him like water off a duck's back. It didn’t seem that Alexios was going to back off from this bit though, clearly looking to press his boyfriends buttons. It was hard to have to be the one who had to keep their cool and consistently make jokes to help keep the flames down, but it was something Demi was used to. All he did was run away from his problems anyways, so how was this any different?

Demetri wrapped his left arm around Zeke’s waist, pulling him in closer as he used his right hand to wrap around Alexios’ neck like you would a friend. [color=6666FF]”I wouldn’t call me demonstrating you Earth’s lovely customs of dipping fries into shakes sharing, more so a food tax for having done so. Think of it as…[i]my[/i] offering for being so…well awesome!”[/color] He planted a kiss on Zeke’s cheek before pulling away from both of them and sliding each of them their own respective foods to eat, placing the pie he ordered in between Zeke and himself. [color=6666FF]”I’m stealing a bite of that pie I got you Z. After all, ‘One must always share pie.’ “[/color] He said as if a line spoken from another time between them. [color=6666FF]”Now if you’ll excuse me, I would like to finish my burger. You guys can decide which way we go. Party Bus, Train, each is a metal death trap full of monsters that sound equally exhausting. So I'm fine with either way of travel. Unless any of you have some sway with Hecate and can have her just open a portal from here to there, I don't see a point in even discussing it. If the gods want us to succeed we will, if they don’t then we won't. Simple as that.”[/color] Demi r	emarked before taking a large bite out of his burger the had dipped in buffalo sauce.

[i]Finally[/i] someone with some semblance of common sense. Nancy was also willing to see if there were other modes of transportation other than the train they were previously on. She even went as far to ask their new ally if he had any godly way to help them get across the states faster than mortal means. He hadn’t expected Alexios to offer a literal party bus, but it made sense given his divinity. Cassian wondered if the bus had any magical properties to make it move faster than mortal means, or at the very least make it so that they didn’t have to fight monsters every step of the journey, making them slow down even more. He wasn’t aware of Nancy’s fears, as far as he was concerned her greatest weakness was the Lotus Hotel itself. He didn’t think much beyond that, so to him the idea of this bus seemed like…well a godsend. [color=CC00CC]”Alright then, Party Bus sounds like it could be promising. Does it have any defenses against monsters? Does it move faster than a mortal car? Oh and pleaaaase tell me it doesn’t require gas. I don’t think we’d be able to cover the cost of that alone going from here to the other side of the states.”[/color] Cassian rolled his eyes at Demetri as he finally spoke up. It was disgusting how the three of them acted. If he could he would carry a squirt bottle just to spray the pair every time they moved off track from the topics at hand. 

At the very least Demi had provided some form of answer. Even if it was non-committal bullshit. Did no one care about how much time they had to do this? Surely they didn’t expect this quest to drag on for months or more did they? Or was this just how big prophecies were? After all Odysseus’s journey was much longer than anything they’d ever do. So maybe this [i]was[/i] how it was meant to be? Their own odyssey to test their limits and develop their own story of heroism and strife. His tone changed slightly as he thought about it, taking a sip of his drink before continuing. [color=CC00CC]”If the bus doesn’t offer any more aid than the train then I'm on board with sticking to the train. It's small and hard to fight in, but the bus will be as well so we may as well stick to what we’ve already paid for if it makes no difference in the end.”[/color]
