Gwen relaxed a little at Leo's soothing words. "You should all stay, if you ask me, but that's up to you of course!" Sensing peoples emotion was the thing Gwen was best at, and she could sense a hint of suspicion in the one she learned to be Balon's words. Then their 'leader' spoke up. "I agree, you should all stay with us. It'll be fun and we can put all this behind us." Here, too, she could hear uncertainty. She began to squirm; she was feeling uncomfortable, even more so when the red-headed woman spoke directly to her. "I'd love to make up for my very stupid decision of hauling you over here in a net. So if you'd like to stay for dinner, you get extra dessert. And surprisingly, my desserts don't involve insects or their larvae." Great. What was she supposed to say, 'Sorry I don't trust you so I won't come'? Come on, Gwen, think. Amphi spoke up and of course she accepted at the mention of food. Trust her. She began twiddling her fingers, took a deep breath and muttered, "I can't come. I... I... I must meet Queen Helena, but let Poseidon bless you all." Smooth, Gwen. She smiled quickly at Leo and Amphi before walking away and diving into the ocean. Assuming her tentacles again, she swam surprisingly fast. As she swam she prayed, Sorry Helena if you heard my excuse, but it saved my skin. Those humans are dodgy, and I don't want involvement. Gwen swam near the surface, flipping and jumping as she went. She got out at an island, and with a pop, assumed her human legs. She jumped into a hot spring, leaned back and relaxed, shutting her eyes and blocking out everything apart from nature's sounds.
