[Look blame Athena, she's the one who picked the date. He's pretty sullen about the whole thing, too, given how that went.]

Kinda didn't get a lot of time. [At least he looks guilty about it and he's owning up to it now.] Athena picked the date and the three of us headed for the shrine. Merlin magic'd up some flowers in a bouquet as an offering but Occidi didn't like that because they were dead flowers that were cut at the stems. She shriveled them up...and Athena got mad. And Occidi got mad at us for assuming that she needed our help. [He looks at his feet instead.]

I didn't want to assume anything. I wanted to talk to her because we were told she was the one who was interested in peace while the Bridge was chaos. Shouldn't peace know about pending chaos?
