As Athanasia moved around the room to get things ready while her Ntanta worked on Aea's hair. Athanasia remembered earlier that morning when she showed up at her home, the look in Aea's eyes was a story untold and one that Asia was unsure Aea was willing to tell. Asia would not push her though, instead she pulled her inside and the day has been a flurry of getting cleaned up and fed. She remembered how much Aea ate of the rabbits, so she made sure to have the cook make both breakfast and lunch large enough that it could feed her brothers easily. When Aea's hair was fully dry, was when Ntanta started her brushing. Today had been a fun day so far with her fun as they ate and talked. Athanasia was pulled from the memory when Aea jumped at a snag, drawing her attention. 'Forgive me,' she said quietly to Ntanta and Athanasia smiled. Nothing to forgive, dear. I apologize, that one was hiding from me.' Ntanta had replied just as quietly. One thing that Aea could not see was her smile, if there was one thing that Athanasia's Ntanta loved, it was taking care of people. That was why she was a Ntanta. It was an old argument when Asia tries to find out her name, not even her own mater would tell her as she stated, 'Your Ntanta doesn't want you to know her name yet till you're older.' It was an old argument and one that Asia had given up on trying to find out. One day, when Athanasia is older and married and Ntanta doesn't view her as one of her charges, she planned to learn her real name and planned to pay her back for all her kindness. She really was a great one, patient as a mountain... most days.

Her own smile grew as Aea leaned back and relaxed as Ntanta continued brushing. Aea's hair caught the light similar to water at night as the strands smoothed out. It gave Asia a chance to take in the girl's features as she was relaxed and serene under Ntanta's skilled bushings as she moved around her. Athanasia knew that if Ntanta kept brushing, she could very well put Aea to sleep, but sadly they had things to do this night. If she takes up her offer, maybe they could find that out one night to see if she would be able to relax enough to fall asleep to her hair being brushed. Asia knew that she succumbed to it many times growing up. She couldn't be the only one, right? Aea drew her attention again when she suddenly tensed a little, biting her lip. Did Ntanta find another knot? Looking over at the older woman, she shook her head, knowing what Athanasia's question was. There were no more knots in Aea's hair that got snagged. This knot was something that Aea would have to work through herself, unless she asked for help. The silence broke as Ntanta declared, 'There. All done.' and moved Aea's hair over her shoulder so she could see it and admire just how silky smooth and soft her hair was compared to the wild mane she had before. Not that it was crazy or fizzy before, but before one might mistake her for one of the legendary amazonians. A fierce warrior who would take down anyone on sight.

Standing back in front of her, it was easy to see what style would suit her face and stay out of her eyes before moving back around. After advising Ntanta on what style, things seemed to move quickly from there before Athanasia handed Aea the red silk fabric as she offered her opinion on what she thought would look best. If Aea didn't want it, Asia would not have forced it though. So as she moved about and gathered things up that they would need once they were dressed completely, Athanasia paused as Aea spoke. 'I think I know nothing of complexions, nor whatever an exomie style is, but that I trust your judgement in matters of aesthetic.' Her smile softened as she moved before Aea, "And I thank you for your trust." Those words were loaded, meaning so much more than just a thank you for the style trust, she knew that if Aea didn't trust her at all, she wouldn't have been there at all. "Pin the cloth here, on your left shoulder. If you leave some fabric hanging around your arm, it will almost give it a look of a chiton, but on one shoulder. That is only if you would like, if you prefer chiton or a peplos style, I can get you more pins." Athanasia gave Aea a true smile as she pointed to her left shoulder, her eyes showing her that she meant every word and took no offense to any of it. "It really is your choice, no one will force you to do anything you do not want to do. If they even try, they will meet my fist, if they don't meet yours first." The last bit was Athanasia's attempt to make Aea smile or even chuckle a bit, even as she meant it. No one will hurt her friend, not if she could help it. "If you need any help, do not be afraid to ask." Leaving her to get dressed, Athanasia went to get dressed herself as she has a little smile on her face. For a moment, Athanasia almost wanted to call her sister, but she didn't. Was that the bond that she felt?

-

When Aea emerged from the room, Asia smiled when she saw how the red really seemed to warm her color, like Aea had a fire burning deep within her. She was an ember from Hephaestus' forge burning bright and hot. Asia could see Aea becoming not only an unstoppable weapon, but also an impenetrable shield, to whomever she deemed worthy to protect. She was going to be formidable. As she watched Aea come closer, Athanasia wondered why she opened up to her so quickly that night in the cave. Wondered why she offered her protection that night without a second thought. She could not think why other than she felt a connection with Aea. Athanasia honestly could not answer why she felt a bond with this girl, but it was there, almost from the moment they first met. Athanasia could see a lot of herself in Aea but also a lot that wasn't the same, it was nice. Though who would have thought that they would go from Asia pointing her weapon and almost killing Aea, to now having her here in her home, and wanting her to stay. Thinking back, she was smiling at how different Aea was now. She went from a hesitant stranger who didn't believe she was a princess but a hermit, to a babbling silly girl once she realized that she was a princess, to now being so calm and normal like they were in the cave. Such a change over time. Same goes for looks too, from dirt covered and thread bared clothes to clean and silk. It was like Aea was different, but the same. It reminded Athanasia of when she would change her looks into a boy to just hide among the people and not be noticed. Light and dark. So when she stated that Aea looked beautiful, Asia was surprised by her response, 'Said the dawn to the dusk' both were beautiful and incomparable in her opinion, also fitting with what she was thinking. 'I feel like myself, I suppose. Though I daresay much less brown than usual. And, of course, less armed.' Aea's response to Athanasia's question, made her smile while nodding her own agreement as she gathered up the olive oil and charcoal mix. "I can understand that one too, I hated not being able to keep my blades on me at the festival." Directing her friend to the seat, Asia began her work on the eyeliner with a smooth precision of practiced ease.

It still amazed her, thinking back to that morning and how much trust Aea had shown in Athanasia, after she found out exactly who she was at the festival the day before. Asia was not even sure she would have come after the festival and their talk in the temple, at least not as soon as that morning. When a guard came to tell her that a girl was there to see her, saying that she was invited, Athanasia almost didn't believe him. That was until he said her name, to which Athanasia ordered him in a voice that she did not use often to bring her there as quickly as possible. She still remembered the shock on the guard's face, Athanasia wasn't usually known for using any kind of authoritative tone on anyone. She was sure gossip was spreading, but she didn't care at that time. She was not going to turn Aea out, no matter how troubled her friend seemed, and certainly not over any stupid gossip as Aea was rushed to Athanasia's room. The first thing she did when she saw her friend was to take her hands and pull her to a seat. The previous evening they talked like they did in the cave, this time with lots more food and drinks while they hid from the crowds in the temple. It wasn't until the sun had set long past and the moon was high, when the priestess kicked them out, and Athanasia said goodnight to Aea. So when Aea showed up this morning, Athanasia pulled her in without even questioning it. Some might wonder why she didn't even question Aea, but Athanasia knew that she would tell her, in her own time. Drawing the smooth black lines over Aea's closed eyelids, Athanasia thought back to some of her funnier tales, making her giggle before she moved onto the other eyelid.

Athanasia was smiling as Aea seemed to sense it and match her smile with her own before she asked, 'Should I even ask?' as Asia blew gently upon her eyelids. "Well, I was just thinking about some of our talk yesterday. That was all." The smile was clear in her voice as she spoke. When she was finished, Asia could utter only one word that was most fitting for Aea, and that was beautiful. Turning the bronzed mirror toward her, she left her to take a look at herself and see just how beautiful she was. She could tell that Aea did not seem to trust mirrors, seeing how she stared at them like she could not believe what she was seeing. So for a moment, Asia placed her head on Aea's shoulder so they both looked in the mirror together, smiling at her friend's reflection. If she didn't believe the mirror, maybe she believed her eyes? "Don't doubt what you see, you are beautiful. Even if you compare dusk and dawn, they both are beautiful in their ways. One is more golden and wild and the other is fire in the sky and calm. Both equal in beauty, just different in how. They are balanced that way." As she spoke, she gave Aea a smile once she said that the skies were balanced, thinking that that kind of fit them well. Leaving Aea to think about what she said, Athanasia turned to finish getting ready. This was new to Athanasia, to have someone that isn't instantly fawning or trying to win her over, just someone who is there and treating her like Asia. Someone for Asia to truly treat like a friend. For some of the talks they have had so far, the comments that slip in, they remind her of her brothers so much that Athanasia started to wonder if Aea was her sister in another life.

Handing over the leathers to Aea, Asia ran her fingers over the cool metal of her dagger handle, feeling the rubies smooth but bump against her fingertips. This was hard to leave it behind, her gift from her pater. Athanasia let out a soft sigh before she tucked her beloved dagger at the bottom of a drawer to keep it safe. It was truly weird when she did not have it upon her person. She hated it, almost like having to leave her chitons or her wrappings behind, such an important thing that Asia felt almost naked without it. Her security. At least she could wear her ring that her brother gave her, so that was something. Moving to put up all the bracelets and rings up that she offered for Aea to wear, she was smiling because Aea refused it all and put on her own dagger and scabbard, 'if you strap it between your thighs, the only way anybody could guess is if they dared let their hands venture there.' She shook her head to Aea's suggestion though, knowing she meant her own dagger she just put away, "While I would love to and I agree that no one would check there, but my family knows me way to well. If I need one that badly, I'm dead anyways, right?" Did that sound kind of on the prideful arrogant side? Yes it did, but Asia was using it as a joke since she knew that there was bound to be cutlery there and she liked to think she could use any blade with relative ease. Though watching Ntanta freeze did have Athanasia let out the most unlady-like snort as she tried not to laugh, which earned her a slap from the woman, that made Asia laugh even harder as she tried to dodge the next hit. "Honestly though, we should be ok, this is just dinner. Most times, the most dangerous thing someone would need to worry about is choking or flying food." Then Athanasia thought about it, "Or people flirting with you thinking you will let them seduce you." Asia shivered at the thought.

It was time to head out, they were as ready as they were going to be and after seeing Aea get her rolls of skins in hand, Athanasia made sure to grab her bag before she laced her arm through Aea's as they left for the carriage. It was a new feeling, having someone that was not one of her brothers to go to a party or a dinner or some stately affair with, maybe this dinner wouldn't be as boring as she thought it was originally destined to be. She had worried that she would have been stuck between either her brothers or some other nobles that she wanted nothing to do with. The thought of nobles brought to mind one in particular but was dismissed just as quick, he was sure to be gone by now. It was a good thing that she would now have a friend there to talk with, someone who would be able to talk about pretty much anything and everything. She did not have to watch what she said with her, only watch who heard it. Seeing some of the servants pass, the looks they gave Aea made Asia grin that she was correct in her assessment. Good, the more people that looked and agreed, the less argument Aea could give her if she ever decides to disagree. Athanasia could already tell her friend didn't quite feel like she was as eye-catching as she was.

Ntanta followed them out into the hall, trailing after the girls with the plan to stop once they reached the door to bid them a safe journey to the dinner. Athanasia was used to it, Ntanta was like her mother's extra hands when she was not around as she grew up and even now when she was being especially troublesome. So when Aea suggested that she would take her rowing sometime, Athanasia gave her a smile back, "That does sound like a fun idea. We should go in the next couple of days." It was then that Aea's cheek was pressed against her own, making her almost freeze even as she still moved in step with her friend as she listened to her quiet whispers. Athanasia was not used to anyone being in her space like that, and yet somehow she did not hate it, so she was about to whisper back when suddenly door swings open and a large body just steps out and bumps right into Aea, almost knocking the both of them over before Aea shoved him away from them. The move was hard enough to knock the pair of them apart and Athanasia watched as Aea almost instantly jumped in a defensive position, her stance wide as she pinned him to the wall. Athanasia would have stopped her if she drew a blade, but something stopped Aea and made her pull away quickly, so Asia kept quiet as she watched to see how her brother would charm his way out of this mess.

'You ought to be careful where you step.' Athanasia stood there with her arms now crossed over her chest, as she watched the scene before her unfold as Yiannis looked between her and Aea, giving Yiannis a grin that said that she was leaving him to get out of his own fumble as she silently laughed at him when Aea wasn't looking. She was enjoying watching him get sniped at by Aea and at this moment she was guessing Aea was wishing she could hit Yiannis even as she kept her voice sounding somewhat polite, which Athanasia was keen on learning from her new friend. When Yiannis had bumped into them, Aea moved without even thinking. She just instantly went on the defensive and faced what she saw as a threat. Looking at her stance and how she adjusted in a split moment, how she spoke, Asia was remembering it all for future plans. Looking over at Yiannis though, she did have to nod her agreement when Aea pointed out the red he already had on, he didn't need more otherwise mater might yell at him for either being late or coming to her party with blood on him. 'It would have been a shame to knock you over and ruin such a pretty chiton. Or worse. I think you've enough red on, don't you?' Athanasia could not see Aea's face but she could see Yiannis' and the nervous grin had her snicker softly as she let them continue 'I most certainly should,' he said. Though she was tempted to smack him as she watched him try to wave her back so he could have his moment to flirt with her friend, Athanasia gave him the sweetest of smiles as she scrunched her nose at him while she shook her head no. She stayed right where she was as he fumbled through his conversation with Aea. She watched as her brother moved the loosened strand of hair from Aea's face, wondering just what he was planning. 'I thought I heard someone I knew, and grew so excited I left my senses. I hope you can forgive me.' Athanasia watched as her brother attempted to make his move while she shook her head, pinching the bridge of her nose, she waited for the sound of a slap. She was surprised that it never came. 'Strange you should say you knew my voice, for I was the only one speaking.' Aea's tone was still calm, her voice almost sounded like she was smiling, but Asia couldn't see her face. 'Had we met for the first time, I’m certain I would recognize you now.' She was standing there watching the pair, her brother acting like a love-sick puppy had her grinning and Aea not fighting him or shoving him away. When Aea looked back at Athanasia, all she could do was do an over exaggerated eye roll. Showing Aea that there was nothing to worry about other than possibly annoying.

She was sure her brother possibly caught her expression when he looked at her right as he spoke, 'Oh, that took me a moment. You're tremendously clever.' It was always so weird to watch her brothers flirt with anyone. She knew it was normal and that they were grown men, but it was still weird. 'Unfortunately, tremendous cleverness could not save me from such an incredibly strong opponent,' Aea responded before giving Yiannis a shove, her tone sounding light. Was she.. was she flirting back? 'Not many people can withstand such a shove. And you moved not an inch. I take that as a challenge to try again sometime. Preferably outside, with a blade, and while I am looking at you.' Athanasia was about to say something when her brother spoke up, backtracking just slightly to the bump. 'I hope you are all right. My name is Yiannis, and if you would allow me the opportunity to make up for my lack of judgement by joining your escort, I would be grateful.' he said, giving his best smile before he looked over at Athanasia. She knew that look and she would play along for this moment, but not for too long. This made the whole evening worth it, if nothing else happened tonight, this made it all worth it in Athanasia's opinion as Yiannis fumbled along. 'Yiannis,' Athanasia could hear Aea test out his name, wondering if she remembered. 'I’ve not heard such a name before. I’m—' And that answered that question. 'You’re the one that’s going to have a bruise come morning, not I. Naturally, you’ll have to ask the princess if you can come, seeing as I have no carriage, and she does. Even though she never moved from where she was, she smiled when he introduced himself, it still amazed her how he was the one that she was most like with the mischievous air, so her playful grin is told often that it looks similar to his. Mischievous. Playful. Hidden depths to what the true intention really was. Athanasia learned from the best, she was in effect, a combination of her brothers' teachings. He was lucky he was her brother and that she loved him, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed silent to his wordless request. So when Aea said that she never heard the name Yiannis before, Athansia's smile grew as she realized that her friend had so thoroughly ruled out that she was telling the truth, that she forgot all else that Asia told her. 'Late,' Aea blurted out, Asia had missed her forgetting her own name as well, as she turned to Asia, we’re exceedingly late, your majesty. Athanasia smiled at her friend, knowing she wanted to leave more than anything. Yiannis threw out his offer again with a touch of guilt added in to try and get them to comply. 'If that would be all right, of course. I don't want to intrude.' Athanasia remembered their games, but this was a tad different. With Aea, Asia was planning to play the long game and not just a short run. She was playing for keeps, if she could convince her to stay by her side. This was going to be a very interesting dinner, indeed. Athanasia left the choice up to mostly up to Aea, smiling when she knew Aea wanted her to say no, but where was the fun in that when he would be there anyways? "If the Lady does not mind, neither do I." This was going to be a very interesting dinner, indeed. Athanasia left the choice up to mostly up to Aea, smiling when she knew Aea wanted her to say no, but where was the fun in that when he would be there anyways?

Lacing her arm again through Aea's after she snatched the grapes up, she looked back at Yiannis and smiled, "You can follow behind us on your horse, brother. We girls have our private talks and plannings to do, you know?" With such a statement Athanasia did three things; first was to allow her brother to escort them, two kept him out of the carriage so Aea can have some peace, and three let Aea know that he was her brother. As she told Aea to eat, her friend's comment about being even more intimidating had her giggling "Well, that is not a bad thing to be intimidating, you know. You would be completely unstoppable then. Could you imagine, people just knowing who you are by sight from the stories they told?" Athanasia smiled after she said that as she teased her friend a little, almost as if she was sharing a private inside thought that only she knew and that she liked the sound of. Which wasn’t a far off dream of hers, if Athanasia had her way of things. Looking behind her, she could see Yiannis following, turning only slightly to mount the horse that was saddled for him. Asia gave him a sisterly smile that showed how much she loved bugging him even as she loved him being home. It was nice he was here and hopefully he did not have to leave again. Stepping into the carriage, they took leave for the dinner, Aea making sure to get Agogos and the sight of him made Asia smile. He was still a healthy looking bird. If Ara stayed with her, she would need to have a perch made for him, some leathers for Aea so she didn't get gouged every time he gripped onto her. Things Asia stored away for future thoughts as they rumbled on down the way. Athanasia was flighty and spontaneous oftentimes, but she was oftentimes playing what some would call a long game of chess, making moves and making things happen. Some were for fun, others were to test the waters, times like moments ago were happy happenstances that she looks at as luck. The more she knew of Aea, the more she saw that her gut instinct was right about her.

While in the carriage, Athanasia and Aea were quiet as the breeze drifted in through the open windows, relaxing and peaceful. Athanasia knew she probably didn't need to remind Aea to behave, but she did, and her response 'It is you I worry for. Running through the woods in the moonlight. Hunting. Positively atrocious behavior, you know. It’s far more dignified to walk slowly and eat the game others hunt in your stead.' had Asia laughing softly. "Yes, you are probably right, but where is the fun in that?" She liked having her freedoms, and if she didn't, she never would have met Aea. Seeing her today and her reactions to new environments, her reaction when Yiannis ran into her, everything had her thinking about her next move if and once Aea accepts her offer to become a retainer. Athanasia had much more in mind for her and she was going to call in all her brothers' help for it if she agreed. Especially Vangelis, his training would be tough and take time.

The carriage stopped, signalling their arrival and Asia looked over at Aea, “You ready? Just remember, you are one of mine and under my protection. No one will touch you, not if they wish to keep their fingers.” Asia said. She meant it too, if she had to fight the two kings of the other nations, she would. The only ones she might have trouble with would be her parents and brothers. This was Colchis though, and she was it's princess, she would protect what she deemed hers. So when Aea replied 'If I am yours and under your protection, then you are mine and under my protection too. And should anybody touch me, I’ll not have you intervene on my behalf. I like your own fingers right where they are.' Meeting her gaze without blinking or looking away, Athanasia smiled. "Together then." She knew it and she liked being right. Before she started to get overly proud of herself, Asia proposed a game, giving Aea a look that she knew she would understand. 'Athanasia, you cannot possibly be serious.' Which only made Athanasia's smile grow as she shared her plan without even saying a word. “Now, are you ready to go inside with me, Lady Nightingale?”

Just like that, the door was opened and Athanasia could see everything slide into place as Aea replied in a completely different accent, 'I am, your royal highness, though I do think you should beat that clumsy Greek tongue of yours until it can produce the correct pronunciation the gods gifted my forbearers. I suppose Lady Aidoni will do for now.' Oh the game was so on, tonight was going to be interesting indeed. "I do apologize to you Lady Aidoni, I will do my best to work on that." Once they were both out of the carriage, they made their way to the entrance of the Dikastirio. It was not a quiet walk as there were people milling around, both drunk and commoners alike. Here, Athanasia only stopped a moment as she avoided the drunken souls, making her way to the much smaller beings that hid in the corner. In Asia's bag, she often had coins in the event that she might see something she wants, or if she sees moments like the scrawny little children in front of her. Taking out a handful of obols, she gave the kids 5 each, knowing it would be enough to buy food for a couple days at least. Looking around to make sure no one saw her, one could never be to cautious when drunks were around, she placed a finger to her lips in a quiet *shhhh* motion for the kids to be quiet before heading up the rest of the way with Aea. Athanasia wasn't gone long but she could already see how Aea was starting to act like the very lady she was now said to be, with her chin high and almost regal, she should do just fine. It was like another persona took over her friend as she assumed a role of a visitor that was not familiar with grecian customs. It was an amazing sight to see. Aea had moved away from her and disappeared from sight, Athanasia wasn't worried though waited for her friend, it wasn't long before she appeared from behind one of the columns after having only been gone for only a moment.

Athanasia and Aea made their way down the long hall to the room where everyone would be sitting, it did not surprise her when the guard stopped them for Aea's sword. If only they knew, Asia might not have her blade on her, but after watching Aea today she was sure the two of them would be formidable opponents even without weapons. For a moment she wondered if Aea would even give up the sword, possibly stating that she was guarding or needed it for safety or something along those lines, but she surprised Asia again. Athanasia was taking notes on how Aea assessed situations and took the time to read people in an instant. She would be very good one day, if not the best for what Asia has planned. Now to just have it all come into fruition, but that won't happen unless Aea agrees to becoming her retainer. While Aea took the time to remove the sword, Asia looked behind them, and smiled when she saw her brother finally seeming to catch up to them.

Giving Yiannis a look, she put her finger to her lips to tell him to keep quiet, she wanted to see how long it would take Aea to notice him and his quiet steps. All day, Athanasia has become more and more impressed with her new friend's skills. She knew she made the right choice when she decided to trust her that fateful day and chose to lead her to her secret hidden cave that night. Athanasia was seldom wrong in reading people and their intentions, and the times that she is wrong is what makes her so cautious now, but with Aea it was such a strong gut feeling almost like the gods were nudging her along to tell her to keep going. She knew she couldn't stop him for long, he had his own weapons to surrender as well, if he had any. It was something unavoidable since this was in celebration of peace and he was a royal that was invited as well, so Aea would just have to take deep breaths and push through it. Although, she did have to admit that it almost looked like something might have been there between those two, when he tried to shoo her back from them. It was a small thing, but almost like a spark of a possibility.

That would be something Athanasia would try and figure out later though as they moved well ahead of her brother coming in, making her smile at his slowness at the moment. *Gotta be quicker Yiannis, run!* Though it wasn’t long till he caught up as they entered the dining area and she knew he heard the faux accent now as Aea spoke ’My friend, you'll have to tell me how it is your people arrange their places around these...what is the word for bord in your tongue? Tablette, no?’ Athanasia was all smiles but her tone was completely serious as if she truly was guiding a foreign dignitary around that did not understand their customs. “Well yes, we call it a table, though a board works too since it is just a flat piece of wood with wooden legs to lift it from the ground. I am sure you will find it more than adequate for you to use during your visit.” She was the absolute picture of what a hostess should be for a guest, just like her mater when she holds parties and how she will more than likely be tonight, if she isn’t dragging Athanasia to her room to lock her in it for the rest of her breathing days. At least she could say that she showed good manners. Looking around, she could see the two very long tables set up with chairs, this wasn't going to be the usual lounging affair and relaxing. This was telling her that she had to be on her best behavior, this was a formal dinner in its entirety. Which she had an idea of but she still held out some hope. Spotting Vangelis, she moved over towards that table.

As she walked further in, Athanasia noted that others were already there, and she tentatively took a seat with Aea while they waited for her mater to arrive. Looking over at Aea, she motioned to the small wine vessel, “Would you like some wine?” She poured a glass for herself and Aea before settling in to see what happens next. She could smell the food cooking from somewhere as it travelled through the air, making Asia’s stomach rumble in demand. She was hungry. To distract herself, she started to pay attention to the people around her. As she looked across from her, she saw a pretty blonde girl that Athanasia thought looked slightly familiar. She was wearing a white dress that looked so pretty with its beadwork and the diamonds in place. She looked like she belonged on Olympus and not sitting next to her older brother, who seemed to be at a loss for words as well. When she spoke to Vangelis, Athanasia giggled as they waited for his response. After a moment she smiled, "Hello, don't mind my brother, he is broody often. Right, Vangelis?" She gave her brother the sweetest smile just as their brother Yiannis finally found his seat next to them. Pointing between everyone, Athanasia introduced everyone. "My name is Athanasia, by the way, though you may call me Asia. This is Yiannis, my brother. And this is Lady Aidoni. She is a foreign visitor who happens to be passing through and I am her guide and new friend." Athanasia pointed to Vangelis, "I am going to assume you know Vangelis?" Asia was all smiles as she remembered the sarcasm in her voice as she spoke to him. She knew this girl was going to be good for Vangelis, as long as she could get him to talk. Athanasia's mind was already plotting ways, what fun it would be to drive her brothers crazy as she tries to matchmake them. Looking over at Aea, she smiled as she wondered what she was thinking now that they were sitting. Looking around, she noted a few others that seemed to filter in and mill about, but she didn't see her mater or pater just yet. Athanasia took a sip from her glass as she thought about it, wondering what her next step shall be.
