"Well you'll never know if you don't ask. And there is nothing wrong with being wrong about something. It happens to a lot of people. All you do then is apologize and go about your day. It's really simple." Lyle said with a smile. Maybe it was her, but there was only one way to find out and if Aria wasn't going to ask, he would. She would be so happy if it was her friend and that would make him pretty happy as well.

Amalia was silent as she looked at Troy and quickly looked away, nervous. "I would say you're in your twenties. Older than me for sure, but not even thirty yet." She said, hopefully she was right and hadn't offended him. Troy was impressed. "Twenty-six." He answered calmly. He was almost thirty, he felt old just thinking about it even though he clearly wasn't. "Ah, two years older than I." Amelia commented, a smile on her face. "Well..we used to talk when we were younger. But I'll admit we never really talked much for obvious reasons." She explained. "Such as?" Troy asked.

"That would be perfect, thank-you." Eros said, doing his part to help the older man with the work they had to do. He worked fast to make sure that work didn't pile up. It felt good to be able to help someone even if it was something small like this. "Sir, are you feeling okay today?" He asked and looked at the man. "B-because if you're not, you could take some time off you know." Eros explained politely.

Aria was right, the burning stopped after a while. It was then that Lyle could fully relax beside her. "I hope so too. Well, Troy is a polite man, I'm sure he wouldn't have trouble getting along with someone." He said. "Hmm?" Lyle looked at Aria and tilted his head to the side. "Does she? Perhaps she was a childhood friend? Maybe she was the one who moved away?"

When Sapphira's father arrived, Eros jumped slightly and smiled at the older man. However, looking at him, Eros noticed something was off. He didn't say anything though. They had work to do, maybe they could talk on their lunch break. "She did? Well that's nice of her. I'll have to personally thank her." Personally, because Eros honestly wanted to see her.

"You said you would protect them though." Aphrodite pointed out. Yes it was true, he had said he would, but that was only meant for when the war arose. "I know I did, and I will. That doesn't mean no one is going to be killed. Need I mention, the mortals here aren't exactly young like our son. Many of them aren't in the best help and you know that I cannot help them with that." Ares pointed out.

At work, Eros was just arriving and noticed that Sapphira's father hadn't arrived yet. "Maybe he's on his way." Eros said to himself quietly. If he wasn't going to show up, he thought maybe he would have heard about it beforehand.

Lyle looked at Aria when she returned and winced when the ice was placed on his knee again. "Is it supposed to burn at first?" he asked and kissed her cheek, thanking her for both the ice and the coffee. Taking a small sip, he smiled, it was just the way he liked it. She was the only person he trusted to get his coffee right. "How do you think the others are doing?" He asked, getting comfortable.

Amalia blushed softly and smoothed out her dress. "Well thank-you, I appreciate it." She said and was silent for a moment before looking at him. "Forgive me if I'm crossing any lines but...you don't remember me do you?" She asked with a sad smile. The question caught Troy off guard. "Remember you?" He repeated and looked at her face. He knew her name but no, he didn't have an answer right away. "I'm sorry, you'll have to refresh my memory. I guess my age is starting to be apparent." Troy replied. Amalia laughed and shook her head. "Oh my goodness, you are not much older than I am!" She noted. Troy smirked and shrugged. "Guess." He said, looking at the various books around them.
