"Don't be like that." Thrudd wrapped her arm around her sister. "Just because we're running into a minor inconvenience doesn't mean that it wasn't a good idea for you to come out with us."
Apollo seemed to have his pride wounded at being referred to as a minor inconvenience. A bit of his radiant aura diminished at the insult.
"I would painfully disagree." Courtney denied.
"My lady. Do you truly find me so unpleasant?" Apollo's voice was as sweet as honey. As dizzying as white wine.
That is, to anyone but Courtney.
"Yes."
"…Ah. I see."
Thrudd smiled politely. "Sorry, just give us one second…"
She pulled her sister away to have a very private conversation.
'Dude, what gives?! You mope around in bed all day about how you want someone to touch you where you pee, but now this very attractive cod shows up, flowers in hand, and you act like the idea of his penis makes you sick!'
'It does! I can't have standards?!'
