I felt a warmth permeate through my chest at Gabrielle's words, they felt good to hear, but. "I appreciate your sentiment Gabrielle, truly. But I was never forced to train or anything like that. All my actions in my life are my own choosing. I might seem pretty laid back in general, but that is only because I am always doing what I want to be doing. Trust me, if someone got in my way or tried to ruin my happiness... No more Mister nice Apollo."
I naturally didn't tack on the fact that I had already gone through a childhood before so I didn't really miss out. Even with this one I had bouts of hormone filled shenanigans where I did play, so it wasn't all serious training.
Gabrielle nodded her head hearing what I said. "Good. Remember that going forward. You have been lucky so far in the core worlds, meeting the truly good. But it's inevitable you are going to run into some schmucks. You need to be willing to defend yourself through multiple means when the time comes."
