Beauty froze over; the table suffered a long minute of silence, '-they know who I am?' left, right, up, and down, '-where's the escape, what can I do?'
"Think you wouldn't get found out?"
"How did you figure it out?"
"How did I?" Staxius lowered his shoulders, "-are you serious?" he shook his head, "-put some respect on my name. You changed your name to Pho and blatantly used godly mana when you arrived. I was there when you forced those men on you… so much for the innocent act. I see right through you, and of course," he looked at the young man, "-I have connections as well."
"Fine, what if I am Aphrodite, what now, are you going to kill me?"
Staxius evaded her question, "-we're here to enjoy a meal. Don't worry about being harmed, I'm here to know a single thing, are you friend or are you foe?"
"I could lie."
