"My friends are the ones who will be leaving for something," Raphael emphasized again. Right at that moment, he decided to stay behind and continue helping Rowena. She was not yet free before she reached her realm. So, as a gentleman, he would make sure she was back safely.
Raphael remembered his father always told him that a real man would always protect a woman and that a man should see the job thoroughly. Well.. he was only trying to follow his father's advice.
The other young gods finally got the message, and even Nymia, much to her protest, was dragged away by the rest of the group.
Now, there was only left Rowena and Raphael together.
He didn't know why he was acting like this—he was a very social man and usually loved being surrounded by a large group of friends. However, it had been such a long time since he saw her, that Raphael wished to be alone with Rowena.
