"...Is that an order?"
"..."
The streets of the city that Athena and Van were exploring were by no means quiet; the people hustling and bustling around, the people that were running around in the market-- as well as the random creatures that seem to fly in the skies were all making noises.
But for Van, even with the vendors shouting at him to come take a look at their wares, everything was silent. He turned to look Athena straight in the eyes, trying to see if he really heard from her the words she just spoke; and seeing the look of resolution in her eyes, it would seem that she was serious.
"...I was kidding," Van muttered.
He only said it in passing and as a joke, but Athena seemed to really be thinking about them creating offspring. It is true that Athena was a beautiful woman, one might even say more beautiful than even Artemis-- but even from the first time he saw her, Van did not really feel anything for her, unlike with Artemis.
