All was in readiness. All of his guests were arrived and waiting, some more patiently than others. He anticipated quite a few reactions and a veritable bevy of questions. He was prepared.

He was testing out the slide projector while he waited for his guests to arrive in the ballroom, clicking through pictures of himself made specifically for this test. He paused on one of him before the front desk in a classic, male underwear model post yet still wearing his uniform. "Oh yes. One of my best."

Achilles turned his head seeing Asclepis. "There is something strange going on here," all his defenses were up. Noting the various powers in the room.

"Indeed. Though, theoretically, answers will be forthcoming," Asclepius said. "But first... Don't think I didn't see that little exchange a moment ago. Have you actually taken an interest in that little Muse?"

Achilles kept his look face forward as Asclepius decided to pry into personal matters. "That is not for me to discuss," he said flatly. He would not dive into delicate matters such as that as if it were nothing more than a high school romance. It was obvious he found something intriguing about the little Muse, but he had not figured it out just yet.

Asclepius just nodded.
"All right, whatever is, or isn't, going on is between the two of you. You can make your own decisions."

He sighed. "Thing is, that Muse, that particular one, she's important to me. My mother's grandmother. And, old friend, even you must admit the name Achilles is better known for prowess in battle than for charming young ladies. You're a good man, I know, but know this: if you do anything to break her heart, you will be answering to me and my father both. The Mousagetes does not take kindly to anyone hurting his Muses."

Achilles kept his eyes ahead listening to his old friend's words but making no effort to change the expression on his face. That hardened expression that did not appreciate meddling.

"I have no intention on taking her heart," he swallowed heavy. There was no denying the attraction, but Achilles had long since gave away his heart to war. There was little room for romance anymore.

"You might not," Asclepius conceded, "But she might not give you the choice. Whether something is taken, or thrust upon you, it becomes yours either way. Just promise me you'll be careful with her."
