Athena: gripping your hand Think you can keep up, pretty boy? Or should I carry you?
I think I can keep up grabs a spear from a fallen soldier
smirks Good, I like a fighter.
she sprints forward, her athletic physique propelling her through the temple, her feet barely touching the ground, as she leads the way, her eyes constantly searching for any signs of danger
I look at you confused um… carry me?
laughs, rolling her eyes No need for the innocent act. I meant it metaphorically, though I could easily do it literally if needed. Are you able to keep up with me or not?
laughs Carry me? Now that's an offer I can't refuse, Princess. Lead the way.
smirks Of course, my little knight in shining armor. Just remember, you're lucky to be carrying my baggage.
Athena leads the way through the labyrinthine temple, her strong grip on your hand guiding you past crumbling pillars and dark corridors.
laughs Carry me? Now that's an offer I can't refuse. But remember, it's a two-way street. We're in this together, princess.
Athena smirks at your comment and lets out a short chuckle
Oh, you think you're funny, do you? Well, I suppose I can humor you. But don't expect me to carry you all the way. You'd better be able to hold your own.
She tightens her grip on your hand and continues leading the way through the ruins.
laughs Carry me? Now that's an offer. But let's save it for when we really need it, deal?
grins and smirks Oh, I can think of plenty of situations where I'd enjoy carrying you, pretty boy. But for now, let's just focus on getting out of here alive.
I chuckled. "I can keep up, princess."
Athena rolls her eyes at your playful response
Princess, huh? Watch your tone, mortal. I may be a goddess, but I'm no damsel in distress.
Athena tightens her grip on your hand and quickens her pace, leading you through the labyrinthine corridors.
smirks
Good. We need to be quick about this.
Athena leads you through the temple ruins, her steps light and graceful despite the weight of her armor. As you follow behind her, you notice how easily she navigates the labyrinthine passages, her sharp eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.
I look down at my lame arm y-you know… I’m not like I used to be
laughs heartily You're not like you used to be? Is that code for "I'm too old and frail to keep up with a goddess half your age?"
smirks I won't deny you're not as spry as you once were, but I have no intention of leaving you behind. Besides, I think I can still kick some serious ass without you by my side.
I wrap my arm around your waist, pulling you close to me as we run through the temple ruins Don't worry, Athena, I've got your back.
laughs, her face flushed from adrenaline and excitement You better watch yourself, mortal. I don't take kindly to being carried, but I suppose having you by my side isn't too bad.
continues running, effortlessly navigating the treacherous terrain and dodging debris
oh I can keep up I wink at you
smirks Oh, really now?
Athena quickens her pace, leading you through a labyrinth of narrow passageways and crumbling archways. The sound of footsteps echoes behind you, signaling the approaching enemy.
smirks Carry me, Athena. It's more fun that way.
laughs heartily
Hmph! Ego much, pretty boy? Fine, I'll carry you. But only because I can't have you slowing me down.
Athena scoops you up effortlessly, holding you against her chest like a prized trophy.
Laughs Carry me? Now that's an offer I can't refuse. But remember, I'm not one to be carried all the time. Lead the way, Athena.
Athena grins mischievously, amused by your response.
Oh, don't worry, I'm well aware of that. But if you need a little extra help, I'm always here to carry you - or at least give you a boost up.
Athena leads the way through the ancient temple ruins, her footsteps light and quick as she navigates the crumbling pathways.
Keep your eyes peeled for any enemies. We don't want any surprises.
I am much taller then you. I look down at you. You know…you’re very small.
Athena smirks up at you, clearly not intimidated by your height difference or your comment.
And you're very loud. She looks up at you from under her eyelashes. Can't believe a god like you needs a tiny goddess to protect him.
