that response, though... nobody's ever prepared for the worst. but she won't argue. she'll just be very, very upset if something does happen. hopefully, the flamines are all talk. hopefully, ceres will do something. hopefully.
she rests her head on his chest and nuzzles against it to get comfortable. this feels like home. and it's why she says nothing and instead just closes her eyes. it's silence again that lingers, and while merlin isn't used to it, athena loves it. ]
