Dimitri kept his head up, something he'd picked up was to always face your conflicts and never let them keep your head down. His expression tensed at Daniel's outburst at him, but the demigod didn't react whatsoever besides for the change in his face. Dimitri didn't speak a word, he figured this had been coming to him for a long time now. All he could do was face the pair in front of him. What surprised him was Alannah defending him. But the demigod didn't react, he stood there throughout the entire outburst, only giving the occasional nod.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0040BF">"Don't go apologizin' on Daniel's behalf."</span>Dimitri said, when Alannah and him were alone.<span style="color: #0040BF">"He's just tryin' to do right by you, y'know? I'm not angry at him or anythin', I'm just glad to know you still have people lookin' out for ya."</span>Dimitri said, picking up his mug of coffee. It was surreal to the demigod, seeing Alannah after so much time had passed, yet it was just like yesterday that they had broken up. Dimitri hated the way the father of time worked.<br/><br/>There was a long pause, Dimitri just looked at the girl behind the counter. It was still so different to the demigod, knowing her as only a friend.<span style="color: #0040BF">"Look, Alannah, I know I haven't made an effort to talk to ya or make contact or anythin'. I'm sorry for that."</span>Dimitri said, and while he had a feeling that an apology wouldn't make up for a year and a half, he still needed to say what he had to say to be able to sleep.<span style="color: #0040BF">"It's just real hard, y'know? I've never'ad to talk to you like you were just a friend, and it's just hard to find words sometimes. I thought 'bout writin' to you or callin', but, I just wouldn't know what to say."</span>Dimitri confessed.<span style="color: #0040BF">"How does 'hello' sound?"</span>
