He snickered at that, slightly amused at her work and dedication to hide the amulet and keep it from anyone who would try to take it from her. He saw a small, almost invisible shield radiate around them and he realized that it was her spell, to keep people at bay and have them run in opposite directions from where these two were sitting. Finally, after what seemed like a long and dreadful time, the angry gaze faded from her eyes and was replaced with a boom laugh and smirks along her lips. Oh it did not bother him that her first instinct was to defend herself, after all if she hadn't she wouldn't have been a remotely talented wizard. <br/><br/>"Let -me- start, by apologizing if I had crept you out a little." He let a small laugh escape him, a slightly cheesy yet charming smile sliding along his lips. "I couldn't help myself, I was dying to see your face and how you reacted when the words were said, yet I failed to realize the magnitude of the topic and how it would seem unnatural that I know about. So sorry about that." He grinned at her, bumping her knee back with his own before he adjusted himself lightly so his body was fully turned towards her own, and his full attention was on her and her amulet. "As for these little trinkets...here's what I can share." He chose his words carefully, and reached gently for her hand. Once he had her hand into his own, he slid his own locket into her open grasp and let it fall and touch her own amulet that she summoned. Nothing happened at first, and when she looked up at him as if to ask what he was doing, he simply gave a teasing wink and looked back down. <br/><br/>Seconds later, the amulets began to glow viciously, Rome's own shining a bright blue and Athena's a bright red. Their hands began to vibrate as the amulets shook violently, and Rome's other hand reached forward and in sync with the hand that already held her own, enveloped her hand and encased it between his own two. He kept eye contact with her at all times, even if she did not look at him back at times. His smile never faded, as if asking her to just trust him. A few moments after, the vibrations stopped and slowly Rome's hands withdrew, suddenly displaying the reality that only one amulet remained in her hand, glowing a light purple color. <br/><br/>"My theory is...these are scattered around the world. Amulets, just like ours. Once they touch, they blend together like so. If I am correct, collecting all of them and...merging them, if you will, into one, will reveal the next step...and I happen to know the location of a few." He raised his eyebrow curiously as a smirk slipped along his lips. "You can even keep that one, as a sign of my trust and faith in you, Athena." her name sounded ever sweeter against his tongue, a smile replacing the smirk.</span>
