It was a little flattering to be honest, and he couldn't help that cheeky, joyous smile that crawled upon his lips when her name was uttered through her lips. It did sound much smoother than usual coming from her lips, as he had guessed. Perhaps he was a seer, and did not quite know it. He snickered to himself at the thought as she explained why she uses such formality, before one of her words sent his brows furrowing just lightly and having him lean in a little closer to her. "Your Elders? Athena...how old do you think I am." He flashed her that grin again, teasing her a little more. "I'm pretty sure we're the same age, so that's out of the question. Just -Rome-, like you did just now." He knew that she was only explaining, and if anything meant that he was a professional rather than an elder, but he adored teasing her none the less, getting that cheeky smirk returned from her excited him lightly and he rather enjoyed it.<br/><br/>Yet, just as she accepted his challenge, he stared into her eyes that went from their normal color to a dazzling golden hue as she sunk into her talent and began uttering a prophecy just for him. He sat there, shoulder to shoulder with her with a single brow raised. Not moving, simply listening to what she said word for word as a slow grin came along his lips towards the end as she snapped out of her daze and asked him a teasing question with that grin he enjoyed so much. He could not help but let out a burst of laughter, his head tilting to look at her with his own pair of blue eyes that seemed deeper than the biggest of oceans. There was something mysteriously alluring about him, just as there was something inexplicably attractive about her. "Well, you are as gifted as I perceived you to be. I'll say you met your challenge and more." He flashed her a slightly wicked smile, his body tilting lightly so it could face her while still keeping the physical contact. <br/><br/>"I suppose a little bit of both." He said in a moment, letting her attention get captivated before he leaned his head in lightly so his words were hushed, as if hiding them from the trees and the birds, for her ears and her ears alone. "I did not expect you to be so dead on...but I can tell you that the road I travel is far from an innocent one. I have cast such a wide web of deceit to form this...illusion of a gentle and nice professor, yet there is so much that I have not revealed...but none of that can be hidden from you." His finger raised and it very gently touched the spot just below her neck at her upper chest, letting it linger for a few moments. Yet, the mysterious statement was quickly subsided as another charming smile came along his lips, his face really an inch or two away from her own. "But you have your gifts, and I have mine. What I can do may just have something to do with a certain amulet that you hold dear." <br/><br/>A grin helplessly slipped along his face then, knowing that very few souls even knew about what she had in her hands, let alone people she'd actually told about him. Rome had his gifts, had his allure. He had cast a line and it was up to her whether to take the risk and grab onto the bait with her own free will, or swim in an ocean waiting to find out her answers by chance or luck. </span>
