PRETRIP II

Angel sat with her hand covering her ears, as the two grown men in front of her argued on why it should be them chosen to travel.

She didn't think she deserved to be in such a noisy place, but it seemed like she just had to endure it.

"Look, Hazel just came back from a journey. Why would he want to travel again?" Ivar said logically.

Her hand slipped away from her ears long enough for her to hear his argument.

It surprised her a bit, because not only did Ivar not talk much, he was really never this overly expressive.

She also vividly remembered how he told her off when she asked if he had feelings for her.

Suddenly, she was feeling extremely petty, and vengeful.

"I think neither of you should go. That's what I think." Athena said.

"Stay out of this!" They screamed at her in sync.

"Jesus!" She hissed, and lifted her hands in surrender.

"They're like two begging kids," Luciana whispered to Eli.
