First of all, thank you very much everyone for coming to our party. I found it to be a great success! There were good times, food, drink and people. I really appreciate everyone that came. It is good to know that my friends know me so well, and pick out the perfect gifts for me. It’s endearing. Excluding a certain book I got, of course…Orion.

You know what I like. SURPRISE ME!

Actually, you don't need to bring me back anything at all.

Who's the friend?

[heliosrising]

Hmm! Too bad, I think I'll attempt to surprise you anyway. ♥

Cyparissus. Do you remember him? We met in High School, so I'm excited to see him again.

The book comment had me nervous for a second. Orion - why does that name sound familiar?

I'm glad to hear the party was satisfying for you, everyone I've spoken to had a very good time. Be sure you properly appreciate the amazing historical monument that is Troy, just thinking about all the details from The Illiad gets me feeling kind of...giddy, if you can believe that.

BUT, be sure you wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water (not sports drinks, they're useless) while you're at those festivals, otherwise you run the risk of dehydration, which takes a surprisingly long time to recover from, depending on the severity of the case, while your body makes up for lost plasma.

Have and be safe. ♥

He was Artemis’ best friend when we were small. I never did like him much. He got me a book, but I doubt I’ll read it. Trust me, you’d laugh too.

I’ll be sure to try and absorb as much information on the sights of Troy as I can. Either way, I know everyone will be asking me dozens of questions when I get home. I’ll look out for anything that might catch your eye for you.

Clio, you are too good to me. I think a doctor would know the effects of dehydration though. Haha~

Oh, that kid. Hmm. For some reason I'm not feeling overwhelmed by the need to beg his literary expertise. How odd.

I'm already composing a list of topics to pick your brain over. And while sweet, that's hardly necessary, Apollo.

Don't you try and out logic me, mister, my "Authoritative Voice" is much more commanding than yours - when was the last time you made small children cry with just one shout of "Out of my library, you little philistines"?

I'm feelin' better, THANKS!!

[heliosrising]

Good good. Take care of yourself. ♥

I-- I don't need any sort of gift, though...
