(I Certainly Want To)

Korri POV

At this Mars and Apollo share a look.

"He, uh," Mars stammers. "I-I..."

"I'm here to help around the house," Apollo nods, looking around the room. "The house has gone into quite a disarray since I left, and Ares has kept house."

What...?

I'm pretty sure this place is cleaner than a king's throne room.

But I don't share my thoughts.

"Yeah, um, it kinda took forever to get him to come, so please don't kick him out, at least not immediately?"

"Fine," I say. "But why?"

"Um..."

Apollo looks at Ares with disbelief, rage, all with an eyebrow raised.

"Yeah," Apollo looks at Ares. "I heard about... what happened, with your sister, and Ares thought I may be able to... um, help?"

I don't buy it, but I nod.
