"What was that?" Gorgios sounded annoyed, his voice low but not so low that she couldn't hear him.

The celebration was over, for the most part. Everyone had gone off to another part of the house, doing their own things. Talking, laughing, reminiscing.

Delphinia paused from cleaning up, turning her head toward him. "What are you talking about?"

"The boy, Delphinia, from that school you go to."

"What about him?" Delphi asked, not terribly excited with where this was going.

"Why is he here?" Gorgios pressed.

"Because he's my best friend, and I invited him here!" Delphi answered, rather defensively.
