Another flying lesson down the drain. That was all Cassie could think to herself as she concentrated on brushing down Hermera. She had to have the only pegasus in the universe who didn't want to fly.

They were on the beach, near where they'd been trying to fly, Hermera's lead loosely tied to a branch so she could graze while Cassie cooled her off. She stopped for a moment and wiped some sweaty hair from her eyes. "You are one stubborn horse you know that?"

Hermara just snorted, not even bothering to lift her head. Cassie laughed and went back to work.

Sam was really, really nervous about telling Cassie about what he'd said to Aphrodite. Part of him knew that if he didn't tell Cassie she'd never know. Aphrodite promised not to tell and Sam knew she wouldn't slip like he had. The idea of hiding it from her made him almost physically ill though. Sam had to tell her. Then hoped she didn't take too long to stop being upset with him.

It had taken him a bit to find her until he remembered that she was going to give flying lessons with Mermera another try. If the horse had flown it would have been a great time because she'd be so happy. From the sound of it, that didn't seem to have happened.

"Hey, still mostly grounded?"

"Birds also have hollow bones, making them super light," Sam pointed out before turning to Hermera. "Not that I'm saying you're heavy. For a horse."

The horse was the only one of Cassie's animals that actually liked him and he didn't want to change that, although in a moment not even Cassie was going to like him.

"So, um, I need to tell you something. And you're going to be mad at me. Like, really mad. But I want you to know that I understand and don't blame you for being mad."

"So, I was chatting with Aphrodite the other day. Chit-chatting, really. With no one else around. At all. Nobody. And I sort of made an offhand comment about, um, about how if you and I ever got married, that would make Aphrodite my step-sister-in-law," Sam said, giving her forced smile. Because she probably wouldn't punch him in the face if he was smiling, right?

"And I maybe didn't realize you hadn't mentioned to her the fact that you're sort of related to her."

"Because, crazy me, thought that maybe you would have actually mentioned or talked to someone about it at some point and she seemed the obvious choice!" Sam said.

He knew she was going to be upset with him, he thought he was prepared for it but... nope, totally not prepared for it. it didn't help that she should have talked to Aphrodite about it, which would have made this entire argument a moot point.

"I get that, I get that you were happier that way," Sam said. He could see how having a dad that skipped out on you be some nameless, faceless entity so you didn't have a place to direct your rage. When this had turned into an argument about her dad and not how dumb Sam was, he wasn't sure. It probably meant this was going to get worse before it got better.

"But maybe Aphrodite could clarify some stuff for you. Maybe you'll find out Zeus doesn't give abilities to anyone unless they earn them."

"I know!" Sam said, thinking that Cassie was not realizing that he was already aware of that point. That's why he had started off apologizing to her. If he realized he made a mistake shouldn't she not have to tell him how stupid it was?

"I told you it was a stupid mistake! I'm sorry I did it."

"I didn't say you couldn't be. Actually, I told you that you were going to be really angry," Sam reminded her, which maybe wasn't the best course of action right at that moment but he couldn't help it. His mouth was not checking in with his brain.

"I'm just saying I know how stupid I was, you don't have to point it out."

"I didn't ask for you to forgive me!" Sam countered, throwing his hands up. The entire stupid point is that he completely understood that she was going to be angry. Not necessarily why she was, but that she was going to be. "I'm on your side about being angry about me."

He could tell though that she didn't want to talk about this anymore and probably didn't even want him around at all.

"Right, yeah. I'll see you back home then?"

Sam hadn't taken into account the fact that Cassie might be so pissed she wouldn't want to talk to him or see him. He hoped that he really would see her back at their hut. If she decided to spend a night or two back at her old treehouse?

Well, he hoped that he didn't have to figure out what to do. Turning around to head back to their hut he hoped he would see her there later.
