"I don't really have friends," she said abruptly, trying to stifle the sympathy she felt for the younger girl. "Although many people are eager to go on a quest to prove themselves. I'm sure you'll find someone."

"A-and what about you?" She gripped onto the hem of her sleeve, tugging gently as she looked up at her. "What are you doing to do? You haven't said anything about yourself yet but I'd... I'd really appreciate it if you'd come with me."

Aisling rubbed at her temple, weary. She had always wanted to go on a Quest. It had been a particular aspiration of hers. And yet going on a mission to Greece to find a minor God didn't seem quite as heroic as she'd wished. "Fine," she sighed after a while. "But we need to find a third person."

"Thank you!" Her expression instantaneously brightened, flashing a sincere smile whilst moving to pull the older girl into a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't wanted to come... How do we go about finding someone else though?"

She raised her arms slightly, unsure of how to respond to the hug. Just great... Mother is going to be so proud of you. Well done, Aisling. "Perhaps you could ask around, she suggested, phrasing it carefully. "There was a boy in the training area, a son of Apollo I think. He was pretty good with a bow and arrow." Despite being an insufferable little twerp, she added silently, gritting her teeth.

"Apollo?" She echoed in amusement, releasing the girl from her embrace. "I've always thought that it would be interesting to work with a child of Apollo, they're supposed to be a lot like my father, aren't they? Seeing as they're technically siblings... Do you like him?"

She bit her tongue to hold back a scathing remark. "He was... good at archery," she said stiffly, very conscious of the fact that it didn't really answer her question.

"That's... good to hear." For whatever reason she was holding out on expression her actual opinion of the child of Apollo, Alena didn't press it. "Maybe we er... would have better luck in trying to apply for the Quest..."

Aisling shrugged. "I've never done this before, but it's your Quest. You have to speak to the Oracle first."

Alena blinked, looking completely lost. "How do I..?" She had a rather sheepish expression on her face, her hands yet again reaching to fiddle with the stray strand of hair.

"At the house," she said with a shrug. "Go straight up the stairs to the top room and if she speaks then you've managed to get an audience."

"O-oh, okay! I guess I'll, er, see you later then." She bounced out the room, notably more cheerful than when she had walked in earlier. There was... something, about the idea of a quest to find her father that simply raised an invisible load off her shoulders, one that she hadn't realised she had been carrying. Her steps felt oddly light.

Aisling sighed, sinking into her bed to pick up the book again. What've I gotten myself into now? This Quest is going to fail, I just know it. She tugged at one of her pigtails, silently cursing herself.

"Aisling, Aisling, Aisling!" Alena returned, positively beaming with a scrap of paper clutching tightly in her hand. "You'll never believe what just happened!"

The girl in question groaned inwardly at the sound of her, placing her book aside for fear of being subject to more questions. "What happened?" She asked, trying to keep her tone friendly.

"It worked out!" She spun around with a rather odd pirouette before brandishing the paper in the other girl's face. "I er, can't remember things very well so I wrote it down, but look! I got a response!"
(Can we like... just not mention the prophecy and go with it as if they knew because really, do either of us want to make one up for this?)

(Yup ;3)
Aisling took the paper, eyebrows raising in surprise. "Well..." Her eyes scanned briefly over the paper a few times. "I suppose it's pretty clear what we have to do. We just need a third member of the team."

"Well surely we'll find someone else now that we've gotten confirmation that this thing is actually happening." She nodded hopefully, her grin widening. "I almost still can't believe it myself."

"Maybe ask at the next campfire," she suggested lightly. "When are we leaving? I've got a collection of maps and I've started to plan a route for us, but we'll need to plan it out a lot more before we set off."

"As soon as we can!" The answer came without a moment's hesitation, Alena pressing forwards. "A third person and preparations, we don't need to wait longer than we have to."
