"He plans to catch the two of us," he declared and approached me. "Can you walk still? Doesn't your wound hurt? Can you still do it?" He asked me a worrying question.

"I can't feel it though," I said as I told him before — because that's really the truth. Even the supposed anger I felt in my heart about Ares 'real plan I couldn't feel.
