It had been no real secret that she and Helenus were becoming closer as time went on. He was, however, involved with a certain gentleman, and there was no real reason for anyone's concern. The drunken kiss they'd shared had only been a passing curiosity, and it was so brief Melinoe wasn't sure it had actually happened until he had blushed profusely. Still, nothing between them had changed; not really. And while it was not unusual for her father to request her presence at home, it was unusual for him to send someone to find her.
The pounding had startled the pair of them, and Melinoe's surprise at the fact it was Phonos standing in the doorway was not concealed well. The dynamic between the pair of them had been tense as of late, though she'd not put her finger on precisely why other than the embodiment of Murder struggling with very human emotions. Meli had been around them for so long, they were second nature (even if she did try very hard to strangle whatever was flitting around her heart when it came to Phonos).
She stood, meeting his gaze with a furrowed brow. "Phonos. You could have called. Might have been easier." With that, she gathers her coat and bag, providing Helenus with an apologetic kiss on his cheek and an apologetic whisper of "I'll call you."
Taking Phonos by the arm, she pulled him away from Helenus' apartment as they ventured down the hall and to the elevator. "Is Papa so displeased that he might send you?"
Bear with me. It's been a while, but I've missed her. lol
