Roux smiled at her. He watched her carefully, then when she took his hand he opened up just enough to let her feel more joy, happiness. light.
"I'm glad to have helped you then." Roux answered and smiled at her. "I'd be honored if you'd let me call you a friend. So that I might continue helping you when I can."
Again that brillant flash of gold in his eyes. and it stayed put. It happened unbidden when Apollo was happy. It was a reaction of sorts that he couldn't get rid of.
He didn't realize it was there really. But his eyes were now a wash of brillant true gold.

< Diana smiled at Fishy then kisses his cheek > "And I know I love you. funny how things work out like that isn't it?"
< She inched closer to him, and rested on his shoulder, resting her cheek between his neck and shoulder. > "So. I only got so far in this book." <She opened the Illiad.> "Can you show me where I left off? I think I got to Hector's death."#nosmileys

Fishy smiled at her, and put his arm around her, holding her close to him. His hands flipped through several pages, finally resting on the appropriate chapter. "I think its there. Not much left, is there?" he said, looking at the book, then Diana. "Aye..its funny, maybe its fate. but im not worryin' about it now."
he laughed a little. "What do ye think the rest of the crew'll say?"

< Diana smiled and settled herself in next to him> "What will the crew think about us you mean?"
<she smiled at him> "They can think what ever they want. I'd still love you."
<She glanced down at the pages> "I'm not great thinker. but I'm going to assume this book doesn't have a happy ending?" <She frowned a little>
"So sad. Paris and Helen really seemed in love."

Fishy took her hand in his, now. "And i'd love you back." he said, and kissed her cheek quickly. "And i dont mind if you're a genius or anything, i love you just the way you are." he laughed "And as for happy endings, haha, depends who you're rooting for." he looked at her, at the book, at Diana again. "You're my Helen."

< Diana smiled> "Then you'll be my Paris."
"I think it's a war nobody wins. the Greeks suffer. So do the people of Troy. And it's all because two people are in love. Ironic. so much death born from love. It's sad."

"Aye," spoke Fishy, in a slightly strange tone. "but think of how strong their love was." he looked at her again, and his face turned to concern once more. "Are you alright? y' sure ye shouldn't be resting now?"

:A large blush spread across her cheeks as she realized what she had done. She smiled at him and looked up into his eyes.:
I'm glad that you wish to call me a friend.
:She continued looking at his eyes, then, something happened that she would not expect in a million years. His eyes, which were a normal shade only a moment ago, shone bright gold. Linea gasped and stood back a bit from him, a little frightened.:
Your...eyes! What the bloody hell is with your eyes?
:She stammered a little trying to control her shock, her fear. Finally she got her emotions under control and was able to speak normally, or as close to normal as she could.:
They are gold, no human eyes are gold, that's for certain. What's going on Roux?
:Linea walked back towards him, showing him that she wasn't that afraid. She placed her hand on his shoulder and looked him in his eyes.:
Please explain to me?

< She nodded then kissed his cheek> "I'm fine. In fact I'll be up for swimming lessons soon enough."
< A smile crept over her face> "Besides, I'm happy with you here. And it's rest enough to be near you."

Roux realized his mistake at once. The gold was showing through. He frowned a bit then looked around. When he looked back his eyes were normal. a smooth hazel color.
He looked at her a moment, debating if he was going to tell her the truth or not. He waited for her to come under some control then let his eyes change back to their real form. A brillant glowing gold. warm and regal.
"there is a lot to explain. None of which should be done here, in the open, as I have my reasons for not saying anything before now."
The gold faded slowly and he smiled: "but I am your friend. I mean nobody harm on this ship."

< she nodded, smiling, then distangled herself from Fishy> "I'll sleep if that makes you feel better."
< leaning over she kissed him once more on the cheek then lay down in her bed, pulled the blanket over her and smiled at him> "I'll be alright. And I'll be up on deck later. A couple hours of sleep and i'll be better then new."

:Linea's returned to the calmlike state she was in before his eyes had changed colour, and drew in a shaky breath before replying to him.:
I know that you mean us no harm, I truly do. I don't know how, but I feel it if you know what I mean.
:She looked up into his eyes, still of a gold colour and smiled.:
I must admit, after the first shock, they are wonderful. So unreal, yet beautiful. I'm sorry if I upset you with the way I acted towards you, but I was more than shocked.
::Linea realized her hand was still on his shoulder, so she removed it and clasped her hands in front of her and looked down at the ground.:
If you wish to tell me, it would be something I took to my grave and never spoke of unless you wished me to. After you listened to me, the only thing I could do is to lend you an ear if you wished it.

Roux smiled just faintly then shrugged his shoulders "I think the truth may be harder to understand then if I decided to lie."
Again he peered around. He could tell her the truth. He could simply will himself to be shown as he was really, to her and only her. But then again. what would th reaction be to it? Fear? Out right distrust?
Well. He could always make her forget if he wanted her too. He looked around then whispered "Don't over react if it can be helped."
and with that he appeared. As Apollo. Much in the same form he was now. Only he glowed from inside. A golden glow. His hair a wash with golden strands. a crown of laurel leaves and golden spikes on his head. his eyes fully golden. He was a bit taller. a few inches. and he wore robes of white and gold.
A overwhelming sense of power came from him. And happiness. Always happiness and light. He remained that way, in her veiw alone for a couple minutes and then faded back again.
"Tell not a soul what you have seen. I am Apollo."
It was simple request and statement all at once. but he still smiled. "and I promise I will do no harm."

:Linea held her breath as she watched the change unfold before her. She was speechless at what she was seeing. Seeing the glow from within him, frightened her a little, but she hid her fear very well. She was used to hiding her emotions, just a little while ago, they'd gotten away from her. Linea's face was like a stone mask, unmoved, unchanged. Finally, slowly, she became accustomed to his features. His eyes still entranced her as she looked into them. Before she could stop herself, her hand reached out to touch him to see if he was truly real. It brushed his hair lightly and rested on his cheek and she smiled.:
No matter what form you take, you are still my friend, and dear to my heart. Though, I must say, you really are handsome.
:She blushed again only to remember that of course he'd be handsome, he was afterall a god. She grinned a little as he regained his natural form and became plain old Roux.:
Do not fear, for as you have asked, I will tell no one and I had no thought that you would harm a soul. You have my word.
