"I can't say I quite agree."

 ”I think everyone and their mother knows of the story of how Apollo pined for Daphne and the tree she became. Why should we dig up old roots?”

"She's a rather important root, don't you think? And then let's not forget Leucothea, Clytia, Marpessa, Castalia, Cyrene, Hecuba, Coronis, Creusa, Acantha. Oh and Cassandra, let's not forget the temper tantrum that resulted in Cassandra. And that's just a short list of your consorts. On top of that, there's your male liaisons too. What I'm getting at is-you're not monogamous. You're not loyal. My nephew deserves the best and I'm not in the slightest convinced that it's you."

"Oh, right. Silly me."

"Oh is that all she was to you?"

"That’s so not true. I can hold my alcohol quite well actually. But if you really insist I’ll go without for the night, and like you suggested have a ‘Shirley temple’ or two, whatever that is."

"You mean to tell me you've never had a Shirley Temple?"

"Oh thank you."

"We shall. But you should probably lead the way since you know where we're going."

"You have such a lovely name… I’m Helena, Helena Valour…"

"Yeah. It seems that some of them are so stupid they don’t realise that no means no. So it’s always good to go out with a friend…"

"Well if we're going to be friends, then you should probably know my name. I'm Ariadne Noxos."

"Oh I know, but if it helps, if someone tries it on, I can do that thing where I pretend to be your partner, if they don’t take the hint from you, that is."

"I'm usually pretty direct, but there's alway the one bonehead that doesn't get it. That's a perfect plan."

"No, Ariadne. I swear I won’t drink too much."

"No offense love, but your tolerance looks like it'd be about one shot."

"Sure, why not."

"Great. Let's head out."

"Of course. Drinking alone can be rather dull."

"Not to mention guys think it gives them a free pass to be all over you."

"Of course I do, and I can show you…as long as you don’t mind if I join you."

"For a Shirley Temple?"
