             “--we step right off that cliff.” Tate was loathe to admit when academics failed him in the real world. In fact, he’d go so far as a bold faced lie if he thought he could cover it up in order to make sure others weren’t proven right on this count. But the fact was the map had indeed failed them. And now he was getting a look for it, as if he was the goddamn cartographer or something. “Look, you asked me where the map said to go, and the map says off that cliff.”

Wood's nice car parked carefully in the driveway. He looks up at the large house, clearing his throat before ringing the doorbell. Hand immediately returning to his sides. He is suddenly both very irritated and very relieved he didn't bring a snickers bar with him, though one is in the glovebox in the car. The door opens and he holds the flowers just that much tighter. A small nervous smile, eyes flicked across her and he feels heat rush across his features, leaving a dusting of light pink across his cheeks. "Lady Aphrodite..."

“Did you know?”
