He inwardly sighed as Selene began to beg to him in a manner similar to a child. He definitely wanted to grab her by the chin and reprimand her. That is not possible though due to the nature of their relationship in this town. She presented herself as someone attached to him and he played along. It would be troublesome to change the narrative at this point. "You know I can't allow that. The medicine is good for you." He gently patted her head but truly he wanted to rip her away from himself. The role he wanted was a stern brother and for Athanasios be the pampering one. She really took the initiative in establishing the baseline. He had opted for them to meet at the house where they'll be staying while they were in town before. He changed it though. It seemed advantageous for their cover if they paraded that they are a family unit instead of doing it after proper introductions. "I'll make it up to you in another way. For now, you should take your medicine, okay?" It was then that Athanasios finally joined in.
He watched the exchange between the two. He must say that he did not expect what Athanasios did. It was quite effective to cement the idea that they are a couple. The most important thing for him is that Selene was startled by it. He was rather sensitive to smells so he picked up on the scent of blood. That was entertaining as she responded by burying her face on his chest. It was rather an unpleasant feeling. "Now now, Arthur. I know how much you love my sister. But, do be subtle." He patted her head as Athanasios reasoned it was to make the medicine sweeter. "Girls don't like pushy guys and I won't stay quiet if you bully her too much." He was certain that Athanasios was not listening at all. He is similar to Selene in a way that they move to their own music. He had just gotten used to it and started to adapt his methods with knowing how they are.
"Celly. Your food and tea are here. You should eat it. After that, I'll show you our new house." He gently ushered Selene to look at the food served. That should take her attention for now. "Excuse me for a bit, I need to make a call. I will just be outside." He finally had Selene sit properly on her own. "Arthur, I'll entrust her to you." He left his seat and went to step outside but seek Doris first. "Ms. Doris. can you help me with something?" He then went outside just under the awning as he made his call. Doris, on the other hand, delivered a plate of white chocolate-strawberry tiramisu to, "Here you go, Aila. An apology from the Doctor for being a bit of noisy as he says."
