[How could he have done as he did for seven years if it wasn't for his duty to Metis? It has coloured everything about his feelings towards Athena... At least until he was freed from prison.
He goes to refill Aura's glass without so much as asking, then pours himself a glass of his own, lingering by the table. For once, he has no idea how to proceed in this conversation.]
It would be doing her a disservice to insist on treating her merely as Metis' daughter. She has learned to stand on her own two feet since then, and has grown into her own person.
