Big Salmon Lake primum non nocere

Delos couldn't help furrowing his brow. He thoroughly doubted that Aureli was confused by his words, but he wouldn't argue. What was the polite way to say "hey! My mom is kind of a slut!" anyways?

I had two other siblings, none of us look the same. That's because at least one of us has a different dad. He spoke somewhat slowly, as though he were embarassed. I've seen how others talk about my mom, and I've seen how she talks to others. It was gross.

What I'm saying is that if I end up with siblings who have your face, I'll die of embarassment. The very pre-teen boy way of saying, don't kiss my mom.

He searched Aureli's face for a reaction. But that goes against some sort of rule anyways.. right? So I don't have to worry?

He wanted to travel with Aureli, and he wanted to learn from him. To Delos, the worst possible outcome was a romance between his non-commital mother and the well-mannered Aureli. He trusted Aureli, but he didn't entirely trust Leto on this matter.
