"Oh. What a lovely story that is." Andros thought of himself as more of a centaur like being. More glamorous then being a horse.
"No. I don't have to go. That was just an alert. It's okay." An alert from Orion. An update actually.

Allegra giggled. "As long as you don't have to go. Mommy said you were a soldier. Did you go to war like Mommy's daddy? Mommy also said that it was why she loved you." Alicia frowned. She wasn't happy about Allegra spilling her information but the girl was excited about being with her dad so she couldn't blame her. "Are you going to come to my birthday? Its in a month and a half. Mommy is going to have it at one of the clubs she runs. Shes planning the whole thing to make it super pretty and stuff."

"Mmmm....I was a soldier. I am somewhere between a scientist and policeman. I try to stay out of the fighting and try to come up with ways to end the fighting. Make people's lives better. without the fighting. It is very hard but makes me try that much harder." This was true. As hard to believe as it was Andros had left the life of a soldier to pursue other worth wild things. Through science and technology he was hoping to better many lives and worlds. Trying to come up with ways to solve the many problems people faced.
In fact one of the projects he was working on was one that they hoped would lead to peace among several planets. Persephone was a major part of that experiment. She was a highly intelligent being that they hoped would help police the planets and they also hoped they would be effect enough in years to come that they could really cut back on their armies. Stop training their young to kill.
"My son Orion is a soldier. A very smart and fast one. He has quickly climbed o the top."
Finally the food arrived. He poured the vinaigrette dressing on his salad.
"Let's talk about your party though. Wars are horrible things and something no one ever really wants to talk about. WHat theme will your party have? My last party was a Woods theme. Lots of flowers and bushes for the decorations. To make it look like a park. I was traveling for my birthday so it was very nice that they threw me a little party."

Allegra gave her mom back her phone once it began buzzing. She was thinking about her party. She didn't know what her theme was. "I think it has to do with stars and fantasy things. Mommy says she's going to get people to dance in like these sheet thingys from the ceiling. She's going to go have lights and stuff hanging from the ceiling. There's gonna be lazer tag too."
She tilted head and looked at him. "Is he my brother? Did he work hard like Mommy did when she was going to school to manage people."

"Oh. What a lovely sounding party." Andros took a large forkful. He chewed it thoroughly and swallowed before answering.
"Um....he is your half brother. Yes. He's worked very hard. He and Erebus' brother Cal have trained and started working when they were boys." He offered Allegra a forkful of his salad.
"Want to try it?"

Allegra looked at him with her huge brown doe like eyes. "Do I have to start training too? Do I get to meet him? How did they train? Did they kick people or punch them when they're being mean? I bet I can take him. Im stronger than Taylor!" She opened her mouth when her offered her a bite of his salad. She looked like a little bird.

Andros fed her the bite. "It's a very good salad. The dressing is homemade to. Very flavorful." Andros resisted the urge to announce Summer's was better. He knew had Summer stayed on Earth she would have probably done something in the food industry.
"No. You don't have to train. The boys have that area covered. They did do a lot of sparring. Hand to hand combat is a big part of their training. As is exercise and studying anatomy. Also they are very good strategist." He shook his head.
"No. You won't be meeting him."

Andros chuckled. "I may stop by...the present is a given." He continued to eat his salad. Pausing to take a bite of the piece of rosemary bread on his plate.

Allegra giggled happily. "Yay!!" She turned to Alicia grinning. "Mommy did you hear that! He's gonna come to my birthday party!!" She said excitedly.
Alicia looked up from her phone and smiled. "I will contact the caterer later and let them know we'll need vegetarian meals. I have the sky dancers already, Leggy. Your cake is already ordered from the Charm City Cakes. They're gonna make you a star and moon cake." She put down her phone and ate some of her chicken alfredo. She looked up at the two and chuckled at them. "You two look so much alike. She acts like you too, Andros, if you haven't noticed."
Allegra giggled again. "I act like daddy!" She squeed happily and stuck some pasta into her mouth then turned. "You sure you don't want a bite?" She said with her mouth full of food. Alicia rolled her eyes. "Dont talk with your mouth full Allegra."

"I see Alicia." Andros said as an answer to her comment that Allegra and he are alike. Andros wiped Allegra's face.
"Yeah. No talking with a full mouth. You'll choke." There was more beeping. He quickly shut his watch up.

Allegra giggled as Alicia stuck her tongue out at Andros. (Triple A LMAO) She looked up at her dad. "I won't choke. Why does your watch beep so much? Can I see it?"

"It's a special watch." Andros informed Allegra. "No. No you can't see it. It's for work. Sorry." He ruffled Allegra's hair.
"So....what's your favorite food?"

Allegra pouted. "Can I have one like yours? So we can match. Sometimes me and Mommy match. She makes me wear skirts but I put pants on underneath them. I dont like skirts so much. They're too girly." Allegra thought hard. "I don't know. I like pasta and chocolate pudding. Do you like chocolate pudding? Whats you favorite food?"

"Brownies are my favorite food. Brownies and pickles." Andros smiled.
"Sooooo good!" He finished eating finally.
