[ Her brightness is as slight as his own can be, but he senses it all the same. And that is ultimately keeps that ghost of a smile on his face that much longer, warmth lingering in the air long after it actually dissipates.
She is right in saying that that name means nothing to him. All the intricates and the power that mark Athena as a goddess to be feared and in awe of are lost on him. However, he understands what saying it means. It's an extension of trust. Something that they'd both had an unwavering amount of in the dream.
