"Let's talk somewhere else."
I suggested somewhere other than this room. The last time the two of us were in a closed room, things ended badly, and I didn't want that to happen to me again. I need to build up my trust in him.
I saw Pollux nod his head and walk out of the room. We went down the stairs and made our way down the front hall. The open night air is more suitable for a casual conversation, especially when Pollux leads me to one of the gazebos.
I sat on the far side of the bench, and Pollux remained standing. I folded my arms across my chest, waiting for him to open the conversation first. After many minutes of silence, Pollux finally cleared his throat softly.
"I want to make a deal with you, Godiva."
I raised one eyebrow. It sounded strange to me when Pollux said that line.
