“Come on sweet girl, eat your food,” she insisted, grabbing a spoonful of Aria’s food and holding it out for her to eat as she popped another bite of chicken into her own. As Aria ate her food, Astrid glanced down at the book she was reading. She was trying to broaden her interests a bit so her time wasn’t just spent at work or with Aria. As she lifted her fork to take another bite, Aria shrieked excitedly, causing her to drop her fork. “Shhh, sweetie,” she insisted, turning to apologize to the people nearby before she saw what her daughter was shrieking about. “Is that Uncle Herc?” she asked her daughter, but loud enough for the demigod to hear.
