𝐖𝐇𝐎: DIOMEDES & ATHENA ( @athenarhea ) 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄: PONTIUS, AUDITORIUM 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: FEBRUARY 2130, WEEK TWO OF THE SUMMIT
Though they had been keeping somewhat of a low profile for the duration of the summit ( how very uncharacteristic ), Diomedes had made the effort to locate the Governance and Tech in Gaia panel – not because she was particularly interested in the topic ( though, she should have been ), but because ODYSSEUS was a panelist, and ATHENA was moderating. Just a few short months ago, they would have openly been here to support them both, but now, Diomedes keeps their gaze low when Odysseus looks into the crowd, and actively avoids him when it is over, instead making a beeline for Athena.
“Wonderful job.” She says as soon as Athena is within earshot, clapping her hands together with a grin. Athena was one of the few friends Diomedes would say they truly trusted – someone who had been there almost as long as Diomedes could remember, always willing to offer a shoulder or some advice ( even if Diomedes’ inclinations to take the advice varied wildly with their mood ), and, even with the scandal that Diomedes was currently wading through, Athena had not abandoned them, which was more than could be said for others.
“Fascinating stuff, really.” They say, “You even managed to make what Icarus was saying sound sort of interesting, so, kudos to you.”
