*~*Talia's POV*~*
"Where is it you would like to go?" Lex asked me a little stiffly. Was he trying to get out of this already? Did he not want to go with me?
"It's a bit of a surprise. If you don't mind, can you come with me?" I smiled and tried my best to set his thoughts and fears to rest.
"I am not opposed to accompanying you where you wish to go, Talia, but is there a reason you must do this now?" He tilted his head as he spoke, like he was confused about my evasiveness.
"Is there a reason you started pulling away from me and speaking to me like I was a stranger?" I asked him, starting to get frustrated at how he was responding to me. "I just wanted to do something, I'm sorry for bringing it up."
I knew that I was acting immaturely right now, but I couldn't help it. This was annoying me, and I was tired of him acting like that. Like I was wrong, like Fate was wrong. Like he wanted nothing to do with me, and was just biding his time, until I took him home to the Underworld.
