“ It’ s … interesting I guess. There aren’ t very many people besides me except for Dusk and the other constellations. It’ s quite lonely. There isn’ t much to it except for the sea of dreams,” Amaris spoke.“ I assume yours is more lively with your bubbly people, yes?
There it was. The soft spoken voice that always comes from Amaris. Apollo had replied excitedly,“ I guess it is. Everyone is very loud! And also very happy. Plus the flowers grow out of control! It’ s amazing! You should visit one day! Actually, that’ s not a suggestion, you absolutely have to! It’ s so beautiful. You are too but that’ s besides the point …”
Amaris liked seeing the sun deity so happy. It made Amaris smile. Apollo kept rambling on and on and held the conversation, finding new topics to keep the chat alive. They smiled and laughed, and before they knew it, their time was coming to a close very soon.
Apollo never wanted this to end. It was too good. Sure, they would see Amaris in a few hours, but Apollo couldn’ t wait that long, Plus, what if this conversation was a one time thing? If it was, they needed to ask a question.
Apollo held out their left hand and asked,“ Amaris, will you dance with me?”
