Athena squeaked in shock, jumping and taking a big step back as he shouted. With wide eyes, she listened to him, not saying anything for a minute or two after he had finished talking, as she frantically tried to think of something to say to him. "I-I'm sorry...", she whispered so quietly, she wondered if he could even hear her.
"I shouldn't have asked, I knew I shouldn't. I-I'm so-sorry.", her lip wobbled, as she opened the terrace door, and went through it without looking back. She walked quickly through the large room, and went out into a corridor, following it for a bit before going into a dark alcove, pausing and taking a few deep breaths as she recovered. Yes, she had been shocked by him shouting, and her heart was still pounding, but she had half expected something similar. She was recovering from her own reprimand, which was so severe she had brought tears to her own eyes. She didn't want to disappoint him, nor did she want to upset him, which is what she had done.
Still in the shadowy alcove, she scrubbed at her eyes, blinking as she took a few more deep breaths, still telling herself off mentally.
