Victoria noticed the boy's flirtatious smile and looked at the sky. Why were demigods so flirty?
She caught the phone.
"I'll repay you the call in drachmas," she told him, before typing her father's number.
He almost immediately took up.
"Allô?" he asked in French.
"Salut Papa, c'est Victoria! Tu vas bien?" she answered, turning her back to the boys and speaking in a lower voice.
They exchanged the formal "How are you? - Good and you? - I'm fine" and Victoria raised the subject of inviting Justin during the February break. He told her it wouldn't be possible because he had a reunion in Stockholm about the isostatic rebound in the Scandinavian countries.
"Mais vous pouvez venir pendant les vacances de Pâques, si tu veux. Et si tu veux, tu peux en inviter un deuxième, ça ne me gène absolument pas! J'ai toujours rêvé de rencontrer d'autres demi-dieux..."
Victoria immediately thought of Jason, but didn't raise the topic.
"J'y réfléchirai," she simply said, and asked him if he would be okay with paying Justin's ticket.
"...Oui, si tu veux," he finally said.
"Super Papa, tu es génial!"
They talked for some other moments, told each other goodbye, and Victoria hung up.
She tossed the phone back to Drew.
"Thank you," she said, and gave him ten drachmas. "See you, then," she said and left his bunk.
