Odin Arrow had over three top embarrassing events that would haunt him for the rest of his life and make routine visits every so often while lying awake starring at the ceiling. In spot three was the infamous time Crow and Raven bust open the bathroom door and caught him singing in the shower, but now a new challenger event was competing for the number three spot.
It probably wouldn't have been as bad if Ava and Maggie hadn't been there.
No one said a word on the commuter shuttle back to the rental ship. Ava was looking to the side as she sat next to Odin, Maggie across from the two was rhythmically tapping her finger on her thigh.
Odin looked up, down, to the side, and everywhere but at Maggie or Ava. Would this god awful shuttle never arrive ? Would he be trapped forever on a continuous purgatory like vehicle where the only sound was the occasional cough.
"O-oh god" Odin whispered "i-it finally happened, I'm in hell."
"Are you implying that you weren't already in hell?" Pedri coughed up some dragonflies with a huff and a sneer as he began to prepare a long winded ramble at Odin.
"F-F-Fine ! You wanna p-p-play like t-t-t-that ?!" Odin snapped back, not even caring that Maggie and Ava watched with a shared worried glance. He was not in the mood, he grabbed for his pipe and florem mortem instantly, ready to obtain some satisfaction from watching Pedri scramble with the inability to be heard, just like Odin with his stammer.
Before he lit the pipe with a flick of his wrist a loud speaker buzzed to life.
"Sir.." the megaphone in the corner whirred and crackled, it probably hadn't been used since Wrathia ruled over her empire, "Sir, there is no smoking on the shuttle car, please dispose of your pipe at once."
"HAHAHAH, TiTAN and his dictatorship over the shuttle domain have bested you." Pedri began to hum a loud obnoxious tune as he drifted in the empty seat next to Ava. Odin simply put his face in his hands, praying that maybe the shuttle would spontaneously combust or perhaps this was all just a bad dream.
Ava after a moment began to softly speak.
"There was this one time that our class got an ice-cream treat, and so I ate so much that when my teacher asked what was wrong I couldn't respond and puked all over her dress…."
Odin, Maggie, and Pedri all turned silently with disbelief. Ava just starred at the ground kicking her legs back and forth.
"I dated this one kid.." Maggie spoke quietly and quickly, like she was telling a clip of gossip about someone close by " and the kid's mom called and broke up with me for him."
Pedri laughed at her comment, much to Odin's surprise.
Ava then began to follow with another embarrassing story, and then Maggie, and then back to Ava. The stories ranging from break ups in the shower to being trapped in an auditorium while the TiTAN orchestra played their symphony no.9 on repeat.
Pedri even left Odin alone for once. Pedri for once let Odin enjoy a moment.
