"I grew up with older brothers who liked wrestling. The two oldest joined the army." Not lies, just not the truth in answering the question either. "I pick stuff up fast. You have to if you don't want to be a complete victim to siblings." He grinned at the memories that brought up.

Bringing the tray in and heading towards the room that looked to be Athena's, he suggested, "Come on towards bed. I can locate a book for you if you wish."
