Thomas rolled his eyes, "First, she's two years younger then me, I'm only 21. Second, what is this fetish you have for pretending we get to grow old? You are going to die before the age of thirty. We're demigods, we have an exasperation date. You may be happy living your life with non existent time, but Jesse and me AREN'T. Demigods don't get long term. Jess or me may be dead tomorrow. Hell to be fair, I'll probably die getting Jesse's book, the library is the realm of a spirit that in said library is as strong as any god that isn't a member of the Big 3. That's part of the reason why I made her my concubine, if a demigod gets married it's blessed by their divine parent. Because I married someone, anyone else I marry is seen as me cheating, but my wife is dead. The Concubine bond isn't as strong, when I die, Jess will be free to move on and have her next relationship. Besides she's happy, so what if it's a bit destructive to both of us? We care for each other and we're happy."
Thomas then added, "Also, to be fair, I think my father had a hand in last night. Think about it, we were all wounded from the fight, but none of our wounds effected us, except for yours which was more of a stamina thing. Also, me and Jess were 100% healed. Plus the bond oath just appeared in my mind, and I felt a need to do it. But honestly, I don't regret it, and you can wake up and ask Jess if she says she does I'll kill myself to end her torment."
