"No problem!!" Olive beamed. "Sometimes you just gotta talk about this stuff! It's like a rule or something." With a pause, she couldn't help but add, "Never talk to dads about boys. Never."
Dads and brothers and Solomons always made it awkward. They got protective and weird about those topics. Even moms were tricky sometimes, but at least they understood girl talk. Girl friends were always the best for that sort of thing.

Cass almost said "Don't worry, I won't have a chance" but caught herself in time. She didn't want to ruin this by being a downer. And... and maybe she would have a chance to do it. If they couldn't get Cass, they'd have to let her father go. You couldn't charge him without any proof.
So instead, she smiled at Olive, "I kinda figured that out... or at least, I couldn't think of any of the guys I'd want to risk asking. I don't know a whole lot about boys but... I know enough about teasing."

"Yeah! I made the mistake of talking to Sol once," Olive grimaced. "I will never do that again!" He'd been incredibly awkward, and then got protective, and then the advice he'd actually given her totally didn't work. Never ever again.
"I know enough about teasing."
"Ohhh yeah," Olive nodded in agreement. "Teasing! They're good for that too! It's nice to know we aren't so different, us Fauns and Humans! Or... maybe not so nice in that way, I guess."

Cass smiled a little. It was nice to think that everybody was the same, even if the sameness wasn't always a great thing. "It's not all bad... but I won't be telling anybody else about my date except for you. I'm nervous enough without anybody else saying anything."
She walked to the door, and then paused, giving Olive another look, "Thank you so much. I think I'm going to go look up as much as I can on the Underworld. Maybe I can find something to surprise him with. Night Olive."
And then she headed back to her own room. With the door shut behind her, Cass lay down on her bed and undid her legs, propping herself up on her pillow. She looked at the conversation between her and Klove and felt a little flutter in her heart. Her knight in shining armour. And maybe something more, if everything went well.
