after further thought

there's too many eyes around. I'll explore this idea when I come into alone time.' Apollo determined

Apollo stopped joining in. Instead

he stood back spectating the events. To his surprise

seldom did the beasts get past the nine youths. While far from impeccable

their teamwork was also showing improvement. If they continued advancing in the same way

it wasn't far fetched for them to cultivate tacit understanding.'
