I'm not going to hide it. [Apollo's face does nothing to hide his dismay at the suggestion. Sure, it's weird and surprising to gain a sibling after twenty-some years, but that doesn't mean he's going to bury his head in the sand and pretend their connection doesn't exist. Even if Trucy wasn't the sibling in question, it just isn't Apollo's style. Family, surprise or not, is important.]

Look... [Though the people around him would call him an open book, Apollo is becoming more and more aware of his struggles to open up to people like he's trying to do with Trucy now.] I know I'm probably not what you had in mind for a big brother. [He gestures between them now.] We're really different. But I want this to work. We can make this work. Somehow.

[This time he offers her a tentative smile.] Despite our differences, we've made a pretty great team so far, don't you think?
