[SWE] curb your enthusiasm

Erebos let his attention wander from sights and sounds all over, registering a mixture of elemental fixtures and wonders – potentially too much for his mind. But then, while his brain was buzzing, he heard a call from nearby. Turning, he waved to Marcus. “Hiiiiii!” he called back with rapt enthusiasm; but recalling the hybrid’s gall from earlier seasons, he half-pondered if he should be doing something else – more, more, and more, in a lad’s glorified ambition.

But then someone else approached, and he had to garner his attention there – with wide-eyed compunctions and loose-hanging jaws towards Nina. “Yeah, that’s me! Are you the new Keeper of the Flame? That’s so cool! Is it fun to work with fire all day? Is that your companion? How did you get it?” He would’ve continued with the range of questions had his father not reminded him of what they were actually there to do, and grinned, climbing on the hellhound’s back with ease; a tried and true method of keeping both Ignatius in line at times. “Yeah, you should come with us! We’re going to get so much food and I’m getting a sparkler!” He waved one hand around as if to pretend he’d be doing the same with the intended purchase, before beckoning and waving as Deimos began to move.
