[She leaned in, whispering as if said man could hear:] He gets a pass on calling since he's old and also my dad.

[Leaning away, she folded her arms and went on:] Besides, Athena would wonder who you are and why you're here, and that'd just open a whole other can of worms, because even if she couldn't tell if I was lying, I'm sure she'd be able to tell if you were, and then we'd have to go through a whole night of interrogation!
