“Frank rose, tugged at his shirt, then didn’t seem to know what to do with his hands. At one time, I would have been used to such nervous behavior from mortals I encountered, but now, it took me a moment to realize Frank was still in awe of me. Perhaps, being a shape-shifter, Frank was more willing than most to believe that, despite my unimpressive mortal appearance, I was still the same old god of archery inside.
You see? I told you Frank was adorable.”

“We love to say everything's going to be okay, but honestly there's no way to know. And okay can mean so many different things.
Such as:
This cereal is okay.
The movie, eh, it was okay
I'm waiting for Dad to give me the okay about the road trip.
But applied to people it generally sounds terrible --
So, what do you think about the new kid?
Eh. He seems okay
Yo, I heard about your mom. How's she holding up?
She's okay.
Hey, I heard you lost a kidney. How are you doing, man?
I'm okay.
Okay isn't as comforting as I think people intend it to be.”
― Justin A. Reynolds, Opposite of Always
