frowning when he walks the Olympus streets, singed robes smelling of sulfur. It's been a long time since he's actually left the bowels of the prison. Olympus doesn't seem to have changed much.
guesses she can...spare a few minutes of her precious time~
doesn't look incredibly pleased, but he is rather furtive. "...I need your blessing," he murmurs quietly.
studies him from head to toe and smiles. "Oh finally you asked! Don't worry, we'll use conditioner for your hair, file those teeth so it's not sharp and scary, and I'll find skin cream.... a lot of it too."
grits his teeth. "...That's not the issue." He crosses his arms, focused on keeping his composure. "My wife and I want to bear a child."
I require an offering for that.
takes a slow breath. "I know." His eyes narrow. "And what do you require from a god?"
what you can offer.... mostly she helps women and they sing songs and offer delicacies.
frowns. There's very little that he has that she would want, after all--and he isn't going to bring Gaia into this. "Peitho's father," he murmured quietly, "is in Phlegethon. I offer...mercy for him. I'm sure-
-your dear friend would appreciate it."
it usually works when I bless the mother.
her a hard look. "She's not the problem."
eyes his pants and chuckles. "Aw don't feel bad. Mortals have the same problem."
narrows his eyes. "That's not what I mean. I'm not impotent. I'm infertile."
doesn't usually bless men....
frowning. What else can he do? "Please." Goddammit.
that's new. "I'll attempt it..."
stands a little taller, hiding nerves over the subject as a whole. "And what does that entail?"
just bless him like how she...blesses women? She touches his stomach. (if you end up pregnant...lol)
' face goes blank and he stares at her. Really? Fine. So long as it works...
did she say blesses women! She takes an olive branch from her hair and slides it from his stomach to his crotch. How awkward.
's eye twitches once. He tries not to make a sarcastic comment. Part of him wonders if she's just doing extra to mock him.
visits women when they are asleep to do this! Like she said, you're the first man to ask her this.
grimaces. So long as it's fast. "It goes without saying that I expect you will never speak of this?" he asks tensely.
tucks the branch in her hair and removes her hand. "Done. And of course."
to fight not to look relieved. "Good." He frowns at the thought, but says, "...And mercy for Oceanus." Ugh.
sighs and bows his head. If this works, he reflects wryly, he'll have to find something nice to give her... "Thank you."
it does. She never tried blessing a man.
the good grace to offer her a polite smile, awkward as he feels, as he turns to go--and hopes vehemently that no other Olympians have noticed his presence.
really thinks he's hard to miss. He's pouring dark aura. It's noticeable.
grimaces at that. He'll have to think of a cover story. No wonder none of them are out and about. "...Good day." Time to go back below ground and pretend this never happened.
giggles at the sight. He's like a worm.
her a dark look at that and starts walking. He wants out of this place.
to point out that his sister is the one to ask for blessings when it comes to child birth. As Artemis is also the goddess of childbirth.
laughs. Yes ask the ugly hunter. Shouldn't you be thinking about the crap you caused her? And she aids with childbirth not blesses. As in, once his wife is pregnant she cant help.
frowns. Aphrodite is the goddess of procreation. He thinks he rather made the right decision. Now why is Apollo in here, all knowing what's going on? Goddammit, he thought he was being discreet...
that Apollo likes to shove his nose in places it doesn't belong.
points one finger at Apollo with a scowl. "Repeat this elsewhere and the sun won't rise the next day." Time to get out of here.
Places his hands up in an innocent gesture. "sorry sorry! Message received!" he promises he wont.
nods once and starts to leave once again. Stick to that, Apollo.
/and this is why apollo is annoying/
to agree with a roll of his eyes before he disappears.
