Pearls of the Stars

Nan looked over her shoulder. "But then I wouldn't get to be the strong independent woman I am! I hear it's all the rage these days."

Apollo: I smile. "But you aren't of these days."

Persephone: I shrug. "It was just a lapse in rational thinking. Nothing serious," I say, trying to cover it up.

Ares smirked. "And what was your laps about?"

Nan stopped and leaned against Apollo. "Doesn't mean I can't keep up with the times," she purred.

Persephone: "Things human usually think about," I whisper.

Apollo: I look down at her, amused. "Sure you can."

Ares looked down at her. "Gods, too," he says. "We are allowed to be lustful when we like."

Persephone: "But I'm also married," I say, the words burning on my tongue.

Ares chuckled. "That never used to stop us before..."

Persephone: "Stopped you before." I sigh. "But it is night."

Nan smirked and turned, hitting him across the face with her hair. "Come on, I don't want to be even later than I am already."

Ares waves off her fact absentmindedly. "It is night," he confirmed.

(Hey guys, don't know if ya'll would be interested, but I just posted a thread about ninjas and samurai and feudal Japan)

Apollo: I grin. "But I didn't know we were late. See, we have this sort of miscommunication between us. You know where I'm going, but I don't."

Persephone: I smile, playing with the fringe of my jacket. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind one night," I say, glancing up at him.

"I'm sure he wouldn't either," Ares nodded with a slightly amused smile. "But that's up to you of course."

Persephone: I take a smile step closer. "It's been getting a little boring."

Ares nodded. "Earth seems to do that after a while."

Persephone: I frown. "I don't want to think tonight, Ares."

Ares chuckled. "I completely agree. Tonight shouldn't be boring at all."

Persephone: I raise an eyebrow. "Thinking is boring?"

Ares smirks, leaning over to be eye level with her. "Thinking is...very boring."

Persephone: I kiss him softly. "How would you know?" I say teasingly. "You seem to have all the fun."

"War is about action, not thinking. It's in my nature," i say softly, hooking an arm around her waist.

Persephone: I giggle. "What else is in your nature?"

"A need for some excitement," he murmurs, leaning down and kissing her.

Persephone: I wrap my arms around his neck. "Wouldn't that call for someone else, then? Or is it because I'm the wife of the Lord of the Underworld?"
