So then you don't have a thing for beautiful women with pink hair? Especially ones that are goddesses?

[There may be no video, but one can practically hear the grin on her voice now, the initial flush of jealousy simmering just as quickly into amusement. Fjord is cute when he's flustered. She'll get around to the topic at hand in a second.]

[halforc]

I ... apologise?

[ Yeah, that's safest to go with on all counts. ]

[paramounts]

I am only teasing you, dear. You are especially sweet when you're flustered.

[Now then.]

Do you want to sleep with the little goddess? She is very cute, and given the nature of this island it benefits both of you to do so. I can hardly expect to keep you all to myself.

[You know, considering he has a boyfriend and all.]

[halforc]

Not if it bothers you. You're my priority.

[paramounts]

Fjord- [Oh no. There's a warmth that rushes through her at that and it's enough to make her drop the affected tone and when she speaks next her voice is slower, more considered. How dare he make her feel things.]

It would be disingenuous to say that my first reaction was not jealousy.

[The, brightly,] But as long as I do not have to compete with her for your attention then I have no qualms with what you do, dear. Just knowing that I am your priority is enough to make me happy.

[halforc]

You are.

[ He offers up a little more honesty, since she deserves it for being so gracious. ]

I understand. Sometimes I get jealous too.

[paramounts]

Oh?

[That piques her interest.]

Of me? Or because of me?

[halforc]

[ Hah, even though this is all true, it's ego-stroking time. ]

I try not to think of you with other men, I don't want to know who they are. It's better if I don't, especially if I get along with them.

[paramounts]

[Oh ho.]

And what about me with other women?

[halforc]

[ ... Well. ]

I try not to think about that because I'm usually around people.

[paramounts]

[That gets a laugh out of her.]

If you're good maybe I can convince one to let you watch.

[But teasing aside:]

I will have you know that you are the only one who has stayed the whole night in my home.

[Rip sex tent. It lived a short and wonderful life.]

[halforc]

[ whahhsla ok he's down for that!! Maybe. Wow. Takes some effort to drag his mind out of the gutter but he manages it when she softens up his heart again, smiling fondly at her. ]

Oh? I wouldn't mind cementing my victory with a second night some time. [ Which leads on nicely to, ] What's your temple like? Cosy?

[paramounts]

It is very... cozy is a good word to describe it. Plenty of room for a goddess and a handsome half-orc, though! And much warmer than the tent.

Once I complete more auspicious acts, however, it will be really something to look at. I plan on sitting down with the Augur so they understand the full extent of my vision.

[halforc]

Will you remember me when you're famous on the island?

[paramounts]

Do you mean that I'm not already? If I recall events correctly, all of your friends have heard about me long before I met any of them. I wonder where from...

[halforc]

[ He gives her a look, flustered in the way he puffs bangs out of his eyes. ]

It's a real mystery.

[paramounts]

You're always so cute when you're embarrassed, Fjord. How am I to resist making fun when I have the opportunity?

I'm flattered though. I would have done the same, although it seems Thanatos and Zagreus have both returned home. A shame.

[halforc]

[ Through his fluster he's secretly pleased by the attention, although his smile falters when she mentions her absent friends. ]

I'm sorry to hear about your friends. Your new ones seem very ... nice.

[ Although he and Lottie are like two goats butting heads on each occasion they meet. ]

[paramounts]

Hmm, we were more business associates than anything, really. The Chthonic gods do not often intermingle with Olympians back home.

[It's a whole thing! Which also means it will probably be a very long time before she sees either of them again, but she's not going to dwell on that for too long!]

Oh, Lottie and Hilda? They are a delight. Did you have fun with our little game on the network? I should thank Beau for your participation.

[halforc]

[ Gods. Yeah, a big inward shrug instead of trying to unravel the mysteries of those layers. Maybe another time, hmm. ]

It was certainly unexpected.

[ Bathrooms should be sacred, is all he will think about that!! ]

Your friend Lottie, is she ... ? Is she alright? I've run into her a couple of times, she always seems unsettled by me.

[paramounts]

[That's probably for the best. It would take a long time to explain all of the weird God things.]

What do you mean? Honestly, we only met the night of the party but we became fast friends. Perhaps you should use some of your charm on her.

[halforc]

[ He snorts at the idea of trying to charm Lottie. He would probably get another of those narrow suspicious looks. ]

I don't think that would work, somehow. She thinks I'm weird.

[paramounts]

Perhaps she is from a world that men do not come so large and green.

[Said with a fond laugh.]

Have you done anything strange around her?

[halforc]

I didn't do anything strange! She was watching me on the beach when I got out of the water!

[ Because her eyes can't see far or something so she used a device, hokay!! ]

[paramounts]

[Adorable...]

Is that all? Does it make you nervous to have someone watch you swim?
