"You can borrow my sandals." He then joked. Ever the jester he was. "Still, I can see why you have such dreams. And I don't blame you."

A soft giggle escaped her as she gazed down into the chalice, biting her lip lightly as she pondered that. She shook her head then, a pretty smile on her lips as she looked up.

"Enough of my troubles while I have such rare company. I'd love to hear of some of your ventures, sir."

"Oh, the story about the first day I was born, how about that one?"

"Very well." He began. "The first thing that I did was I ran to the nearest town, and that's where I learned about who I was, and that I was a god. After that I got bored and went out walking when I came across a heard of cows, and it turned out to be my brothers, so to amuse myself I stole them, and he was none the wiser."

"Wasn't the only thing." He said taking another drink. "When I got them to my cave I sacrificed some of the cows to the gods, including me and my brother, then taking a turtle shell and some strings I invented the lyre that used to put mother to sleep just as she was about to wake up and catch me in the act."

Lena laughed then, tugging on a strawberry blonde curl habitually.

"Oh, your poor mother. How did she ever survive raising you?"

"Well I ended up back on Olympus the same day." He explained in the same one one explain how the weather works

Lena gave him a confused look, tilting her head slightly. Did mothers not stay with their children as her own had?

"She did not return with you?"

"No, I had to run because that was when my brother found me and wanted me to return his cows." He sipped as if nothing were out of the ordinary.

"The just thing to do, I suppose." She murmured, sipping lightly at her Ambrosia and shifting to pluck a sprig of asphodel that grew beside her where she sat.

"What's your domain by the way?" He asked watching the flowers around her. "And what stories do you have?"

Lena blushed lightly, lifting the flower from the earth and settling it in her lap.

"I have been named the Goddess of Spring." She said softly, toying with the petals of the flower. "And...I am only a girl long sheltered by her mother. I have no good stories to share."

"Well that's a shame." Meres said downing the last of his chalice. "You make for a nice drinking partner at least, I'd like to know what you'd be able to do."

She tilted her head slightly, giving him a confused look. "What I can do? As in...what I control?"

"Who would you bed?" For one thing.

Lena choked on the Ambrosia, giving him a bewildered expression. "Even if I knew such an answer, why would I choose to share? Is that not personal, or do the gods have different boundaries?"

"Both." He answered holding back an uproar

She huffed slightly. "Then I choose not to answer that question."

Besides, she didn't exactly have an answer...

"I saw you smile when I tossed you his chalice." Meres then said as he hid a smile behind the chalice he was using.

Lena blushed a little, but snorted in amusement. "Can a woman not smile at the thought of a companion? I don't need to wish to sleep with him to smile at his thought."

"If that was the case sure." Meres explained while he still hid his grin. "But you're blushing too, and that says mich more."

Lena went to argue, but only let out an irritated huff, unsure of what to say in such an argument.

"So I get the point?" Meres, done with his a,bros is lowered his cup to show the grin he was hiding all this time.

"No." She stated bluntly, stubborn nature showing through as she refused to let him get the better of her.

For the very first time during their conversation Meres's face dropped as he looked at her before saying.

"Then what's the silence about?"

Lena smiled softly, hoping to lift his spirits just a bit.

"I was unsure of what to say without giving you the impression that you're right."

(sorry, fell asleep)

(It's fine I wound up staying out all day)

"But aren't I?" He felt her smile was charming, and was enough to decide fighting over who was right wasn't well worth it so he grinned back, albeit slightly

Lena hummed slightly, giving him a slightly mischievous smile and a wink.

"I'll never say."
