“I-” He hesitated thinking he didn’t quite know what she was talking about but really he knew. It was something that’s been at the back of his mind for a while now. “It’s stupid. Back when the shooting at the MET happened, my mother wanted me to talk to my half brothers to have them protect the house and it’s just been bothering me for a while now.”

As soon as he said it, she was able to pin point the doubt, the uneasiness that settled in her stomach. It melted into a puddle, and then began to work its magic. The second part of her power she had learned while away with her sisters. “I know what’s bothering you,” she looked at him in the eyes, letting the easy-going waves of energy flow from her onto him.

Peitho felt worst with the question. So, she was so bad to hide exactly what was happening in her life. But she didn’t want to expose her problems in front of a stranger. She needed to learn to handle everything alone. “Oh sorry… I am just tired.” She expected be a good liar this time.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

She didn’t believe her, only because the feeling she knew in her stomach was one shared with whatever insecurity this woman had. Aglaea took a good look at her, clearing her throat before holding out her hand. “I’m Camille. And this might be a little weird but I know what tired looks like and it’s not that,” she smiled gently. “I can help.”

[/loses himself in her beauty and happiness, feeling his own blossom] Hello, stranger.

She waits for him to get nearer before wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a much needed kiss. Her new found power easing around him. She wished it would just turn off for a day so she could enjoy being with him. “And where did you run off to, Mister?” Aglaea teased.

[muertedivino]

 The name sounded familiar, extremely familiar. She studied the woman, hoping that maybe she would recognize her if she put a face to the name but it was to no avail. “I do actually.” She admitted. “Unfortunately, I have a very toxic relationship with the tea and coffee they sell here, i’m convinced that i’ve garnered an addiction for it.” She said, emitting a soft chuckle. “How about you? Do you swing by often?”

[aglaea-grace-blog]

She nodded, “I practically live here. The coffee is amazing.”

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros’ eyebrows furrowed a bit in thought. “I’m fine. Been working a lot. It’s been easier with the-” He leaned in to whisper, “powers. I’ve been able to make people fall in love again.” As much as that makes him happy the small smile he gives her doesn’t really meet his eyes.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

His smile never reached to where it meant the truth, and maybe that was Aglaea’s powers working or he was just too easy to read. “What’s wrong?” The grace outright asked him.

[peithowritesdances-blog]

“Thank you.” Peitho said with a friendly smile. She was trying to hide the best she could what was happening inside. But she needed to learn to live with herself again. She smiled, more in calm, when she saw the other woman write. She missed to write, Her thoughts went with her own writing ideas as she took a sip of her coffee.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

Aglaea could feel the draw from the other woman, her powers instantly latching onto the feeling of uneasiness from the other as it spread to her mind. Something was wrong, but with this power, she could tell everything that was wrong. Ignore it. She told herself. But after several moments of debating she looked up at the other. “You okay?”

[aglaea-grace-blog]

Hephaestus: Aglaea, you've got that face on again.

Aglaea: What face?

Hephaestus: The he's-hot-when-he's-clever face.

Aglaea: This is my normal face.

Hephaestus: Yes, it is.

Aglaea: Oh, shut up!

[muertedivino]

“No, not at all.” Psyche said as she sat in the empty seat in next to her. She was glad the woman hadn’t been rude and sent her away, which was what she had expected. “I just thought you could use some company.” She explained with a sincere smile. Well, that and the fact that woman had a golden glowing aura but she wasn’t about to voice that. “I’m Lillian, Lillian Ellis.” She greeted, extending her hand.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

She nodded, “Camille Reeves.” Aglaea almost wanted to tell the woman that she knew her, but she stopped herself and smiled. “You come here often?”

I don't know why you always think that I Always think I'm unsatisfied That I'm tempted by kings with the finest of things But you know that ain't got no truth I don't know why you always think that I'm Unhappy with our paradise That I'm wanting the trees that are growing the green But you know all that I want is you

*blinks a few times before a grin spreads across her face* Hello, stranger.

“Do you care if I sit here? The place is crowded.”

[aglaea-grace-blog]

“Oh, no go ahead, sorry” she took her bag off the chair next to her before going back to her writing. Immediately, her powers began to feel for the person next to her. She still needed to get that under control..

[muertedivino]

Ever since she’d started seeing the auras - it had taken her days of intense research to put a name to the colors- of those around her, she’d been a lot more observant. Deciphering what the colors meant was now her biggest struggle, especially the color gold. So naturally, when she was making her way into the coffee shop she immediately paused upon seeing the familiar golden hue emitting from a woman sitting at an outside table. She glanced inside the coffee shop and back at the woman, biting down gently on her lower lip, before deciding to approach her. “Hi.” She greets warmly, her smile semi weary.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

Deep in her writing and the tastiness of coffee, Aglaea almost missed the greeting before she noticed a presence by her. She turned to see a goddess, Psyche, and wondered for a moment if the goddess knew who she was. “Hello, am I in your way?” she asked, moving her bag from the seat next to her. 

[theo-cupid-ellis]

As he makes his way back to Aglaea he sits across from her and places the new cup in front of her and made himself at home. He was feeling much more relaxed then he was when he first walked in. “Is it rude to say that you look different?” 

[aglaea-grace-blog]

“Thanks,” she told him as she took the cup of hot coffee from him. Aglaea’s brows furrowed a bit. “Maybe just a bit tan since I just came back from the islands.” It was a nice needed vacation with her sisters. She watched him, his body language as he spoke. “How are you?”

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros smiles easily with her calming tone. “If you say so. At least please allow me to buy you a new coffee.”

[aglaea-grace-blog]

She nods, agreeing to his offer as she continues to focus her energy into taking his uneasiness away. She still has yet to pin point what his insecurity is. Waiting for him to come back with her new coffee, Aglaea writes something into her notebook.

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros isn’t paying attention and accidentally bumps into her chair while she’s drinking. When he realizes what he’s done he kneels next to her chair already grabbing napkins to hand to her. “I’m sorry. I was in a rush. Long legs-I really could continue with these excuses if you don’t stop me.”

[aglaea-grace-blog]

She frowned as hot coffee spilled all over her jacket and pants before recognizing the other god. “Oh, it’s okay.. don’t worry.” Aglaea noticed the god’s uneasiness, remembering her new power. “Don’t worry about it, Theo.”
