“That is very exciting news,” Pheaton chuckled. “I’m happy for you. I’m not sure I’m the best to go to advice on buying rings though. I’ve never been married. Not even remotely come close to proposing. But I’ll help as best I can.” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

He laughed.  "I need not your advice on being married, though.  You are an artist, as am I, and I merely need your eye for beauty, my dearest cousin.  And if she says yes, I wish for you to be what in these modern times is called my best man.  Seeing as we have already committed to each other for life, I can confidently say I believe she will say yes."  He grinned.

“Duke, you still haven’t told me what it was you were so excited about the other day. And you’ve still not rescued me from my boredom.” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

Deukalion laughed.  "Sorry, my friend, I got sidetracked."  He grinned.  "I have decided I shall propose to Aedos.  And I wish for your assistance in procuring a ring.  Papa has given me the means to purchase one."

“Since my exile, I haven’t killed that much—” Adam’s voice trailed off and stopped himself from giving away too much. “That’s the complete opposite of my father. As the golden child, I was expected to be perfect and was judged constantly.”

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

Deukalion sighed and clasped his adopted brother's shoulder.  "Well, you now have us.  You are expected to merely be yourself and Papa will love you for you, as will I.  No more expectactions like that."

“I’ll be the judge of how good it is.” He snorted. “But sure, I’ll follow you.” He nodded and began to follow him. “He’s very kind to me. Much more so than my actual Father. I feel like I can tall him anything and not have him judge me.”

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

His smile was gentle and fond and he nodded in agreement.  "He won't.  You could come to him and tell him you murdered someone and he would be sad, perhaps, but he would never judge you.  I grew up with him as my father, luckily enough, and I never once felt judged."  Duke smiled as he walked to the kitchens.

Something to eat would be nice actually. I haven’t eaten anything since this morning. Besides, I hear Greek food is very delicious.

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

He chuckled.  "Greek food is the best food, my dear brother.  And they have only improved since the times that you and I lived in.  Come, I will take you to the kitchens."  Deukalion started to walk in that direction.  "So how do you like Papa so far?"

[veryfirstman-blog]

I— Yeah. That’s me. By “Papa”, I assume you mean Prometheus, right? -lightly shakes the other’s hand, a bit apprehensive- Nice to meet you, Duke.

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

-chuckles-  Oh, where are my manners today?  Yes, Prometheus.  -smiles- Papa told me to find you and say hello.  I am sure I shan't regret it.  Are you hungry?  Are you in need of anything to drink?

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

Oh!  You are the Judeo-Christian Papa told me about.  Adam, yes?  -smiles brightly-  It's good to have you in the family, brother.  -holds his hand out to him to shake-  I am Deukalion, but you may call me Duke.  It's becoming an increasingly popular nickname thanks to our sister, Aedos. -chuckles-

“Ah, I wish you all the luck then. I know you will be successful in whatever you put your mind too.” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

"Thank you, Mama.  Your words bring me hope."

[okeanidpronoia-deactivated20130]

Pronoia laughed lightly. “Smart of you. And you have a friend here as well. Sounds like things are jumping to a great restart for you, my dear boy. Do you need any help with it? Have you got a home?” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

"I must agree, Mama.  And yes, I have been staying with Papa but I may be getting out of your hair and staying with Aedos soon while I get on my feet and work towards rebuilding my kingdom."

[okeanidpronoia-deactivated20130]

“Yes, of course dear.” She brushed back some of the hair in his face and smiled back at him. “What else have you been up to, hm?” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

He smiled and kissed his mother's cheek sweetly.  "Merely researching this time so that I will not wander about looking like a fool.  I found Phaeton - he has been freed from Aphrodite and we spent a good amount of time catching up with one another."  He grinned.

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

His smile was gentle, adoring as he gazed upon the soon-to-be All-Mother.  "Hello, my sister.  Papa has told me much about you - I am glad you make him so very happy.  It is a pleasure - I am Deukalion."

[okeanidpronoia-deactivated20130]

“As long as it was of your own want, then I have no problem.” She replied pleasantly. “I am well though. I figured I should leave the ocean every once in a while now that you’re back.” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

He let out a laugh.  "You know that I am far too stubborn to be forced into anything, Mama.  I listened to Papa's opinion and found that I agreed with him.  It was certainly of my own want."  Deukalion smiled.  "I am glad to hear that."

[okeanidpronoia-deactivated20130]

“Well I certainly hope not.” She replied almost aghast as if he should expect otherwise, but it was merely a tease. Pronoia patted her son on the cheek. “Of course you won’t. Your father seems to have secured that one well enough.” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

"Ah, yes.  Papa gave me the option and I took it."  He flushed a bit and smiled.  "How have you been, Mama?"

[son-of-dawn-deactivated20131104]

“I had hoped Aphrodite would bless me with at least one or two children by now,” he sighed. “But for reasons of her own, she didn’t want any. But as you said, I have time,” he smiled faintly. “And now you have time to build a family again too. Maybe we’ll have sons who can grow together the way we did.” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

He smiled gently.  "I would love nothing more than for that to happen, my friend.  I am sure it shall some day."

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

[son-of-dawn-deactivated20131104]

“Bah, hugs are fine,” Phaeton brushed off the comment about impropriety. He couldn’t help but chuckle at the comment about his baby brother. “Yes, Ari is quite the sensation lately. Being one of the newest gods, everyone seems a bit taken with him. Makes me wish I had some children of my own.” 

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

Deukalion grinned.  "Oh, I am sure you will have some of your own some day.  I did, but I was then mortal and had far less time than you do."

A soft laugh escaped the golden-haired woman as she found herself swept into warm, strong arms, her own wrapping around his neck. “My Duke! I had wondered where you had gone. I’ve missed you so!” Aedos clung to him for a moment, pressing a kiss to his cheek with a smile. She’d truly missed her dear brother, and to see him now was a surprise and a treat.

[founderxkingxofxthessaly]

"And I, you, my sister.  I had gone off to Hades for awhile but I am back and I do not intend on leaving you again if I can help it.  Papa gave me nectar."  He smiled, kissing her forehead gently.  "I hope I have found you in good health."  Deukalion kept his arms around her as they spoke, the smile on his face still bright.
