Atlas

"Atlas the baleful, he knows the depths of all the seas, and he, no other, guards the tall pillars that keep the sky and earth apart."

I told you already.

"…An apology doesn’t mean anything if you don’t mean it."

[map-the-stars]

"That doesn't answer my question."

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

I told you already.

Hesitantly enough she sat down, gently touching her bruised lip to see if it was still bleeding. “Yes, all of a sudden,” she retorted. “One minute you act like I’m the last person you want to see, and then the next you’re binding my wounds.”

"Is apologizing now going to make a difference for you?"

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

I told you already.

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

She looked away, her jaws tightened. “It’s nothing. I don’t see why you’re so worried all of a sudden.”

"All of a sudden?" Although his tone was a bit a rude, he still gestured for Pleione to sit down while he pulled out a first aid kit from the back of a closet.

"What? Is that such a horrible idea?"

[map-the-stars]

"Didn't you hate the idea the other day?"

"Then I guess we can just lick it off." She waggled her brows.

[map-the-stars]

"I'll pass."

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

I told you already.

"I fell," she shrugged. "Slipped on some rocks by the shore."

[map-the-stars]

"You're lying."

[styx-goddess-deactivated2014030]

"My sister says I need more men in my life. So… what do you think?"

[map-the-stars]

[threadofexistence]

"I am bleeding, Atlas! It’s in the Gods rule book that you must now kiss it and make it better!"

[map-the-stars]

"You feel into a bush covered in berries, I know that's not blood."

"And why shouldn't I trust him?"

"He was more of a father to me than anyone ever tried to be."

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

[map-the-stars]

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

"That— that’s all you got for me…? All this time without talking and all you’ve got is ‘fine’."

[map-the-stars]

"Yes."

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

"Just fine?"

[map-the-stars]

"Yes."

[pleione-nymphofthesea-deactivat]

"My necklace," she answered quietly. She was too stubborn to admit that she’d come to check up on him, but it was pretty obvious Atlas wasn’t buying it. "… and maybe I wanted to see how you were doing?"

[map-the-stars]

"I'm fine."

"Well, I’ll leave you to continue… whatever it is you were doing," she smiled sheepishly. "Oh, and you should probably think about cleaning the closet up a bit. It looks like a war zone— and don’t forget to water the plants. O-or do, I mean they’re just plants I guess…"

"Yeah, I’m just gonna go."

[map-the-stars]

Part of him wanted to tell her to stay, if she wanted to at least. He knew Pleione, she didn't come here for a necklace. "What did you want?"

[the-goddess-tethys-blog]

Why do you always look so angry, Atlas? 

[map-the-stars]

"Is that how you start a conversation nowadays?"
