The comment had been sharp and spiteful, Morrigan in no mood to deal with the attitude of a demigod. Especially while she was in the Pits. Despite new management the place still stunk of Ares and if she inhaled too deeply she felt she might gag. So perhaps the words had been.... what would Amaterasu say? Uncalled for? Nonetheless they had apparently struck a cord within the boy.
“You couldn’t fathom what might stroke my ego.”
Taking a step towards him the goddess actually paused to rake clever eyes from head to toe; and what a picture he made... practically coiled like a snake ready to strike in his sweatshirt and frown. A huff of bemused breath escaped her and lacquered lips curled just so. Tilting her head up to compensate for differences in stature she really assessed him, lashes lowering and tongue darting out. Breaking the eye contact she held with him her gaze slid down his jaw, to the junction of his throat and then a minute ripple of something passed over her face. A familiar trace.
Making a low noise of amusement she pressed the envelope she held to his chest, holding the connection for a long moment before she let go and stepped back.
“I can only imagine what better things you have to do, but before that won’t you deliver this to your boss? Give her the Morrigan’s warmest regards and congratulations on replacing that waste of space who used to be in charge?”
