❛ are you alright ? ❜ ( to aphrodite from hestia )

                            A simple grin spread over Aphrodite’s lips as she glanced towards him, her shoulders shrugging just a touch. “I’m as good as I can be,” she said finally, because it was the only answer she could really give. Could even think to give. “Thank you, for asking. But I’m managing. Through… Everything.” It was hard, juggling her own issues with jealousy and insecurity, when she was constantly being bombarded with things her own mind called threats. She had to be better. And that was the hardest.

@godmyths !

Comfort among gods may be considered foolish by some, but to Orpheus it comes as second nature ; sun-kissed smile, lyre at his side ( never seen without the instrument, an extension of himself as if tethered to his very soul ).

“no one will hurt you as long as i’m breathing.” ( from ares )

oh,  that’s all she’s ever wanted to hear from him,  isn’t it ?  it settles something deep in her chest,  something that hadn’t stopped stirring since she was first claimed by the god of war himself.  but yet,  nevertheless . . .   “ you can’t protect me from everything. ”   comes a small voice.  she knows very well that he could,  but charlotte has always felt like enough of a burden to him simply by being biologically related.  eyes search his for something,  anything ;  a flicker of regret,  or insincerity,  anything,  and she finds nothing of the sort.  

head bows momentarily.  she can attempt to gather her thoughts all she wants ;  charlotte has never had a gift with words.   “ you . . . ”   lips purse.   “ i am the way that i am because of you,  and who you are.  i’ve ---- trained every day since mom realized i held a butter knife like it was a trench knife.  i can’t sit out from the fight,  and i can’t fight without expecting to get knocked around a bit.  how --- how about we compromise ?  if i ever get knocked on my ass so badly that i can’t get up,  then you gimme a hand ? ”

meme.     @godmyths     accepting !

from here !

 she doesn’t dare sniffle or mope ---- especially not in his presence.  god or not,  this is her father,  and she’ll be damned before she disappoints him in any way.  she finds a certain peculiar comfort in his words --- it will become second nature.  yes,  it’s already feeling that way,  the uncomfortable shedding of her previous ways molding into a more harsh climate.  

 she matches his gaze,  looking at eyes that mirror her own quite starkly.   (  his gaze is less calculated than usual,  she notices.  yes,  it’s the same way she looks at those she’s unsure of ;  to assess their skill,  to determine their strength . . .  )   despite her resolution to display unwavering stoicism before her father,  eyebrow quirks in slight confusion ---- a prize ?   pause.   “ you ------- ”   eyes are wide with surprise and adoration and pride and shock all at once ;  charlotte thinks this must be what a kid in a candy shop looks like.   “ really ? ”     /     @godmyths !

“I don’t want to hear your suggestions for my personal life.” ( @ demeter from seph ? )

➺❝ Persephone, that is enough. ❞ Her words were trimmed and sharp as she looked her daughter in the eyes.❝ You know that I want what is best for you. I worry for you, you know. The time you spend with him cannot be good for you. ❞ Demeter shook her head, inhaling deeply.

❝ The last thing I want is more of a divide between us, Persephone, I- ❞ She hesitated, letting her neatly folded hands fall to her sides weakly.  ❝ I will leave you alone if you desire, but…❞
