🏖 // curiosity draws sara close, but it is the beauty of the woman that holds her in place and she wants to think her mother had been even half as pretty. a purple several shades deeper than sara's own, sleeker too, hangs elegantly like fine silk over shoulder. she finds her voice only after admiration wanes. "what are you doing? i've not known anyone that actually liked sitting under a hot sun."

Upon hearing a soft voice next to her, Sonya turns her head slowly to face its source - a young girl, she thinks, no more than 17 years old, maybe 18 if she wanted to be generous. Long, lilac hair, certainly soft to the touch, and a light smile accompanied by a pair of curious eyes - Sonya cannot help but be reminded of Genny.

“My, aren’t you a darling”, she chuckles, a friendly, inviting smile on her face. “A balanced amount of sunbathing is good for your skin and appearance. As for liking it, well... It’s less that and more that I’m used to it. I’ve lived in the desert for a long time, you see.”

The smile doesn’t disappear from her face as she moves a bit, so that Sara may sit in the shade should she wish to do so while having a little chat. “My name is Sonya. Nice to meet you. Are you not used to this amount of sunlight?”

♨️ but whatever you prefer is fine really!

“Hmm.” She hums as her feet sink into the warm sand on a somewhat secluded trail, hidden among the trees. The big blue-haired guy claims he’s seen something interesting behind those bushes, and Sonya has always been a curious one, so once she has had enough sunbathing, she decides to investigate.

It would appear that the mercenary (Ike, was it?) was not wrong, as the sight that meets them is an unusual one to Sonya: a stone ring filled with steaming water, with a charming little waterfall. Even more lush greenery surrounds it, successfully concealing the spot from the less observant gazes, and they’re far enough from the group now to where, save from a few chirping birds and the hum of the waterfall, it’s almost completely quiet.

A smile creases her lips. Whaddaya know, sometimes you can trust a man. “What a nice little hot spring”, she says, thoughtfully trying the water’s temperature with her hand first - just about perfect, how nice - before sitting by the water’s edge, soaking her feet. “Back where I’m from, places like this were often the only spots where you could find actual, natural life. Not counting crop fields that took generations of work before they produced anything good.”

She shoots Ike a light wink. “Come on. You deserve some rest after training all day, don’t you think?”

6. What’s their favorite way to pass time?

      For Athena it varies from cleaning her weapons, or shield, to reading a book on the rare occasion to seek out peace. She might head out to get a little training or check up on her friends. It’s not unknown for Athena to send a worried text to the people she had, unfortunately, bonded with. Taking naps here and there and scrolling through the ECH0NET is another time consuming thing and playing games on the ECH0. There’s not a lot that can entertain a mass-murdering assassin, so she makes due with what she’s got.

2. Your muse just embarrassed themselves in front of a group. What do they do?

         Athena would lash out in possible anger and humiliation. Accepting the fate that had slammed into her life. It really depends on what she did of embarrassment, but her first resort is anger and storming out of the area as soon as possibly. This will also leave Athena in a sour mood for the rest of the day.

4. How well does your muse get along with kids?

        Not too well. Athena is awkward around people who are younger than she is, more specifically teenager and pre-teens. Being that she’s a mass murdering assassin she doesn’t plan on staying to close to them. Athena’s intention are moral and she doesn’t want to ruin a child’s life, if she can help it. If it’s direct contact then, her feelings to the younger generation doesn’t change. She’ll be fully aware of how capable they really are and not even attempt to converse with them, in fear of a angered mother or them planning to follow in her footsteps. 

10. How can you tell they’re scared?

       When Athena has fear striked far into her heart, the first thing you know how she’s scared is her body language. Her body freezes, tense muscles unmoving as she stares in horror. Then almost a second later her eyes widen. Black pupils shrink in size and the next thing she clutches her fists. This happens in a matter of seconds before she moves into swift action. 

16. What would be the best way to blackmail your muse? How would they react if someone did it?

      Lattes, Atlas backstory, Jess and manipulating her mind with the memories of torture that Atlas put her through. It depends on the blackmail but normally her emotions range from outright rage to sudden sorrow. Don’t do this if you don’t want to die, because she’ll make it a point to kill you on spot, if possible.
