”You are not wrong. But I have found I am being invoked in many
places that are not my home.”
“How fare you?”
"How well does any of our kind ever fare?" Athena is goddess with a heavy mind, full of worries. Her manners are often left by the wayside. "I apologize, that was short. I am fine, Epona. Yourself?"
"I would be delighted to have your company, but I’m not the only one you have to ask."
"Of course, I wouldn't wash to overstep myself." Athena did not fear Hades, but to cause strife among her family needlessly was not wise.

"Hello, Athena."
"-- Epona. You are far from home, are you not?"
"Oh, right-" he wants to laugh at his own stupidity, but his tongue is stilled by the one inside of him. There is a struggle there, internally, for power over speech and eventually Hayden wins. He stutters, “y-yes, I would, actually.” Then steps forward, “can I help you carry one of them things?”
"Oh, that would be lovely of you, thank you so much." She unloads a manila folder of papers onto him, free hand sweeping back stray locks of long brown hair. There had been a moment where she thought he wouldn't accept--
But he had, and the thread of recognition grows all the stronger. The ancient power and intellect within Charlotte is pleased, and Athena stirs more forcefully than she ever has before.
Her head tilted for a moment in surprise, lifting one arm to offer the goddess a seat at her side. ”How fitting that you should find me, then. What brings you so far from the heavens?”
"A battle that is just and well-fought is nearly a siren song to me. I thought I would come to congratulate the victor." Athena smiles faintly, gray eyes bright and meeting Andromeda's gaze easily. "I could grant a boon, if you would ask something of me that is within my power to grant."
"For a long time I didn’t believe much in anything," this admission leaves him quick, as if worried he might lose her interest if he doesn’t hop to saying something, anything. "But now I can’t not believe. I’m sorry, this is a.. very weird sorta conversation t’be havin’ with a complete stranger,” so he awkwardly sticks his large hand out. "I’m Hayden, how d’ya do?"
"I'm Charlotte, it's nice to meet you. I'd offer to shake your hand, but." She hefts the folder of papers and tilts her head toward the door of her apartment. "Would you like to-- would you like to come in? Would you like a drink?"
She shouldn't, probably. A stranger, talking about fate (--fates, you foolish thing, a set of sisters, unfathomable and strange--) and she's inviting him for a glass of water or a cup of tea.

… did she leap from Zeus’s brow.
i just made myself sad. i was contemplating who i could use as a faceclaim for a younger/teen!athena
and then i remembered that she didn’t have a childhood. ._.
nissa i swear 2 zeus
YOU'RE TELLING ME!! like she doesn't know any children's games or songs, will never have her parents talk about her first steps. she only knows responsibility, logic, battle. if we go with the version where zeus swallowed metis because of a prophecy, her own father didn't even want her ot be born because he was scared of her being better than him?? which is what most parents should want for their children????
lbr i need a dark au where athena is a fallen goddess, waging war against those who have slighted her or her people. a brilliant strategist with a mind filled with cold logic and heart full of a burning need for revenge.

"I do. Hades has set aside an area so I can continue with my gardening my practices. I’ve even gotten him to start a small lot for himself."
"Truly? That is almost enough to make me think of visiting, if you'd like to have a guests."
"Thank you," the girl smiled. She held her arm out and awaited for the fellow Goddess to wrap her arm around it. "I am sure the flowers will thread themselves into a crown in your honor."
"You're a sweet thing," Athena says, and means it. True kindness is so rare among her brothers and sisters, her cousins and family. Almost rarer still is true youth, something she herself has never experienced. "I'm sure the gardens will be all the brighter for your presence. Do you have anything like them to keep your time occupied when you're not here with us?"
“It is a credit to my training and prowess, but I thank you for the compliment. They call me Andromeda of Themyscira. Who wishes to know?”
The woman has cause to boast, and Athena will not begrudge Andromeda her victory celebrations. "I am Athena," the goddess says simply, hands clasped in front of her.
"And you believe in ‘em?" his voice lifts, the lilt of the Deep South catching on the words thickly. The last of the summer breezes sift through the city buildings and dance between the two. The winds threaten her hair, her papers and he looks ready to pounce on any stray essays that take flight. "The fates, I mean." Never just fate, always them, they, plural.
She's not sure how to answer such a heavy question, her own skin feeling too small to contain what she thought of fate-- the fates, three forces in the lives of everyone, mortal or-- -- --
"I think everyone does, in their own way, don't you?"
