Zeus raised an eyebrow.
“I see. Well then…”
Zeus suddenly shifts into a different form , that of a mortal man who looked more a woman she he did, and takes Macaria by the hand into his temple.
“You can be a priestess of mine for the day~”
she is glad both for his quick appearance and his quick actions which are done without any questions asked. so grateful for him.
“ usually. . .i use my cloak. ” she mumbles embarrassed as she plays with the fabric of her chiton.
Zeus was not expecting any return mail, so when I dove flew at him, he seemed confused. That was until he noticed the letter and took it.
“Heh…adorable.”
He smiled to himself, propping the note against a paperweight in his office, adhering it to the outside facing him.
A —
this brings a smile to macaria's lips.
in return she sends a dove with a letter in reply.
《 the morning light paints the sky with hues of gold, your hearts gives me warmth against the cold. each step besides you turns the paths divine, each passing hour becomes bright. +
“Alright.”
No questions asked. If Macaria needed something, he would grant it. So he takes her in his arms and leaves.
He wasn’t sure if it was simply those in the underworld who irked her or gods in general, so he would have them appear behind one of his temples.
“Do you —
A basket of flowers, wine, and some pasties left for @LUNARWLNGS.
In the basket a note as well:
{In quiet dawn, standing upon the mount’s edge, when the light of day unfolds the world anew.
Your words invite my ears to hear new songs in breathing life. With every glance to —
A light chuckle, Zeus steps closer and takes her hands in his.
“I love you so much, Macaria.”
A kiss to the back of one of her hands. Then a step closer to steal a kiss from her lips.
“I’m sorry I hurt you. Truly. No one as amazing as you deserved that.”
Zeus lets out a breath he wasn’t aware he had been holding onto, putting the rings back into his pocket.
“I’ll take that over never seeing you again.”
Cue the tears. He is just so happy and relieved that Macaria would even give him this much of a second chance.
“I really —
she stares at the ring box, unblinking. she wants to say yes. her heart is beating so rapidly, aching for her to say yes.
“ i really want to say yes. . .jump in your arms and say all belongs to the past but. . .i think the reason we keep on getting into such arguments 》
He hates this.
He hates this so much.
Why can he not still be friends with her? Why did he have to say her name at that time? Why…
“I am sorry…”
Zeus mumbled, still unsure if he should be speaking with her. Pathetic that the king of gods should be so timid in his house.
She barely registered his nod. She gave a small court and looked back to her files.
She didnt smile, she didnt say a word. Just the sound of her heels.
Her mind was elsewhere
Perhaps train her grandson well and hope he takes her place.
— pales. He starts to panic.
What if he gets caught speaking to her outside the courtroom? Would he be accused of cheating once more? Who could blame anyone for thinking such a thing.
Still, he isn’t one to completely ignore others either. So he simply nods in acknowledgment.
Normally, Zeus wouldn’t mind working with Themis.
Recently, Zeus would even try to get in her good graces by telling her how much he truly did still love her, even if they were not able to be together anymore.
Today? Today Zeus hears those heels he knows so well and his skin —
@Panellenios
She wouldn't see him often she would try not to
But the few times she does, all she felt was disappointment in him and herself
For how much she loved and still loved him
Yet she could not handle seeing him longer than necessary
Ah.
Yeah. He understands now. And perhaps in this moment he should not, but that causes him to chuckle slightly. Not because the idea was preposterous or because he did not take her words to heart. No, but because—
“Even now you teach me to see things I have never seen —
“ because in the moment you were upset you were thinking of someone's blue eyes. so it means i'm not the one in your mind. how would you feel if i talked about. . .i don't know charon's eyes ? i want to be with you. but who's to say you won't leave me ? then what of me ? 》
— with a jewel of amber and one with a pink tourmaline.
“I realize I never gave you a ring. So if you will have me, make this our promise—my promise. No chains. No locking me away. Simply our love binding us.”
Zeus goes to one knee, holding the amber ring up.
