Her own eyes light up, weight shifting to drape against his back in a playful reenact meant of an ambush.

“ Are we using weapons? “

⠀
⠀⠀❛ Spar with me .ᐣ ❜ A question asked lazily, head turned to gaze up at his wife.

“ How can I chase the boredom away, love? “

⠀⠀Mumbles, ❛ I've been so bored. ❜

Presses a kiss to his forehead.

⠀⠀Nibbles on @aricdne's wrist. 😔

⠀
Truthfully? Ariadne isn’t certain it can be saved, but if anyone is able to, it would be one of the archer twins.
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
The tease in Artemis’ voice plays at the corners of Ariadne’s mouth. How long has it been since she allowed herself to feel such joy in the presence of another woman?

Maenads. They are the only familiar company to her, and yet their presence have always reminded her that—

she let ariadne take the tablet, watching the motion with quiet interest, the corner of her lips curving just a little more, amused.

“ very well —— my mistake in interpreting your words. ”
the tease lingered lightly in her tone. it wasn’t »

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
quick steps carrying her to Artemis’ side.

“ Will you show me how to string a bow? I borrowed one from a mortal who did not seem to care for its condition. “ Hands unfurl from behind her back to lift a sad looking bow. —
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
Humming, Ariadne’s fingertips skate over warm skin.

“ I’d like to think I’m more skilled in this. Being with you. Being right for you. Foolish wishes must have taken root in my head. “
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
Her voice comes out as a laugh, soft and pretty.

“ I have so much time, I can take a break from practice. Besides, practising on my own has proven to be a humiliating experience. I look . . . well, clumsy. “ —
⠀

[𝐃 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 𝐘 𝐒 𝐔 𝐒 @Dioncsus]

⠀
⠀⠀❛ A greeting I cherish. ❜ His reply is sweet, as is his kisses when Dionysus presses them against Ariadne's arm.

He sinks into her touch.

❛ No sword practice today .ᐣ ❜ He recalled she wanted to try it, no so long ago.
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

@Dioncsus || wdym they cut your hours again 😭
you & me should come up with a master plan to richness yes

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
“ I simply thought you would let me wait for a night or two. “

After all, she would never be in denial of the goddesses’ duties.

“ But I do not wish you to leave. I will gladly occupy your time with unimportant matters. “
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
“ I’m not claiming that I didn’t leave that message. “ Ariadne returns with a layer of playfulness in her own voice. She steps closer then, plucking the wax tablet free to underline the request with a perfectly filed nail.
⠀

[⌖ ͏𝕸𝐨𝐨𝐧𝖑𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 ͏↠ 𝑷𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑬 .ᐟ @actiaslunas]

that was a rather clever solution for something artemis wasn’t entirely sure how to arrange herself.

“ did you not ? ”

her hand slipped into the hidden fold of her chiton, retrieving the wax tablet and holding it up between her »

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
weight shifting onto her knees to greet the other woman.

“ I didn’t expect to see you this soon. Which is a pleasant surprise, of course. “
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
A promise of more time together was all Ariadne hoped to achieve with her note for the goddess.

And so surprise catches her at the root of excitement when Artemis appears near the patch of grass she claimed for herself.

It plays with the corners of her lips, —
⠀

[⌖ ͏𝕸𝐨𝐨𝐧𝖑𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 ͏↠ 𝑷𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑬 .ᐟ @actiaslunas]

steps slowed —— eyes, ever trained , spotting something out of place.

artemis shifted course without thought, approaching in quiet curiosity.
fingers brushed the wax tablet, turning it just enough to read.
her lips curved before she realized »

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
Hangs a wax tablet near a tree which she is certain of @actiaslunas will pass on her path.

“ Teach me how to hunt at your side; I showed you how to dance. ꨄ︎ “
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
“ A greeting. “ Her arms around him tighten, warm lips pressed to his exposed shoulder. “ Love. “
⠀

[𝐃 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 𝐘 𝐒 𝐔 𝐒 @Dioncsus]

⠀
⠀⠀It is only because the material smells of Ariadne that Dionysus does not recoil. He breathes in sharp —— the scent of her, cool hands to his temple —— and starts to grin.

❛ What is this .ᐣ ❜
⠀

[𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐃𝐍𝐄. @aricdne]

⠀
Cool hands reach out from behind to cover @Dioncsus eyes with a piece of material that smells of the flowers she wears in her hair.

|| apologies for the inactivity (once again), but I can’t catch a break currently. I lost my soul cat and I haven’t been the same since. We were attached at the hip and he was my very best friend, so things have been rough. Will return when I can✨
