But Mun,

I thought you said you hated me? Or was it that my story has been told so often that there's nothing left to tell?

In any case, I'm glad you changed your mind. ♥ And I can assure you there's plenty left to tell. The secrets are in the details. Details, I might add, dear mun, that are very frequently overlooked.

I knew you would come around eventually. But please, do, keep going on about how surprising this is to you. You make a girl feel special.

Are you to become a worldwalker then?

I don't think you have the stamina for it, lamb.

[cherchezlafemme]

I don't have to justify these decisions to anyone, given that they're not mine to justify, but then again, I guess I've always had to answer for decisions that aren't mine. In any case, I don't see why I have to justify them to you, Cassandra. After all, I'm not the only plaything of a god, now am I?

[cassie_of_troy]

No. Just the bastard of one.

This bitchfest is beautiful, thank you for this.

[cherchezlafemme]

Come now, being a demigod is nothing to be ashamed of. Aeneas can boast the same. And if the rumours are true, Troilus can as well. I don't see you condemning either of them~.

I've been dying to play off of a Helen!

[cassie_of_troy]

I would hardly say anything against Troilus.

Unlike you, I don't turn my back on family.

<3

[cherchezlafemme]

And I don't turn my back on what the gods ask of me. Oh, look at that, we're back to where we started. If you're doing to condemn a girl, Cassandra, perhaps you should find a better reason. Though, honestly, I don't know what I've done to vex you so. I never intended you any harm. Things as they are, you're like a sister.

Or perhaps that's things as they should have been. My mistake.

[cassie_of_troy]

A sister? Now there's a laugh. Considering how your sister handled me.

[cherchezlafemme]

Ugh, can we not get caught up in my sister's poor decisions? Why she would even want that boar back to begin with is beyond me.

[cassie_of_troy]

On that much we can agree Helen. Especially considering what he did to your darling niece.

Ah, the House of Atreus.

[cherchezlafemme]

Hardly a man fit to be a King of Kings. And yet they listen anyway. If that isn't divine doing, I don't know what is. Which is silly, of course, because I do.

[cassie_of_troy]

Helen, you are many things. None of them silly.

So what's to become of you, lamb?

[cherchezlafemme]

Oh, you might be surprised.

I've no idea. This mun hasn't said anything on it yet. It would be nice if she made up her mind one way or the other.

[cassie_of_troy]

They're difficult creatures. Petty. Cruel as the gods.

[cherchezlafemme]

Oh, and they spread their favor far too thin sometimes. I'm acquainted enough with competition, but even I know when I'm not the favorite.

[cassie_of_troy]

Yes. Well. How new for you.

[cherchezlafemme]

Cassandra, you wound me.

[cassie_of_troy]

And here I thought that nothing could get to your heart.

[cherchezlafemme]

Not much can. Except your brother, of course~.

[cassie_of_troy]

Well, your poor judgment was as much a matter of the head as the heart.

[cherchezlafemme]

I still firmly assert that this was Aphrodite's doing. Though, honestly, compare Paris and Menelaus. The choice isn't exactly difficult.

[Right, except when Paris proves to be a coward, and you got nothing that you bargain for. STILL.]

[cassie_of_troy]

Do be sure to tell your daughter that, someday.

[cherchezlafemme]

Hermione will understand.

[Or she'll be bitter about turning into her mother, but does that really matter?]

[cassie_of_troy]

I hope so. For your sake.
