she kicked my brain until I gave in

[splendorous]

[ A happy, content little sigh escapes the Charite and she clasps her hands together, hips swaying. ] Oh, Sweetling, you did not have to make me this little journal. I mean, I am only one Charite. And while I am the Charite who Teiresias called the Most Beautiful, even among my sisters and Aphrodite, I don't think it's that big of a deal.





[ She breaks into squeals and laughs. ]

All right. Yes, it is that big of a deal. And I do not care if I sound egotistical. But who could blame me?!! And no, Aphrodite does not count!

Sincerely,
Aglaea, Charite of Beauty and Grace

Well, it's a big deal if she ever sees this.

Or you.

[ this is kind of awkward. ]

Hey.

[splendorous]

She is never fun when the joke is on her.

[ yo Athena! What up guuuuurl? ]

How are you doing, 'Thena?

[ Echo's mouth forms a perfectly round O - as in, 'how lovely she is!' - until she slowly recites the very last of her address: ]


... of beauty and grace.

[splendorous]

[ Aglaea throws her arms into the air and shouts excitedly. ]

Echo!! Oh, how I have missed you!

[foni]

[ She waves her hands excitedly, bounding over to her. ]

... have missed you!

[splendorous]

[ She throws her arms around Echo and gives the girl an affectionate squeeze. ] You look as nimble as ever! I hope my mother-in-law has been leaving you be, Sweetling. It just would not do if she caused you trouble.

[foni]

... Sweetling ... caused you trouble ...

[ Meh, she shrugs. Generally, she's been unscathed since The Big Incident. And leaning towards indifference tends to have better results than even hinting at her true feelings on the matter. She gives Aglaea another squeeze before release. ]

[splendorous]

[ Algaea giggles, keeping an arm around Echo. ]

That's good. She's been loss crotchety since modern age started. Less women willing to sleep with Zeus, after all...

[foni]

... less women willing to sleep with Zeus, after all ...?

[ She tries to make sense of this. The world she's seen seems more populated than ever before! How is that possible - less women ... ? ]
