Kali fiddled with one of the feathers in her hair as she waited for her coffee. It had been a spur of the moment decision to even go for coffee, but she'd had enough of the library.

Eros sauntered in. He wanted something to drink, he was tired of ambrosia, and mortals made great drink. He walked to the counter, to order something.

Kali's attention was drawn to the god she'd found a companion in at the party. It had been about a week since then, and she'd not purposefully avoided godly interactions, she'd just been busy. As such, she hadn't seen him since. She perked up when her name was called, bouncing over to the counter to get her coffee.

Eros spotted the demigod from last night. He sent her a nod and continued to flirt with the barista.

Kali shot him her usual bright smile, taking a sip of her drink as she flitted over to a table. She sat down at the small two-person table, pulling out the book she'd been trying to finish.

"Can I have your number?" The barista asked. Eros laughed. "No, sorry, sweetheart."

Kali snorted as she overheard Eros's conversation, feeling just a bit bad for the barista. It wasn't her fault she was flirting with the not-very-romantic god of love.

Eros winked at the woman before walking away. The poor barista was so flustered that she didn't realize that he hadn't payed.

"That wasn't very nice, you know." Kali mock chided as Eros passed, her book open on the table.

"I'm not very nice," he replied.

"Mm, obviously." She shook her head, the feathers in her hair catching the light as she laughed. "So, out and about in the mortal realm today?"

Eros shrugged. "Well, Olympus is boring, and I have a hotel room in the Underworld."

Kali clicked her tongue, making a 'tchk' noise. "Being immortal must give you an endless amount of free time."

"Well, it gets so booring after a while, you have no idea," he said with an eye roll.

"Sadly, I will eventually." She took another drink from her coffee, wrinkling her nose. "What all do you do to keep from getting too bored?"

"Well, I like to find different places to go to," he said, leaning back. "I've been to Antarctica twice now."

"Antarctica?" She blinked, her curiosity piqued. "What's that like?"

Eros shrugged. "Cold." He remembered the biting wind, the snow, the bright sun on ice, and shuddered slightly.

Kali huffed, a slight pout playing on her lips. "There goes that. I might just go traverse the Sahara or something."

Eros laughed. "Well, that place is hot, and the Sand Guardian is a grouch."

"Guardian of the sand." Kali muttered, suddenly developing an Irish accent. And then she was back to normal. "I like the sun. Never had too much issue with heat, either."

"Well, then we are most certainly not alike," Eros said with a shudder. "Though maybe I just don't like it because of the Guardian."

"I believe our differences might have already been established." Kali said with a small laugh, referring to the barista.
