(i can see you're dying)

Havenwood walked away from her, humming again.

(okay so we gotta plan this out
the first night she sleeps w him because she's emotionally stressed
the second because she's sick and cold but he's warm
the third because of bad dreams
and ??)
Elise was still curled up into a ball by the time the sun was high in the sky, but her eyes fluttered open for a second time and she rolled over, tired but willing.
"I want to make something," She called into the other room, where Havenwood should be - but no, he was out and about somewhere outside the cabin.

Elise grunted and rolled out of bed. Trudging to the kitchen, she took a fistful of silverware, a butcher's knife, and a ladle, and went outside to find the hottest place possible - which, in mount Olympus, would obviously be Hephaestus, god of blacksmithing.

After what seemed like hours of walking in no particular direction, Elise came across a cliff. It was one of those cliffs ending in a sharp point, like in movies. And sitting at the edge, with an owl crown and a spear, it could only be Athena, goddess of wisdom.
She approached the goddess with caution. "…Hello? Are you…Athena?"
The goddess whipped her head around and her eyes landed on Elise. She smiled. "Ah, it's the gun-maker! Yes, I am Athena. What do you want to know?"
Elise cocked her head. "How did you know I wanted to know something?"
Athena tapped her noggin. "Wisdom, remember?"
Elise nodded. "Right, right. Anyway, I wanted to know where Hephaestus would be? I need him for something I'm making - I'm assuming there aren't any other hot heats that could melt metal anywhere around here, are there?"
Athena shook her head. "You're right, he's the only one. If you go into that valley -" She pointed to the practical canyon below her - "And walk right as far as it will allow, his cavern is there. But," She looked Elise over, "You might need some help with that."
Elise nodded.
Athena smiled and scooped her up and jumped off the cliff without hesitation, landing on the valley floor and running at impossible speed to the right side of the valley. In less than a minute, she set Elise down at the entrance to a cavernous cave, out of which heat and bright light radiated.
"Well, this is his cavern. I hope you find what you're looking for," Athena said, then began to scale the canyon wall with the agility that only a god could possess. Halfway up, Elise realized something. How exactly was she going to get back up?
Oh well. Now was the time for action!

Elise walked into the cavern, and loud booms that rattled her body echoed through it every few seconds. The heat was twice that of a sweltering summer day. As she walked, it all came down to one man, twice her size, with a hammer that closely resembled a car.
It was Hephaestus, who was hammering down on something unseen. Elise gulped. No way was she introducing herself to this guy. But the metal needed melting, so she retreated her steps until she almost tripped over a wooden bowl resting on the ground. She smiled, and dumped the silverware into the bowl, making her way to the nearest lava pit.
Holding the bowl over the lava until her arm almost died was worth it, though, because now there was a pool of melted silver, perfect for her needs.
Taking out the many molds she had carved, she poured the metal into them one by one. They cooled, and out tumbled magnificent - looking gun parts. She smiled, gathering them up in her hands. These were just the basics - for the large thing she was making, she needed a gigantic barrel. She'd have to make a whole new soap mold.
Just as she was gathering her things and getting ready to leave, a voice boomed from the other side of the cavern.
"You!"
(can you be hephaestus)

(yeee)

A man of ginormous stature rose from the cave mouth, his shadow thrown onto the cave wall from the licking flames of the forge. He bowed over her, his huge, all-seeing black eyes glistening eerily in the half-light.
"YOU!" He repeated in a bellow that echoed through the cave. "What are you doing here?"

Yikes. Okay, what to do? Elise searched her surroundings and saw a small opening that Hephaestus couldn't possibly fit through. She ran, scrambling in, pulling her things in behind her. How am I going to get out of here?

Hephaestus stepped forward and plucked her up by the back of her shirt. "Oh no, you don't. The mighty hell are you doing here?" He asked in a deep, rumbly voice.

(YEEE youre on)
Elise squirmed in his huge grip and flailed around. "ARTEMIS!" She yelled, then thought.
The locket!
She still had it around her neck!
Hephaestus staring at her, befuddled, she opened the locket and whispered into it.
"Havenwood, get the fuck into Hephaestus' cavern. Now."

(;u;)

Hephaestus rolled his eyes and gently sat her down. "I'm not going to hurt you, you know. Just because I'm a big-bad-scary blacksmith doesn't mean I'll steal your bones and mold them into a hilt for a sword."
Havenwood burst into the cave, panting and holding a rabbit upside down, along with Elise's gun.

(remember she's still hanging from hep's finger so it'll look like he was about to hurt her.)
"ACK! You're gonna choke me if you keep holding me up like that! And I want my stuff back!" She protested, still unaware of Havenwood's presence and squirming in Hep's grip.

(;u;)

Hephaestus rolled his eyes and gently sat her down. "I'm not going to hurt you, you know. Just because I'm a big-bad-scary blacksmith doesn't mean I'll steal your bones and mold them into a hilt for a sword."
Havenwood burst into the cave, panting and holding a rabbit upside down, along with Elise's gun.

(oooopsieesss )
"I WANT MY STUFF BACK!" Elise yelled in his face.
(Can hep be more violent with her just a little because havenwood has to like have a reason to rescue her)

Hep put a large, scarred hand on her face and thrust her away from his face. She fell backward, and the metal that was just melted in her bowl leaked out onto the floor, then started promptly boiling.
"Hey!" Havenwood sharply exclaimed and strode over. "Only I'm allowed to do that to her!"

Elise looked up and saw Havenwood, relieved. She gathered her things and picked up the unassembled butt of the gun and pointed at Hep's large, burly form - even though he could probably snap it if he wanted to.
(Don't please that'd be heartbreaking)

(xD i kinda want to)

Hep glared at her as if challenging her to try and shoot a God. Havenwood glanced over and stepped in between the pair.
"Hep, go," Havenwood growled.
"She was here on her own accord. Mortals aren't allowed here."

"I am allowed. Here. Boss - I mean Zeus - said so. Go ask him!" Elise yelled - quite frightened.

Hep grumbled something. His voice was quiet, yet it sounded scary and threatening.
Havenwood responded loudly, in a different language, one Elise would only be able to conclude was Greek.

Elise took advantage of the fact that Hep was no longer focused on her and gathered her things, edging ever closer to Havenwood - with whom she felt safe.

Hep stepped closer to Havenwood as if trying to size him up, but Havenwood didn't step back.

Meanwhile, Elise was contemplating whether or not she should shove Hep into one of his own pits of lava - assuming that she was strong enough to do so, which she definitely was not.

Hep growled again in Greek, Havenwood didn't respond.

Okay, this is awkward…why again did I choose Latin over Greek in high school? Elise thought, curling up at Havenwood's feet, throwing her hoodie over her.
