Hep suddenly threw a hand out at Havenwood, who dodged it smoothly, by moving over to the left.
Hep suddenly threw a hand out at Havenwood, who dodged it smoothly, by moving over to the left.
"Hey, hey. Havenwood…" She tugged on his pant leg. "Perhaps we should just leave."
Havenwood nodded. "Good idea. She won't come back again, Hep."
"She'd better not."
Elise got up with her things in her arms, leading the fucking way out of that cave.
Once they were out of the cave, past Athena (I think it was), and farther into Havenwood's forest, Havenwood jolted out an arm and turned Elise around.
"What the hell were you doing down there, Elise? You could've gotten yourself killed!" He looked upset and deeply worried.
"Look, I'm…it was for a weapon, okay? And I needed someplace to melt the metal. So…I went there. I'm so sorry. I screwed everything up. I'm sorry." Elise buried her face in Havenwood's arms, even though she wasn't crying. She was ashamed.
"Why did you need to make another weapon?" He didn't pull away from her, yet his voice wasn't any softer. She'd given him a real shock.
"Because that's why I'm here, idiot." Her muffled voice responded. "I fucked up, didn't I? I did."
"No, we can get you some other way for you to make weapons. It's okay," He heard his voice soften, he was now glad that she was safe.
"I don't really think it is, but okay." Elise pulled away and looked up at Havenwood.
"No, Hep would never let us use his forge. There are some other ones around we can go to." He met her gaze steadily.
"Of course the god of blacksmithing wouldn't let me use his forge. I'm such a fucking idiot." Elise looked down at her gun parts. "Well, at least I got these done."
Havenwood rubbed her back. "Look, it's not your fault. Hep has always been an ass, to everyone, not just mortals."
"Is everyone here an ass except you?" They began to walk back.
"No, the Goddesses are all really great. Apollo, my twin, is cool too. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't come around yet."
(Also I'm playing Apollo thanks)
(okie dokie)
"Well, of course the goddesses are good. Athena gave me directions." Elise just then noticed that they were walking very couple-ish, with Havenwood's hand still on her back. She didn't make any move to pull away.
"I like Athena. She always came over and talked to Apollo and I when we were kids." He smiled at the memory.
"Yeah, she seems nice." There was silence. "So where am I going to melt all the silverware now?"
Havenwood chuckled. "I can get you metal. Plus, I can ask Athena where we can go."
"That silverware was actually silver, though. I like it." Elise pretended to pout.
"Of course it was silver!" Havenwood exclaimed. "Why wouldn't it be?"
"Well, down in the land of lowly mortals it's usually something like Pewter or Tin. It's cheap." She replied, laughing.
Havenwood laughed. "Not here, silver is plentiful. I can get you some scrap metal. By metal, I mean silver if you prefer."
"Yes, please. It's much more durable. Children can bend our spoons back home," She looked up at him to see his response.
Havenwood shook his head with a slight smile. "Pathetic. Children are stronger than mortal metal."
