So, Athena...

You never did say. How did things go with Triton?

Comments

............. It went fine.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

"Fine"? That's it?

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

No, it was way more than just 'fine'. Holy cow... He didn't reject me. So yeah, it went fine.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

And...?

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

And what?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

And you can't leave us hanging! Details, details! What did he say? What did he do? Did you enjoy it? Are you two officially dating now?

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

My nipples are sore, among other parts. asldfkj
I am not giving you details!
It was nice. No we aren't dating.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

"Nice"? Hmm. And here I must say I'm disappointed. Triton doesn't do "nice."

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

What do you mean by that?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh, he's almost mean to Mel in the bedroom. Very... um... forceful, I suppose, is the word I want. Personally, I thought he was more sensual and self-assured, but I don't usually like it quite as rough as she does. But, either way, I wouldn't describe what he does as "nice."

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

He's only as mean as I let him be.

Also, good for you, sis.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Which one of us are you referring to?

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

I was directing it at you, seeing as I knew the kid was already heading that direction.

So, did he live up to the hype?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Now, now. All I did was make sure he was good enough for the company of my sisters.

...he absolutely passed with flying colors.

Tweak says, "Lets hear it for the boy!"

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Oh is that the line you're going with?

That's my boy.

Tweak says, "I can do cute."

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. After all, I am still Achilles' girl.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Uh-huh. Well, if you can sell it to him, I'll go along with it.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

All he knows is that I was concerned for my sisters. I had to ensure Triton was trustworthy.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Well, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, yes he knows what he's doing. I'm reminded every time I take a step. And I did like it. A lot. I don't regret asking him.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

How does it feel to leave the ranks of the virgin goddesses?

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Amazing.

Like I said, I don't regret it. And I'm glad he was willing to be my first.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

And... how do you feel about him, now that it's said and done?

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Should I feel differently?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. But sometimes, going through something special together... It can... clarify things.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

You seem to be hinting at something, Erato. Mind cluing me in?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Well... Are you really just friends?

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

I think that word is a bit limiting. He's more than my friend. He's my teacher, my mentor.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Athena, you're way too smart not to see what Erato is getting at.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

I see what she's getting at, but that doesn't mean her insinuations are accurate.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

So, then, what, exactly is accurate, dear?

Also, Seph! Seriously, if you haven't gotten in with Triton... Well. I'd trust him with any of my sisters. That boy's like a five-star all-you-can-eat seafood buffet.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

He's family.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Since when has that stopped anyone in our family tree?

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Erato, you asked about our relationship. I answered. What more do you want?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Details, my sweet. Love stories are what I do.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Some stories shouldn't be told in detail until a lot's been sorted out, Erato.

And as for Triton's getting the complete set, not in a million years. I'll take your word that it's nice and all, but I'm just not really into guys who aren't Hades.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Thanks, Persephone.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh, no, no. You misunderstand. Love stories aren't about events. They're about emotions. The same basic story can play out equally well in Medieval Italy as it does on the streets of New York. The events just provide the framework. What really matters is are the fluttering hearts and butterflies in the stomach and the anxieties and curiosities and realizations as passions come bubbling to the surface. That makes a love story what it is. And yours... isn't done yet. But the beginning is just as important as the end.

And... how do you know if you don't try? I believe that's what you said to me last year, Seph.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

If you're so desperate for a love story, there's thousands of them out there. Our make one up yourself. You seem to have already started that anyway.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Believe me, I'm working on them. But I'm not allowed to make them up--inspire and record. That was the job we were given. But first-blossomings are special.
