So, Athena...

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

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

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.

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.

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.
