Holy crap it’s been so long and I’m really sorry. I don’t have any excuses but I’m back now, and do I owe anyone anything?
“I just don’t want to turn anyone into a gorgon again. People didn’t like that when I did it last time, oddly enough,” he quipped, letting go of her arm.
He didn’t know why he tried with her. Women came to him for one thing. Sex. And this one was no different. He didn’t have the strength to flatter her for any longer.
“I only asked to be nice, but whatever. If you’re that eager to be fucked, I’ll oblige you, and who cares if anyone is mad.”
One breath. She reached the door, opening it and turning to face him, bracing herself against the frame.
“Is this going to have to be pity sex? Or can it be hate sex, because I’m really not good at sympathy, as you’ve probably understood by now.”
She turned, entering her room. Stheno expected he wasn’t feeling so sorry for himself as to need to be invited in. “That whole gorgon thing? Still haven’t forgotten it, Zeus.” She tossed herself into a chair, looking at him, head tipped to the side. She would be glaring if it weren’t for the smirk. About as close to pity as it would get.
“Or we can just forget about everything for a while. What’ll it be, Olympian?”

After flirting with Stheno for a while, they finally agreed to “cure each other’s boredom”. He flashed her his winning smile and extended his arm for her to take.
“Maybe we should do this in your room…” Zeus suggested. “My wife is here, and I don’t think she’ll take kindly to another woman in her bed.”
He felt a pang of guilt at the mention of Hera, but quickly stuffed it down.
“And you sure you want to do this?” he asked one more time. “Y’know.. it’ll probably make Medusa mad..”
She sighed. It was all really rather silly, actually. But what else was she to do? She was bored and trapped in a cage with a meager amount of toys, but toys they were, and she might as well play. She placed her hand in his, slightly disenchanted, but trying to smile nonetheless. Stheno supposed it wasn’t very convincing.
“I’m charmed that my sister is in your concerns, but we’ve spoken, and I’m fairly certain this little blip won’t harm the relationship she and I have. But yes. My room.”
She tossed a slightly more sympathetic smile over her shoulder as she moved ahead of him. Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to play nice for a little while…
