She didn't expect him to do anything to make up for the fact he had hurt her today. Maybe he was healing her because he didn't intend to damage her, and wanted the only wounds on her body to be ones he choose to make? Really as she thought about his reasoning, it was probably something as simple as he didn't want to see blood. He'd do it for his comfort not her own. He told her he hated humans, and that included her, she was just his entertainment of the week. She was sure he'd get bored of her soon. Though the strangest thing about the whole thing, was that his power felt a bit like a tickle. "Thank you..." While she was sure he didn't do it for her, she should still thank him.

Dorothea noted mentally that he didn't answer her question about a place he loved. Instead he left her with a barrage of questions to answer. " Because I love my parents. I don't want them to die. Sure I know some point I have to let them go, but I'm still so young. I'm not ready to. Plus I'm a woman, not some goddess or amazon would can make her own fate. I'm either my parents property or my husbands. I don't get the option to run off and become whatever I want." Part of it was love, and maybe part of it was selfishness. She was buying time, time with her loved ones, time to be mostly free. She wasn't the daughters of some politician or King, she didn't get a live of comfort. She would get marriage to some farmer, or maybe a warrior and she live a life of hardship. She would be expected to give birth to a child within a year of marriage. If she was lucky her husband would love her, but more often than not the woman wasn't lucky.

Dorothea couldn't have but laugh when he said he wanted to meet her mother. "Oh no, I can't have that, which a face as handsome as yours, she'd might try matchmaking on your behalf. Or worse try to style your hair."[/b]. It didn't dawn on her that she had revealed what she thought about his looks. It was just something that he slipped out. Frankly to her it was a shame he as handsome as he was cold-hearted. "Oh really, now that would be sight to see. If you wouldn't sit still, did she ever mange to finish braiding your hair?" He looked the type to not sit still. She could see him running through open fields, laughing and playing his harp. She couldn't imagine him living a stuffy life sitting still and listening to prattle of other gods or humans.

For a brief second when he grabbed her chin, she flinched slightly. She was worried that he might hurt her like he did yesterday. She didn't expect the tickle of his divine energy , if was he healing her bruises? Well he had said they were ugly, when critiquing her mother's attempts to dress her up. Still he was so dangerously close to her, hat it wouldn't take much for him to kiss her. Not that she wanted that, just because he had a stupidly handsome face. He was still a jerk! But she couldn't help the flush that spread across her cheeks. No man or god had ever been this close to her before. She was completely untouched in the matters of love and the flesh.

She was relived when he backed a bit away, but she was still unnerved by the constant eye contact. "Is that how it works, they just know what you are going to be the god of? But what if you had hate music, are you allowed change what you are the god of?"

@Totalanimefan: That's about close to the same time for me. I know I could do online for an MBA. My sister in Seattle did that, but I don't want to have to do homework again. So in a morbid sense of things, it was kinda of good that covid postponed my wedding. Cause well my mom died a legit month before what would have been my wedding day this year. Not of covid though.

Yeah, for my wedding we are considering asking people to be vaxed if you can, or wear masks. My sister's wife is the head of a covid nursing unit, and lots of elders in the fam. Oh that is close. Aren't march weddings lovely?


@Ava: Hey maybe before you know it, you'll be in the mcu.

@Totalanimefan: Well getting your BA sounds like fun. I've consider getting an MBA, but I also dread the idea of more school.

Well it's life, there will always be strife at any job. I figure it will get better with time? Thank you. The date is March 18th. It was suppose to happen this year, on the 19th, but covid took it out. You know how MD was in like a pretty big lockdown, and since we had spent money on a venue, I didn't want to lose it, so I moved the date.

@Totalanimefan: I'm a paralegal. I use to work for a different firm, and there I was a team lead of paralegals and like the office superstar. Well there was like two people about me, but my knowledge and skills were respected. My bosses weren't mad that I had Hermione levels of knowing stuff.

But I left the job, because they were stingy with pay, and I felt I should be paid more than especially with my years of experience and Bachelor's. So I joined a different firm where my irl bestie works. I was really excited to work there because I was told the job was amazing, and that they gave bonuses and good raises.

What I didn't know was that she was the office favorite and that no one else got treated that nice. Top it off, that one of the attorney's likes all my knowledge and skills and the other one, who I deal with the most, can't stand me. He thinks I'm a know it all, can be very rude and mean to me. He use to rant a bunch to another girl at the office who loves me, about me.

Keep in mind, that the front desk girl, is a straight up B word to clients, visitors and anyone who calls. She argues and fights with everyone, and makes tons of mistakes, but because she never takes a day off, he won't rebuke her. Well I could write for ages, but basically it's less than ideal for me. But my wedding is in March, and I have tons of PTO saved, so I stay.

@Ava: I get that. It can be very hard and demoralizing. Because you know you are good enough, but then it's like we like person B better, and you go maybe this is all in my head? But at least there is a support system telling you that can. I wish I could offer more comfort, but I am here to listen.

@Kairu: OMG, thank you so much., It's lovely art.

@Ava: I hate when that happens. I have some of a similar issue with work, with other people being looked to instead of me. But I'm so glad that your agent has faith in you too. I can't wait till it all aligns for you.

@Ava: I get that. It can really make you feel down, but I do hope something comes your way soon. I’m rooting for ya!

@Count Trashula: Could I perchance buy one of the Seraph at 5k?

@Ava: I’m sorry that you are having one of those big blah days. I hope things turn around for you soon.

I’ve seen more of the old thundercats and only a bit of he-man. The YouTube video stands out more to me if he doing that one song. I think it’s a meme video.

Dorothea for a moment considered just staying on the ground. If he was going to knock her to it, maybe she'd save him time and just stay there. She titled her head and looked up at him when he first asked her to come here. Why? For a brief moment he held out a hand to her before he pulled it back. So it did seem him care about something for a second. Sighing she picked herself up from the ground. She paused once she was standing to dust off her clothing. Her mother would be upset with her for ruining these robes, it would be impossible for them to get the thread to fix it. Finally as he demanded twice she approached him. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked well anywhere but his face. Yet again he had hurt her and had the gull to be angry that she wasn't entertaining him

She had to bite her tongue when he asked didn't she want to leave this wretched village. A village that was only wretched because of his very actions. She took a deep breath before speaking. "Do you not have place you love? Do you not have a home you don't want to leave behind? If I leave, my parents give up. They are already so weak now, I am the only one who can still collect food for them. Marriage isn't all rainbows. I'll be nothing more than slave in my husband's home forced to birth child, and possibly beaten if I fail to give him sons. There is no stable future for me, I'll be held to the whims of my husband, and my parents die. Selfish as it may be, or stupid, it's better to chase them all off to prolong what time they have left.". She didn't expect him to understand. His parents, his friends, all the other gods lived forever. There was no end.

There was no cruel goodbyes. They got to what they wanted, even if they killed entire villages nothing happened to them. Here he was demanding her to talk about something, but she didn't know what to talk about. Lately all her life had been trying to survive, she wasn't sure if she could remember something interesting. She scoffed when he asked if she tried to look fancy for him. If she was trying to look fancy for him, it'd be better to have shown up as naked as the day she was born. As he had made it very clear where his real interest with her lied. "You really do better at telling my mother that. This is all her doing.".

She didn't want him to think she had told her mother about this, she had a feeling that would anger him. Adjust her voice to tone that was mock of her mother's voice. "Why Dorothea, the most wonderful man will be in town today, you must simply look your best. This might very well be your last chance to be wife. Now sit here and let me do your hair.". She would have pulled down, if she could figure how to undo what her mother had done. Which she felt might have been her mother's intention.

" As for the bruises those weren't of my making, and it'll probably take weeks to heal. So guess you'll be stuck with the unsightly sight for a bit" She shrugged, there wasn't much she could do about it. Humans were not made to be touched with full godlike strength. She had to roll her eyes when he said he wasn't impressed, if that was the case, why was he playing nervously with his hair. Not that she cared what he thought. He was a jerk, okay a good look jerk...but a JERK. She bit down on her bottom lip and fiddled with her toga nervously. "So the harp...how long have you been studying it?". She was eager to get the conversation off her looks, and maybe he would take the chance to wax on about himself.

Well I'm a 90's kid, lol. So I saw reruns when I was young, plus Thundercats got remade and I think there a new he-man so, so you can see them now if you want.

I do think the new Shera show is def worth the watch.

@jupiter: Hello and Welcome. I myself joined a few days ago.

Unexpectedly it didn't take him to show up. Dorothea had to admit, at least he was prompt. She expected him to make her wait, as some additionally sort of punishment. When he made his comment about being lovely, she knew it was about the harp if only because she hadn't spoken to him yet. What was she suppose to say? It was easier to yell at him, when angry, but now she was just wary. When he finally looked at her, she was worried he might notice her mother's attempt to "pretty" her up. She was concerned he might think it was for him and try laying it on thick again. However he didn't even seem to notice. Instead he was yelling at her for not speaking to him. It was clear with every word of how less and insignificant he saw humans.

'So far it seems we are worth less than deer, harps..I expected a god to consider us than themselves, but we still living beings' She thought to herself. "You'd be mistaken, there have been far too many suitors. There just isn't any today, because I'm avoiding them, I don't want someone to die because of me. It's one thing for me to chase them off myself, with my behavior, it's another to get them killed. Just because my parents want to get me out of this village before we all die.. But I am sure you don't want to be reminded of that."

Anything else she may of said to provide this selfish one with his entertainment was lost, when he decided to lean against her to hold up his weight. He either had little experience with humans, or did not care that his natural strength as a god was to much for her. With how heavy he was, she didn't last sitting on the rock. She ended up sliding off and hitting the ground with a thump. She heard the tear of her fabric and felt a sting on her knee. "Watch it! Do you not realize, I don't have a fraction of strength? Ignoring the fact that you are a god for a mere moment. You are well fed man, and probably in the perfect form. I am mere woman, who hasn't had a real meal in years. I'm not some amazon, I am fragile".

She couldn't help but get angry with him. It hadn't even been minutes, and he had already hurt her by his carelessness. He hadn't he noticed the damage he had done to her body yesterday. At this rate, he was more likely to kill by accident. She sighed knowing this wouldn't get her anywhere. " Forget it, why would care the damage you've done to a mere human, you haven't before" She muttered bitterly. She was starting to feel like the god of the sun, might be the evilest person she had ever met. " You want me to talk, but about what?
