“This isn’t an offering. It’s an insult.” Athena’s eyes took in the donation in front of her, eyebrows lifted, dubious. It wasn’t the norm, and it wasn’t as though Athena was high maintenance. She was easy enough to please; oils, incense, wine. She had her favorites of each, of course, but this? The anger in her chest was swelling. Athena knew she should walk away.

Her immediate correction to whatever assumptions she’d made about his ego was the grace of laughter to the silence between the two of them. It was as invasive as it was honest, features crinkling into an expression that said her venom had missed it’s mark. Regardless of the greeting that seemed less that enthused, he was already slipping gracious hand into pocket. 

A single cigarette was surrendered to her before he even bothered to speak further, the lighter in his other hand. “Tsk at the mortals, Athena. I would hardly think the virgin princess herself had any interest here. don’t you worry.”  Those same hands held out like a white flag of surrender. “Now do you want one or not?” 

“Arrogant fuck.” Athena’s voice, however, was amused. Out of all of the gods on this island, she was most amused by him. He was like her in many ways, much like her brother in others, and through it all, he gave as well as he took. Hm. Now that was a thought Athena could let settle. “I’d consider letting you be the one to make me scream your name, but I’m not sure I could pronounce it.”

She plucked the cigarette from his proffered fingers. “Although.” She leaned forward, filter poised between her lips, expectant for the god to light the tip for her to inhale. “I am quite adept at picking things up quickly. Perhaps there are a few new tricks to learn. But for the record.” Fingers reached forward, slipping through his coarse beard, nails tickling his jaw. “I prefer the term virgin warrior.”

Adrina, despite herself, relished the smell of smoke. Even the rolled tobacco of Kahlil’s cigarette seemed sweet and she felt drawn to it, as though he’d poised it in one of her own temples. She approached, no reticence, just the candid confidence of a goddess who was allowed to be anywhere at any time. Invitations be damned.

And instead, he prattled on with the same godlike hubris she was used to. Perhaps his tone held no annoyance, but there was something goddamn near carnivorous in his smile. Adrina’s lips pressed tightly into a line, though her face remained an unfiltered soft. “Oh, tsk. I was a moth to your cigarette’s flame, not your own.”

There was some kind of divine irony in his penchant for cigarette smoke. Thankfully, Charis was the one place he could smoke in peace, without hearing some do-gooder prattle on about how they caused cancer. He knew - he was that very same disease, when he wanted to be. Either way, that explained why brick wall build was currently leaned against the nearest building, fingers tapping the end of filter to shed ashes like his lost mortality. 

“Did you plan to actually say something or is this the part where I try and figure out what exactly it is you want?” 

The tone wasn’t all together uninviting, it was a genuine question. An inquiry that might not have had the cleanest of intentions behind it, but it was one nonetheless. The edge of a grin creeping up at the corner of his mouth was enough to cause a stir of emotions in anyone, caught somewhere between amused and just this side of predatory.

Task 001: Connections

Possible connections that I would love for Athena/Adrina:

✗ Apollo. Athena’s brother and veritable pain in her ass. Adrina feels similarly; he is always a thorn in the side, but he’s her thorn in the side and she loves him. 10/10 would do anything for him. She still hasn’t quite forgiven him about the Trojan War.

✗ Helen of Troy. Because fuck that bitch.

✗ Her first lover. I know, right? It’s going to get KINKY up in here. Adrina’s pretty pent up and it’s only going to get worse for her. Not to be dramatic, but she needs the D.

✗ Followers. Sacrifices. Maybe a sacrifice from centuries ago. One of the original worshipers.

✗ Anyone from Athens back in the day.

✗ Hephaestus. I would honestly die to have someone willing to accept their history. Or at least... some version of it.

And more! I’m a greedy lil roleplayer, so give me all of the fun!

Aphrodite: Is there a word that's a mix between angry and sad?

Athena: malcontent, disgruntled, miserable, desolated

Hermes: smad

- [PHOEBE TONKIN] | [ADRINA PALLAS] has accepted the darkness. They are [A GODDESS - (ATHENA)]. Someone said they were [JUST], and a little [PRONE TO JEALOUSY]. They are [QUEER] and really into [VOYEURISM & GRINDING] and a [DOMINANT].

Bow to your queeeen. No, but really... this is Athena, and she’s a bit much to handle, to be quite honest. She’s sharp-tongued, quick-witted, and doesn’t put up with any amount of shit.

Adrina craves worship and rewards those who give it to her. She’s fearless and brazen. Maybe she doesn’t want to start wars, but she’s not afraid to finish them. She has little to no patience for her brothers and sisters, but would die for them. Mostly.

She picks favorites. From those favorites, she usually has a few favorites of the moment, which often changes based on sacrifice. To stay in her favor, Adrina requires the following:

1. Light incense and burn oil every day. 2. Bathe her, when she asks. 3. Don’t even fucking DARE make an offering to ANY OTHER DEITY. You’re hers now.

She’s generous with those who worship her but quick to jealousy if betrayed. Her jealousy is terrifying and swift and results in many dead, or worse. But to those who stay with her and suffer her demands, Adrina will provide anything.

Virgin. Still. She’s not in a hurry to lose her precious virginity after all of these years, but perhaps she sees now as an opportunity. There has not been such worship since the Old Days, and she delights in the idea of providing that most precious gift to the one she eventually deems most worthy.

She is, however, a massive tease. She has a knack for dry humping that will make a person, god, or creature cum in their pants. She’s experienced euphoria as a result that may be close to orgasms.

Lowkey has a pet owl.

So come at me, and my Virginal Golden Child. I’m so excited to get this group going!

Zeus: Athena, you're never going to get a husband by being sarcastic.

Athena: Alright. No husband then.

Athena: What would you say the height of stupidity is?

Artemis:

Artemis: HEY APOLLO HOW TALL ARE YOU REAL QUICK?
