Welcome to Gaia! ::

The energy on the edge of his senses gave Dionysus a moments pause. The corrupt sighed when he began to recognize the feel of it. Aludra. Her sphere fits her. He grumbled to himself. Dionysus had noticed a few times that it seemed like the younger corrupt was trying to track him down. It reminded him of a stray cat that constantly wove itself between ones legs as they walked. And despite his best efforts, he could not shake her.

How annoying.

"I'm not your brother." Dionysus snapped as he walked around one of the lumber piles. "Leave Aludra." Don't make me tell you again. Go home. And I won't be walking you this time.

Dionysus fixed her with a bored stare as he glanced from the chocolate to her finally. "Maybe I don't like chocolate." He muttered, crossing his arms in mild annoyance.

The blonde corrupt snorted loudly when she asked why they were there. "There is no 'we'." He snapped again. "You are here because you decided it was your best use of time to try and find me. I on the other hand." He paused, eyes glancing past the lumber pile he had just walked past to where he knew a wood chipper had just been used for something it was not intended for. The blonde sighed, he'd have to come back and finish his work later. He knew there was no shaking Aludra now that she had found him. In some ways, she reminded him of Persephone.

It was no wonder the two got along so well. Girls.

"...Never mind what I was here doing. You've found me. Congratulations. Now what."

"Cause maybe I'm allergic to it?" Dionysus replied flatly. He wasn't however. It was just another lie. Dionysus rolled his eyes at the pet name. Why were there always pet names involved? When Aludra hopped forward and invaded his personal space with the sugary substance, Dionysus leaned back away from it.

Dionysus closed his eyes, growling lightly as he reached up to rub his temple. Ah yes, there was the headache... He knew it wouldn't be too far behind. "What could you possibly find entertaining at the Zoo. At these hours no less." Most animals, save a select few would most likely be resting by now. "Why don't you go find Persephone. I'm sure she'd like to go." Maybe he could get back to what he was doing with some relative peace before the next interruption arose.

"Are you spying on me Aludra?" He asked, matching her own narrowed stare. Unlike her however, Dionysus sported a rather smug grin on his face which only grew when she gave up and dropped her little gift to the ground.

"What makes you think you can? Do you intend to throw me over your shoulder like some child?" This time it was he who leaned into the other's personal space, going as far as to grab the younger teens arm so she couldn't step away from him. "I don't know if you've noticed, but I seem to be a bit too tall for you to properly pull that off. So unless you have some other method to get me there, you're fighting a very rapidly losing battle Aludra." With that Dionysus actually spun her away from him as if they were in some sort of dance.

"I do not play Aludra, I have far better things to do."

"You must be watching pretty hard then... Be careful about that Aludra. Some people value their privacy." He hissed, lip curling as she spun back in front of him. "Senshi of Pathways you may be but that does not mean I follow you." Once again the blonde grabbed her hand, jerking it away from his chest. "If anything, it just means I use you like the stepping stone you are. In fact, pathways can be broke with a simple crack." Dionysus grin again. "But then again, you'd know about cracks... Wouldn't you?. You may be a pathway but let's not forget that you need to be crafted in order to be useful. And even then, at most you're nothing but dirt on my shoes, and I have absolutely no problem brushing you off." He then grabbed her chin with his free hand and leaned down to kiss the younger senshi. It lasted but a moment before he twisted her wrist at a harsh angle.

"I told you Aludra. I am not playing."

Dionysus smiled when she cried out. It was truly a beautiful sound. "The only thing I'm doing, is wasting my time." His eyes however, narrowed when she reached out and touched him. "And what are you going to do about it? Once again, you are nothing but a tool. A stepping stone to make other's lives useful. The only thing a path way is good for is getting walked on. To me, you're nothing more then a door mat." The blonde released her immediately, as if he had touched something hot, while shoving her back away from him at the same time.

"Don't you think I know that?!" He snapped. "Fate is why I'm here today. Fate is what's made me who I am." The blonde growled. "I didn't chose this Aludra. But you can bet your sorry exsistance that I will take control over it and make my own path. With out your help." He snarled.

"How's that for fate."

"Hmm and what if I decide I'm going to climb over rocks. Over trees. Are you going to go through mountain and ocean just so I have a place to walk?" Dionysus then moved forward, as he began to corral her against one of the lumber piles that surrounded them. Dionysus smiled, reaching an arm out past her head once they were close enough to the pile. "Yes... I've heard grapes can be a bit... bitter to some people.. Depends on your taste. Personally, I think you'd prefer wine grapes.." His free hand came up and brushed away a strand of green hair that had crept out from her hood. "They're sweeter then most." He then placed the other hand on the timber, effectively blocking her in. "Maybe next time you should figure out a way to incorporate that into you're chocolate." Maybe then he'd eat it.

Again he rolled his eyes. "Do shut up Aludra. I'm not going back. It's death there just as it is here. I just told you my dear, I'm going to make the most of this. Now knock your childish act off before you find out just why I was here in the first place. Now..." Once again he leaned forward, minimizing the space between them. "I am not going to the Zoo. Perhaps you should think of something else we can do."
