Chuckling, the god lightly patted her cheek and motioned for her to follow him as he went into one of the many chaise-filled sitting rooms. He seated himself, stretching out luxuriously and eying the dark angelic in front of him.
"You felt the pull of my power, did you, my dear?" He gestured that she should sit or stand in the floor in front of him at her pleasure. It didn't matter much to him. Certainly she would not be able to sit in his lap.
He would not anger his mate that way.
"Indeed, you seem to be a lustful little creature. But that happens with most of your kind." His eyes swept her from head to toe. Provocative, oh yes, indeed. Visually appealing through the toes.
Well. At least he wouldn't be bored.
"What service do you intend to do me?"

Harmony did not like angelics. Harmony did not like angelics at all. Most especially dark angelics who languished near her mate. A whirlwind blew into the temple, a whirlwind of light, sound, and color. Orange and purple color, to be specific. There were many things in that world that numbered among those one should not do. Among those, the one that Etherus should have been minding was the 'do not anger one's pregnant angelique' clause. And oh, she was angered. Very angered.
However, she was not Quite willing to show just how upset he'd made her. So, instead, the demi-goddess plopped down into his lap, exuding an entirely sulky air. She was not pleased. Not in the least. Here she'd been planning any number of amusing entertainments, and he'd gone and brought a pretty girl home. Of course, the fact that this was not in any way his doing, or really Isadora's fault did not concern her. The fact was that she was there, and he had allowed her to be there.
The strange looking faekat peered at the dark angelic, sizing her up. It was almost as though she were trying to decide which way would be best to unravel her. Unravel? Or was it destroy? No, no... that was too much. Pouting, sulking, and brooding (making a true annoyance of herself), she tugged a little on Eth's goatee. Damn him. She'd only left him alone for twenty minutes. Couldn't he keep the ladies off of him for that long? Oh well. She'd find a way around this. She knew she would.

Isadora stood before the god, allowing him to look her over, take her in. She placed one hand on her hip and shifted her weight slightly, cocking her head enough to cause a few stray hairs to land in her face.
"Whatever you required of me... I love to do what I can for my gods."
And this she meant. Isadora had traveled to a temple or two in her time, serving there until it seemed the deity no longer required her. Perhaps she had not found her true place yet, but no matter the case, she always had a good time.
Just after she'd finished talking, the mate of whome Eth had spoken seemed to come into view. She was a pretty thing, Isadora could not deny that. Of course she granted a smile of sorts to the demi, acknowledging her.

Oh hell. Etherus almost visibly blanched as he saw his mate. It was his responsibility to his followers to welcome them all, and he really had a reputation to uphold.
A reputation his beloved little angelique had absolutely no concern for. Oh no. She was devoted, very loving, and great fun. But she was the most jealous thing he had ever met. Vaguely, the god of lust wondered if perhaps one day their child would maximize that potential.
And he twitched.
"Hello there, little one." His arm came around the sulking demi-goddess, he tried not to wince when she pulled on the goatee. Between the dark lust of the angelic, and the sulky deathwish coming from his mate, he didn't know which way to go.
It was certainly not a GOOD lust.
"My dear, I would like to introduce you to my angelique. Harmony, also a demi-goddess of fertility. Harmony, she wants to become a follower." Be nice.

Isadora offered Harmony the same half-curtsey she'd given the god, though possibly with a little less enthusiasm. She thought the demi was pretty enough, albeit just a tad strange...
"I'm pleased to meet you," she said with her trademark grin, "I trust we'll be seeing a lot of eachother then.."

Couldn't he have mortal followers? Wasn't that usually the way? Or, perhaps, a male follower? Was it that males didn't have enough lust in them? No, that could not be. She was fairly certain that males were pretty lust driven. Hmm. Weeeellllll... it was not as though the Dark Angelic was propositioning Eth (though some others had). She simply wished to be of use. Harmony keep back the wave of anger and irritation in part brought on by her current state, and allowed her good side to take over for a moment. "Hello." She couldn't quite get out the words 'it is a pleasure to meet you', but she tried very hard.
So far, Etherus was behaving himself. Good. She had him well trained. Mostly well trained. ... Why was she training him at all? She blinked, shaking her head, trying to rid herself of the confusion she'd brought upon herself. Some things could be done to ensure that he wouldn't wander, so she set about doing one of them. Carefully, the demi-goddess let her hair out of her pigtails, and smoothed it out. Then, she settled herself less aggressively in the God's lap. Best not to make him twitch again. It probably wasn't good for business. Did they have a business? "We probably will." The idea, however, of seeing a lot of Isadora gave her second thoughts. And third thoughts.

Oh hell. She'd let her hair down. This would be a problem. It was Etherus' one weakness, and one he didn't enjoy her employing when he was trying to be all suave.
But he could control himself. He was a deity!
Comforting his weakness by lightly fingering the ends of her hair, he glanced over, smiling a bit suggestively at the dark angelic. It never hurt to seduce the followers, even if he was never going to betray his love like that.
"Now. I believe you said you wanted to make yourself of use? I am quite too used to that. What do you think you can do for me? I ask this often. Perhaps because it amuses me."
The god thought about this. Was that it? Shrugging, he gathered his mate close, but kept his eyes and attention fixed on the girl. She had to feel important, or at least acknowledged, or she would leave.
And that was bad.

Isadora regarded the demi for a moment longer. She certainly seemed determined, and she certainly was possessive. She could see the sudden change in demeanor. She was trying at least to be civil. In all honesty, Isadora had never had to deal with a jealous mate before. Most of the time, those she visited were still without angeliques, though so far none of those had been right for her. She was sure this place held something for her though. It called out to her far too much for this to be wrong. Even if eventually she did leave, she knew there was some reason she was drawn here to this place now.
"Well..." Isadora grinned slightly, "It would seem you have a couple of little ones on the way, hm? I trust you'll be needing a bit of a watchful eye if the two of you ever plan to spend your...alone time again..."
She winked at the god suggestively, doing her best to do so while the demi was not looking.

In the end, it was Isadora and not Etherus who convinced Harmony that Isadora was not a threat. Still, the angelique was not entirely willing to let go of Eth, even for a moment. The Dark Angelic was winning points, however, something to be said in her favor. Her comment even got a hint of a smile from the Demi-goddess. "Are you sure you would want to subject yourself to my children?" Children who would combine Etherus' changing physical appearance, and Harmony's changing alignment. Whatever nanny they had would be run ragged trying to keep up with them.
Poor Eth had never been able to handle her, let alone little ones like her. Perhaps the angelic would be better at it? Perhaps not. Time would tell, if the female decided to stay. She ignored his flirtations with Isadora, knowing that there was nothing she could do to stop him from behaving that way entirely. It was, of course, in his nature. She did, however, make it clear that she considered them to be completely unimportant. There were other ways of making friends... ways which she had yet to discover, but knew existed.

Isadora nodded, seeing full well she'd gained points. The mere fact that the demi had put together a full sentence for her showed her that. She coiled a few stray strands of hair around her little finger.
"I think I could handle it... Children are always rampant when they're children...but they'll grow up nicely under my care..."
Isadora had watched children before, if only for a while at a time. She knew she could do it, and she knew it would be the best way to secure her place here.

Laughing, he would have put an arm around Isadora if he had a free one. This lady would become quite useful to him indeed, even if just a friend to him. And someone that Harmony could have around. She was very isolated here, as he didn't much like to keep most of her sisters around.
They were a bit annoying.
"I agree, that would be interesting. If you can handle the brats." No need to beat around the bush about that. They would be spoiled to death, and would be as precocious as could be. It was just how genetics worked.

Isadora turned her head to the god.
"I could handle it, dear Etheros. You needn't worry about that. I might even delight in spoiling them a bit myself."
She nodded reassuringly, to him, to the Demi, even herself. Of course without having met the children yet (as it was impossible) she could not know for certain what they would be like, but she did know that she would not let any obstacle they faced her with ruin her chances at this temple. This place was her calling, this family of deities were those she'd been waiting to meet.

Harmony was not entirely sure that Isadora knew what she was getting herself into. More over, she really ought to make the point that she'd be the one taking care of her children, most of the time. They would, after all, be hers. Hers and Eth's. "I'm sure they'll waste no time running their babysitter ragged." There, a reminder that the little ones would be taken care of primarily by their parents. They would undoubtably be brats. Spoiled, adorable, wicked little brats. Much like how she'd been to her poor mother.
Well. Not quite. This time, it would be even more complicated. The demi winced, thinking of the drama that might ensue. Hmm. She kind of liked that the dark angelic was so enthusiastic about the temple. It was definitely a step up from some of the creatures that came, interested only in Etherus himself. She shook her head slightly, hiding a smile delicately behind a paw. "I really think they will be much more trouble than you expect, but perhaps you'll be able to weather them anyway." She, after all, had to.
