Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apollo moaned, those images filling his thoughts as well, caressing his mind and making his heart swell in his chest, "Mmmm.... Dymion.... Gods...." He could already feel himself falling in love with a child they hadn't even had yet. His hands slid down Dymion's pants, sliding over his soft skin. He pulled from the kiss, violet eyes full of emotion as he stared up into Dymion's eyes. He knew it was a fantasy, it couldn't be real, but he gave into fantasy, letting himself believe, if only for a while, "Let's make a baby..."

Apollo blinked and chuckled, wrapping an arm around Dymion's waist as he sat back up, "Fine, fine, you tease..." He kissed Endymion's cheek before taking another piece of fruit as well, savoring their sweet juices sliding over his tongue.

Dionysus laughed at his lover's behavior and got to his feet, stretching again before finding a some clean clothes and slipping into them. He tugger Adel in a quick kiss before opening the door and watching his lover race dnw the stairs. He smirked and followed him down a bit slower, hoping there would be waffles left when he got there.

Dionysus sighed when Ganymede turned and left the room, knowing it wasn't going to be easy to rehabilitate the snarky young god. Dion squeezed by Adel, walking over to the table and thouching Ganymede's abandoned plate. It vanished from the table, Dionysus sending it to Ganymede's room, pretty sure the angry god would return in a huff. He leaned against the table, suddenly getting a slight headache. He glanced back to Adel, "Come on... Let's eat...." He sat down at the table, the light seeming to have left his eyes as he put a waffle and some fruit on his plate.

Dionysus sensed the tension, but didn't say anything about it at first. He knew Adel had felt fine until Ganymede had stared at them with that look on his face. Dionysus had never been attracted to children, but he knew Adel's true age. All the same, it was easy to tell that it still wasn't acceptable with Adel's body in still such a young form. He sighed, finishing his food pretty quickly, "Adel.... I know you feel strange, but you are sixteen.... The reason having sex with children is so wrong is because they are innocent and codependent, unable to make choices for themselves.... You aren't a child."

Apollo shook his head, dots of syrup and butter on his face, "It's going to be a long couple of months..." He was surprised to see Dion and Adel so clean, deciding they hadn't been an outlet for Ganymede's anger yet. He could sense the tension between them though, "Adel... we should start your training today, atleast on control..."

Apollo chuckled a bit after he had visibily scolded Adel, finding the childish attitude heartwarming. He would never get tired of having the small Adel around. A smile graced his face when he remembered that he and Dymion would someday be feeding and spoiling a child of their own. Sure, Adel was like their own child, but Adel had his own family and was near grown.

Dionysus smiled weakly and nodded, obviously distracted. This had never really bothered Adel before. He knew Adel had a tempermental attitude towards his young body, but he had always rebelled against it instead of letting it rule him. He said softly, "Yeah, now's a good time to start practicing...." He distractedly thought of the boy upstairs. There was no doubt of Ganymede's disgust with Dion and Adel. He frowned, shaking the thoughts from his head. He cared deeply for Ganymede, but he wasn't in love with him after all. So why should he care what Ganymede thought... right?

Apollo, feeling refreshed by Adel's wonderment. It was easy to forget that these things weren't commonplace to anyone. Adel's question made Apollo laugh though, "Adel, that's the point... Listen, all gods start out the same. We may not be able to use our powers by instinct alone, but they will always be there. None of us start out knowing how to do all of these things. But the power is there, locked inside of you. It's not a matter of whether or not you can do this thing, but rather when you can harness it. And believe me, you will. You're already showing outstanding ability for having no training whatsoever...."

Dionysus grinned at Apollo's words. Few gods had been around as long as Apollo had, and Dion had been born only a few centuries afterwards, "Adel, the power of the gods relies on the principle of balance. The moves you make are not just thoughtless outbursts of energy, but they must become a balance between yourself, the power, and the environment around you..." The pen they had been moving across the table from earlier floated into the air, "I'm not just exerting a force to push the pen up. There is also the force that keeps the pen from flying in one direction infinitely.... If I only pushed the pen upwards, it would fly up through the ceiling, through the second floor, up through the roof and out into space. And that's the third force, the force of the environment around you. The pen is floating in the atomosphere of the earth. It interacts with anything natural that comes in contact with it. Controlling the effect of forces like wind and moisture in the air. So do you see how the most important aspect of your powers is control?"
