"My apologies." Cosine laughed. "Funny, my host was a Lady of negotiable affections. A trader in love, or the illusion of it at least." she raised an eyebrow, as it was a habit of hers when amused.
At the mention of the grigori she breathed the warm air in deeply. Savouring the scents of the gardens. "As long as they exist I suppose there is no true peace for us. Have you seen them? I was not there when their leader entered the pantheon. I was with Echo, and I am glad of that." She shuddered a little, as though a breeze of cold air had blown across the bare skin of her back.

"I could say something similar of mine," Rio noted with a chuckle, "Although for her it was less...occupation, more for fun."
"I haven't seen them myself, but they brought Kishara to me after. It was...frightening, to say the least, to see the harm they're capable of inflicting." Not to mention the initial panic of trying to find Adi, until he'd come home to find her there with the little group.

"My brother was injured by them too." Her expression turned more serious as she thought of that day. The fear and dread that she had seen in Echo's eyes. The pain she had felt from her brother. "I felt it, we're twins so I suppose there is a close connection between us in that respect. I felt the terror." She frowned a little. "I wonder if there is something we can do to prepare for them, should they come again. Which I am sure they will. We're all just waiting really aren't we? For the inevitable."

So she did consider the other Number to be her brother, then - twin, even, despite not being close to him in this life. Interesting. It was a connection he couldn't say he envied, being able to feel someone else's fear. "There must be something. Surely the Council is busying themselves with it, but...there must be something the rest of us can do. It seems unwise to simply wait, but what do we do with no direction?"

 "And that there is the catch isn't it? We are still waiting for some call to action from a higher power." Cosine chewed her lip a little as she thought about the possibilities. The council would be working on it, it was partially their reason for existence but how to aid their work? "Now, being a methodical goddess, I would suggest research. Find out as much as possible about these ... Grigori. They can injure the gods, I think no mortal blades can stop them. Even our own powers may be useless. So few of us are at our full power."

"It's kind of funny, when you think about it that way," he mused with a light chuckle, "Seeing as we're all higher powers."
"Research would mean the Library, then, though I hear it's had better days. Endiovar has been working to restore it." This he had from his daughter, who had once delighted in telling him all about her day and the people she'd met...how he missed seeing her every day! "As to being at our full power, fi there is some trick to achieving it, I don't know what it is. Followers, perhaps. Belief."

Cosine looked to her pile of books and smirked a little. Looked like it would be back to the cavernous halls of books for her. She had only scraped the surface rummaging for her pile of books. "Then perhaps I will go and seek Endiovar out. I may be able to offer my services. Gianfar and I spoke of the organisation of the library once." That seemed to be most of what she was good for, Library, treasury, the numbers of dead. "Belief, then I suppose we had better get back to being social, making ourselves known and our influences felt?"

"He would be glad of the help, I'm sure." He'd apparently been happy to have Adi's help, so he'd certainly appreciate someone with more attention span and experience!
"It sounds so simple when said, doesn't it? I'll admit, a part of me would much rather stay here and talk to pretty goddesses who've dropped their books,"he teased. Still, it was true!

Cosine laughed again. Of course Love would be a flatterer. Still, it was nice to enjoy a conversation that could be both serious and light hearted. She was enjoying his company immensely. "Well it was lucky I came along wasn't it? Though, you know, there are many beautiful mortal women out there who I am sure would enjoy a visit from Love. Especially now people are starting to relax and trust one another again."

"I suppose there are worse things I could be doing," he conceded, laughing pleasantly. "I have...met a few, but a few more couldn't hurt." Rio stretched and resettled his candy wings with a faint creak. There were the usual few snapped pinions, as he never could keep from breaking them.

"Indeed." Cosine agreed, watching him flex his pretty wings, then looking back at her books. "I suppose I should get on my way." She decided, as much as she enjoyed whiling away time with good company she had things she wanted to get done. "I have enjoyed meeting you Rio. You should drop by my rooms some time for tea. I am no great cook but I do believe I have perfected cookies."

"It has been my pleasure, and would be to visit as well" he said sincerely, sketching a slight bow. "I do love cookies." This, like most things about him, was probably not surprising - how could a Love god with candy wings not like other sweet things? "Where might I call on you?"

"I have yet to meet someone who does not. Nergal and Ankou perhaps, though they do not eat at all really." She shrugged and smirked at herself. Of course he did not know where to look for her. "Ah, yes. My door is a mosaic of spirals all swirling together. Like the head of a sunflower. Ankou's is a field with a crow flying over head. They are next door to each other and joined so knock on either one and you should find me."
