Really? He wondered what Laurence's reaction to the two aoidei had been; After all the man jumped over hedge and face planted when he spotted Rio and himself together and that was when the priest figured he was likely a woman.

Really. Even though Shy was soaking wet and they were practically sitting on top of each other. He looked like he was about to faint, but he managed somehow. The god grinned as he recalled the encounter; he'd been good and hadn't teased Laurence, and had actually sent the pair away to 'spare' him, but it had been a little tempting to let them linger.

Leo's eyebrows raised a bit at the offered explanation. More resilient than I might have expected. He patted the open space on the bed beside him. Come here and sit with me, while you work out this master plan of yours.

Master plan? Rio laughed, but did as he was bade and rose from his spot on the floor to sit on the bed beside Leo instead. It's not usually much of a master plan, unless there are actual returned gods involved. It's just finding a good hiding spot and waiting, really.

Mmm. Well, seems you have it all figured out then. Leo rolled over and rested his head on Rio's thigh. Clearly it had been part of this lion's plans to get his 'pillow' back onto the bed.

I have done it a few times. Aha, so that was what this was about! Not that he was ever likely to object to being a pillow. I see there was an ulterior motive here, he observed, amused.

Mhm. Hope you don't mind? He smiled up at Rio, looking somewhat sheepish. What other adventures have you had, assuming you don't mind sharing?

Not at all, he assured Leo, bending to kiss his lips. Rio would be the last person to ever complain about too much cuddling!
Adventures? Hn. Truthfully, he done much that qualified as an 'adventure' in his mind. The one thing that did was...difficult, because it involved Kishara, but he soon answered anyway, although the momentary internal conflict probably wasn't hard to see. After Samyaza attacked, they brought the goddess she hurt - Gaia - to me, but then...she disappeared. So I went out and looked for her.
Which, given the state of things at the time, had been a rather dangerous endeavor. I did find her, but it was hardly a rescue. She was fine.

Mmm... He reached up and ran his fingers through Rio's hair as the god pulled away. It seemed that something about this little 'adventure' bothered him still. Certainly sounds heroic and dangerous to me.

I'm not sure she thought so. He smiled ruefully. She was always stubbornly insistent that she didn't need any help, or deserve it. Thoughts of the goddess still hurt, though the ache was duller than it had once been. He couldn't change what was, and he'd gotten a little better at not dwelling on it.

That seems to be true of a lot of women who have dealt with pain. Leo reached up and caressed his cheek. I apologize if I unknowingly broached a delicate subject.

It's alright. Rio tilted his head into the touch, closing his eyes. It was a long time ago, or at least it seems so now. I've never spoken much about it with anyone, but I don't...mind telling you.

I'm honored your willing to confide in me. Leo sat up, stealing a kiss from Rio while his eyes were closed. Truly.

Love's eyes fluttered open at the kiss, and he sighed when it was finished. I could think of no one better. There was something about Leo that put him at ease and soothed him, though he couldn't put his finger on exactly what it was. There were some elements of love that remained a mystery even to him. I was a bit of a mess then, really. For being a God of Love, I have a terrible time with the unrequited kind.

Well, it certainly isn't pleasant so its understandable. Leo had to deal with it directly more often than he liked; he had turned away a patron or two who expected far more than he could really give. Not to mention he'd be the consolation for no few broken hearts. His gentle, playful nature had helped him heal a fair share of emotional wounds. Mind vanishing your wings?
