What could dhe do but laugh at his question. Even if it was a valid one it still seemed funny.
"I'm not sure." She replied, glancing off to the waterfall. "I'm assuming not um, the obvious way. If I were to think logically it would have to be a merging of ourselves? Though how...? I imagine it is different for each of us."

...What was so funny about what he had just said ? Oh well. If it made her laugh, he could deal with it. He loved the sound of her laugh.
"Well, Echo was not pregnant, technically." Well, not in the mortal definition, really. As for how exactly her children were made, well, there were some things you just did not ask. At least not as far as Ankou was concerned.
Beside, he had been too busy laughing at what he had more or less considered the most amazing 'whoops' moment in the history of gods reborn. Really, the timing had been a little train-wrecky.
"Most likely." Through how... ? Well, there was really just one thing he could think of. Gloved hands travelled to his wings, pulling out the brightest feathers, the bigger ones, full of mana, They would grow back, so even if that did not work... Well, it was not that big of a deal.
"Well, that is the only thing I can think about." He offered, sheepish, and now definitively glad they were alone, with no curious mortals, aoidei, or valkyries eavesdropping on them.

"Oh, I hadn't thought about that." She admitted. "How they will be born. Spending so long as a human it's easy to assume everything will be the human way."
She watched him pull the feathers from his wings and reached out to take them from him. Cosine studied them for a moment then brushed them against her cheek whilst she thought about it. How to merge.
"Can you braid them into my hair?" She asked, looking up at him. "Perhaps I can aborb the mana." It was a long shot but worth it perhaps.

Braid it ? Well, it was worth a shot. "I can try..." He was not that good with hair, but he definitively did know how to braid, at least.
The gloves were taken off, and combed through her hair with his fingers, making sure it was good and tangle-free before he started the actual braiding part, making sure to space the feathers evenly. Probably would not make a difference, if this actually worked at all, but well... It would look nicer that way.
"Like this ?" He asked, careful not to accidentally pull on her hair too much.

Cosine closed her eyes to the feel of his fingers in her hair and nodded.
"Yes, like that. It seems silly, I know, but it is a symbolic joining perhaps, a statement of intention?" She breathed in slowly. "Coupled with the physical act." Of course she still had no real idea, just a vague memory of casting joy on Nergal before his children must have been concieved.

Oh, he did feel rather silly, which is why it was such a blessing that they were alone. But really, Ankou figured that he should just trust his lover's instinct on this. Because otherwise, well... He had no idea, beside the obvious.
Would that stop him from trying the obvious ? Of course not.
Still, he hoped this would work, because he really... really.... reaaaaaalllyyyyy did not want to go ask advice about this. Xun Jiang would most likely laugh his scaled butt off, and the Spirit Guide would not even be able to blame him.
It was not long before the braid was done, and all the feathers waved in. Some leftover leather cord and this was about as secure as it could be, really. "It does look good on you." Proud ? Well.
Maybe a little.

The situation was awkward really, but as it were just the two of them, that did not really matter. If it did not work then she would have a new charm for her hair, something personal. She would have to watch her collecting, soon she would have a whole head of feathers.
"They feel nice, cooling." She fell silent a moment and closed her eyes. She could feel the mana in them too. In the background the sound of water from the waterfall and the sounds of the birds made her smile. This really was the perfect place and she did not want to go back to the bustle of the Pantheon any time soon. A playful smile crossed her lips as she opened her eyes.
"This water looks quite inviting doesn't it?"

"Hmmm." He pondered out loud, eyeing the waterfall with a rather mischievous look on his face. That could certainly be fun, would it not be ?
"Would you like to go for a swim, then ?" He offered. It was not such a hard climb - or jump, really - down from here.

Cosine grinned and nodded.
"Well, it's uch a lovely day and a beautiful setting. It would be a shame to leave now." She raised an eyebrow and reached behind herslef to loosen the tie at the back of her dress ...
