Asherah started at him a moment, flushing beneath her fur again. Beautiful? "I imagine it would be, my l-Rio. I hadn't thought about it that way." Her smile softened and she closed her eyes, sighing inwardly. Way make it obvious that he embarrassed you! Silly kitten...

"Most things you would imagine of me are probably true," he asserted with a grin. There was a fair amount of vanity in the statement, but also a share of lightheartedness. It wasn't often that he fully took himself seriously, so he was usually aware when he was being corny...which didn't stop him at all.

"No doubt after living up to mortal, and occasionally immortal, expectations for so long." Her eyes opened and she grinned back at him, sitting up after a moment to undo the ribbon that held back her long hair. She secured the ribbon loosely around her wrist so it wouldn't be lost before settling back onto the pillows, hair somewhat fanned around her and spilling over the pillows. "Much better, gets uncomfortable to lay on after a while."

"Only occasionally immortal expectations, you think?" He feigned a pout, but soon broke it with a laugh. It was true, at least in this life. The number of apparently 'taken' deities was rather disappointing, in some ways - surely they hadn't always been so inclined to monogamy? Something to do with their mortal hosts, perhaps.
Rio was all too happy to watch Asherah undo her hair, and his wings fluttered a little. Was she really doing that because it had been uncomfortable, or was she trying to entice him? "Much better, indeed."

A little of column A, a little of column B. Not that she would tell him that of course! "I can only go by what I've heard and most of that is little more than rumor." The catgirl shrugged. "I'm sure there are plenty yet, who would enjoy your company, maybe they just don't realize or haven't joined the reborn yet?" She reached out and plucked a lock of hair from the pillows, twirling it around her fingers absently.
"Its rare for me to keep it down, usually it gets in the way too much. I've thought of cutting it, but I always end up deciding against it." She looked away from the lock of hair she had been toying with finally and met his gaze. "So its always been this way." Was it just her imagination or was he staring at her?

"It's no matter, truly. Immortal or mortal, there is nothing that makes the love of one greater or lesser than that of the other." He took what he could get, essentially, and adored them all regardless. The only downside to loving a mortal was that they would die, one day, but it was something he tried to avoid thinking about as much as possible until he absolutely had to.
Of course, there were always aoidei and ageless, too. "It would be a shame to cut such lovely hair, truly. Not that shorter hair isn't also beautiful, but...there will always be something about long hair."
He was having to try very hard to resist touching it.

Ah ha! It seemed he was eyeing her hair. "You can touch it, if you like. I don't mind." She reached up and and took one of his hands, gently tugging him over in case he needed a little more encouragement. Though she doubted he would now that she had given him permission.

"So obvious, am I?" Rio laughed at being found out - although it certainly hadn't been the only thing he was eyeing, it was...well. Like he'd said, there was something about long hair, and it wasn't just that he wanted to touch it, either. He wanted to do more than that. But how well would she need to know him, first? Surely she already guessed his motivations, at least to some extent. He was Love.
He hesitated only slightly when she took his hand, but soon he softly stroked her hair with obvious appreciation, remarking, "Everything feels a little different with these hands."
The pads, the sheathed claws...it was odd, but not in a bad way.

"I'm used to watching for things others don't often pay attention to. You have to remember who I belong to." Asherah grinned and reached out for his unoccupied paw and picked it up to look at it. "Not quite the same as me, close though. Even for me true paws would take some getting used to its too convenient having hands. If its really a discomfort, you can go back to your true shape, I don't mind."
Gradually her gaze drifted from his paw back to his eyes, seeming a little bashful all of a sudden. "You are probably the only one I could ask this of, without it seeming odd or out of place. Would you...kiss...me?" Suddenly the pillow seemed more interesting. "I just want to see what it feels like...if its different then when she does."

Rio wiggled his fingers a little when she took his hand to look at it - it was somewhere between paw and hand, with all the function of the latter, but with pawpads and slightly shorter fingers. "Oh, it's not uncomfortable at all...in fact, I rather enjoy the differences."
He blinked at her when she asked her to kiss him, somewhat surprised - in the very best of ways! - by the sudden, if shy, request. And she wanted him to do it because she wanted to know if it would be different from when her goddess kissed her. Now that was definitely fuel for the imagination!
"I'm honored that you would ask me...and it would be my pleasure." Love smiled, and used the hand she already held to pull her up and gently towards him.
His wings gave a tiny, excited flutter as he kissed her softly.

Asherah made a little pleased noise when he kissed her; she returned it shyly, mind swimming in a pleasant way. In some ways it was the same and others it was different; she felt the same sort of divine mana, but the intent...ah that was the difference. His kiss seemed more warm and comforting, compared to hers, perhaps because of the fact that he was Love.
She looked up at him through half lidded eyes, looking quite pleased, when he finally drew back. "Thank you for that. It was a learning experience." A very good one indeed, that she honestly wouldn't mind repeating. "That's only the third time I've been kissed in my whole life. My lady is the only other one who has..." Her voice just sort of died off. Surely, he would understand; he was a god and Love at that.
She smiled and reached up to caress his cheek.

"Three times?" Rio was genuinely and openly surprised by Asherah's revelation. For an ageless like an aoide, one's 'whole life' was very long, and that was very few kisses to be had. "Now, that won't do..."
"Maybe we should add to the count." He lifted his hand to stroke her cheek in turn, and leaned in to kiss her again, more deeply this time.

The catgirl laughed softly. "Chase Trickery and then tell me if you feel you have time for anything else." She certainly wouldn't say no to another kiss from him though! Her head turned a little to nuzzle his hand when he stroked her cheek, turning back in time to catch his lips when he leaned down again. This time was a little less shy and she was practically purring.

His long tail curled with delight, and the hand on her cheek slid back so he could brush his fingers through her hair. That was precisely what he'd been wanting to do, to kiss her and to bury his fingers in that luxurious hair of hers, and he didn't want to stop. But breathing was necessary, and eventually he had to. He didn't pull away, though, instead purring and nuzzling her cheek.
He waited awhile to speak, content and pleased. "Since you're not chasing her at this moment, perhaps you'd care to make up for lost time?"

She smiled, nuzzling him in turn. "Sounds like a delightful idea, Rio."
