Emir looked at Delilah and smiled. "You're welcome- would you care for any more? I could never run out."

"Granted too often they become hollow and empty," Delilah said quietly. "I miss the days when words held meaning."

"Too true- though I have been alive for quite a while longer than yoruself, and words were still only shadows of what they once were. I hope you trust me when I say that everything I say to you is true," Emir cocked his head pplayfully. "How could I lie to a Goddess?"

Delilsh snorted indignantly, "I am hardly a goddess..."

Emir breathed in a large sigh. "I say beauty is in the eye of the beholder- and to call you a Goddess is a lowly comparison- Aphrodite and Venus would gush to be compared to you in your beauty and Minerva and Athena would die to have your intellegence."

"My beauty was tainted the day these wings and horns sprouted," she said bitterly. "Not that it really matters. Beauty really isn't what everyone seems to think it is."

Emir looked puzzles and his forhead creased gently. "You... weren't born a demon?"Then he blinked. "Do I repulse you?" he asked, aware of his horns.

"I was born an earth pony," she said softly. "Snow white coat framed with ruby. I was once beautiful...but I changed, a reflection my true self I suppose." She glanced over at him, "No, you do not repulse me. To be honest, you remind me of someone. A man I once cared for very much..."

Emir turned his head gently. "I think you're beautiful- and not the vapid beauty of a sheltered angel- but a beauty earned by resiliance to the harshness of living. I don't understand how you don't see it... you radiate it. You exhale it." He paused. "I... resemble this... person?"

"Good ways? I hope so..." said Emir, his lip pulling to a devillish one sided smile.

"And you will not indulge me with whom I resemble? Ahh, no matter, I enjoy an air of mystery," said Emir happily. He paused, trying to commit to memory the sound of her laugh. He was concentrating hard on it... and it was like trying to remember how a river ran a second ago...

"Someone I once cared about very much," Delilah said tilting her head to regard him as he appeared to be so focused on something unknown. "Is something wrong?"
