A beautiful day of glorious sunshine. The most sensible of people would be outside making the most of it. Working in gardens, relaxing on the grass on the grass with a book or a hobby to occupy their time.
Not Cosine, she was deep in the library up to her eyeballs in dust. Aparently sunshine was overrated. There were things to be done and she was not one to procrastinate.
"Almanacs. I want them on the to go pile." She declared as she glanced the shelves of her archive over. Kleo, her catgirl aoide scribbled a note down in her pad of paper.
"Mama! Look!." Two small hands were thrust towards her, covered in thick grey dust mixed with ash. The owner of those grubby hands, her son, looked up at her with a satisfied grin. Messy was always fun.
"Lovely." The goddess replied with a smile, "That hand print on your face is particularly fetching Isidore."
The infant god smiled proudly and turned to run over to the growing book mountain that took up one corner of the large hall. No problem, she would toss him in the bath with his sisters later, they were off with their Uncles Glyph and Xun, so would likely come back covered in mud.

Jin Huang wasn't quite sure what had driven him to the Library. To be sure, he was fond of books and learning, but was generally too occupied with other things to make visits himself. Typically, one of his demons would bring a selection of items to his attention if he required reading material.
Then again, the demons in question were driving him up the wall at the moment. They'd come over obsessed with cleaning and building and had utterly overtaken not only his rooms within the Pantheon, but what was fast becoming a proper medieval estate, centered around the house he'd originally occupied. He'd removed himself from both environments today after being obliquely accused of being underfoot and in the way. The dragon had stomped about outside for a time, all offended dignity, before burning through that and remembering that he really didn't enjoy the outdoors all that much.
So he'd retreated back inside, and headed off to the Library, not really anticipating meeting anyone there. The place had seemed large enough, from everything he'd heard.
So when he heard a small child's voice, he winced and turned to head further in, hopefully without meeting the child or whoever was looking after it. But another voice caught his ear, one speaking in response, this one familiar and not unwelcome. So he found himself moving towards the source of noise, instead of away. "Cosine," he greeted the goddess once he'd come close enough, recognizing her quite easily. "A pleasure to see you again." Even with a child in tow.

Cosine turned at the sound of her name and smiled at the newcomer. She did not quite recognise them but that did not mean she did not know them. With gods evolving all the time she quite often met those she could not recal.
"Hello." She studied him for a moment, there was something of the familiar, and he was clearly a dragon. "Jin it is good to see you in a truer form." It seemed like a lifetime since their last meeting. "How have you been?"
Isidore paused in his scaling of the book pile and turned to look at the stranger. He had a tail! and horns, Xun had a tail too.
"Dragon?!" He called, pointing to the god.

Jin Huang nodded his head briefly, acknowledging that her identification was correct. "An honor to be remembered by you, Lady," he replied, slipping easily into what Delmin would have referred to as 'stuffy dragon' mode. "I have been well, dealing with personal affairs." He gestured at both Cosine and Isidore. "It seems you have managing your own affairs quite well."
He looked at the boy gravely, then nodded again. "Yes, I am a dragon. Futs Lung, the Treasurer." He paused, offering a small grin. "Usually people call me Jin Huang. And who are you, little one?" Obviously deific, and nearly as obviously Cosine's son. Who the father was, the dragon had little idea, not having kept on the gossip and doings of the Pantheon as perhaps he should have.

Cosine gave a nod in agreement of his observation. She was of course proud of her children. She waited for Isidore to introduce himself as he was addressed.
Isidore looked up at the dragon king with an excited grin.
"I am Isidore, Funeral." He declared in a smililar manner to which he had heard his parents introduce themselves. "I have two sisters too, they're called Caelia and Kyrie. Do you have lots of treasure?"

Funeral? Jin Huang's eyebrow arched upward slightly. A grim domain for a child, perhaps. No doubt he would grow into it, as it were. "Two sisters?" he responded. "I have only one. Quite a few brothers, however," the dragon continued in an even tone. "Still, I imagine they can be just as much trouble as brothers."
His tail swished idly behind him as he pondered the question. "Not as much as I'd like," he answered truthfully. "Primarily I am tasked with the charge of my Lord Harmodious' treasure." He glanced at Cosine for a moment, but kept most of his focus on Isidore. One thing he'd picked up from Delmin was that while children may not always understand what's been said to them, it was unwise to assume they understood nothing. Deific children were probably more precocious than most, as well. "What brings you both to the Library today?"

Isidore smiled as the dragon spoke of his family. Uncle Xun is a dragon, is he your brother?" It made sense to him, both dragons, both important so they must know each other some how. "Sisters are fun, we go on lots of adventures together." Cosine had to smirk at that, the three of them could be quite the handful. She would answer the next question.
"Organising my archive, it's a bit of a mess thanks to the fading but we're getting on top of it. What brings you here?"
