[PRP] Infatuation meets Friendship

[Krysin]

There had been some new faces among the gods, but that was always the way. Time did move, even if very slowly for them. Some chose to give up their domain for mortality, while others perished. It was the natural cycle of things, though Somo reflected on that truth with some sadness. There were gods that she knew that were long gone now. Her domain was Friendship, and perhaps she lived up to it too much. She was acquainted with many gods, and so could bear witness to the changes in their lives while her's remained... stagnant.

Somo had done little with her life as a goddess, but that did not bother her. She had time. While she looked and sounded mature, she was still young in the grand scheme of things. She had barely spread her own wings and taken flight into the world. The pale goddess was still figuring out who she was, countless years after her own birth.

Who she was before, she did not know. Who she would be in the future... she did not know that either.

She was coming down the mountainside when she noticed the figure of another god. Not uncommon, but it was one she did not recognize. Either he was new, or he was one of the countless gods she had yet to meet. He would likely not be a stranger for long, and so she approached him, curious and welcoming. "Good day, isn't it?"

Flattery was not unwelcome, but Somo did not read too deeply into it. Instead, she smiled graciously, taking the compliment at face value. "Thank you for the kind words," she replied with an amused twinkle in her eye. She was far from the prettiest goddess, and for gods in general beauty was in the eye of the beholder. Somo was a soft, almost natural looking lioness if it wasn't for her butterfly wings and braided hair. There were many gods who preferred the unusual or those affiliated more with darker domains.

"As are your's," she returned the compliment. "Mine aren't good for much besides a fashionable adornment upon my back," the goddess of Friendship continued as she closed the distance between them. She had just met the god, but she felt comfortable enough to sit down in front of him, braids falling over the side of her neck and wings folding neatly down against her sides.

"I daresay I have not met you before. Have you been around here long?" the curiosity was clear in her voice. Sure, there were gods that she hadn't met before, but she more than likely had seen them all at some point in time. He seemed to be new to her.

"Ah, then you are relatively new," Somo confirmed with a slight nod of her head. That would explain why she was unfamiliar with the male. She had to reflect upon the fact that it was strange to see so many new gods cropping up at once. Surely the old ones were not all perishing at the same time by chance. This god was not the first new one she had met recently. Not long ago she had stumbled across a god who had just come into awareness. Was she meant to find them? Or was it really just a chance that Somo was the right goddess to greet these new beings.

"Do not worry, it makes perfect sense. It is a pleasure to meet you, Limerence." She had learned how to deal with these new beings, and she handled him almost delicately. She did not want his first introductions into the world to be negative. There were many things that could influence gods in the youth of their being.

"I am Somo, the goddess of friendship. Do you happen to know your own domain?" She was curious, because he seemed like such a pleasant god that surely his domain would match.

"Thank you, I try to live up to it. The world can always use a few more friendly faces." The realm of the gods was normally peaceful. Little changed here besides the faces that passed through. It was the mortal realm that was full of turmoil and change. It was perhaps the reason why Somo did not wander down to that level of the world. She had grown too used to the way of life here, and wasn't quite willing to change herself. She held the suspicion that if she descended from the mountain's top, the world below her would force her to change.

It was far better to stay where she was, safe, sheltered.

"I find it ironic that you are not the first new god I've met in such a short span of time," Somo admitted with an almost uneasy smile. She couldn't quite hide her concern at the appearance of new gods now that she had met more than one. Were more simply coming into being, or were their domains simply being left behind by their predecessors? It was hard to say, and since she didn't like to think upon such dark notes, she turned her attention elsewhere.

Back to Limerence. "I am pleased to hear you have such a pleasant domain. I am curious to see if you will live up to it," she told him with an amused smile.

"It is the nature of things, but I guess I am just a little startled to meet so many new faces nearly at once." Gods could become quite ancient beings. They weren't exactly immortal, but their lifespans were vast compared to that of mortals. It was for the better - they had duties to perform, after all. All gods had a role to play in the flow and function of the world, if they kept constantly changing their duties would surely be interrupted.

"Even if there was no need of me, I am here. I do hope that if I was not here, bonds of friendship would continue to be forged." Her absence, she imagined, would not exactly effect the world around her. She was sure mortals would persevere and friends would be found and made. All Somo's presence did was... make things easier at times.

She considered his offer with a little smile. To her, she had all the time in the world and not much about to fill it with. Her answer was obvious before she even gave it. The pale-toned goddess stood up and stretched out her fairy wings behind her. "I would love to."
