Zeus' face stayed stone still, although her eyes flashed dangerously. "Oh dear–I think I'd like to tango with you one day, doll face." She purred, stepping around the woman to retrieve her own fix. Oddly, if felt like they'd had this fight before.
"You make me laugh, it would be like a lighting strike against someone six feet under," Hades raised another eyebrow in response, sipping from her cup and rolling her eyes.
”Oh, for the love of…” Artemis groaned. ”Will you two stop flirting with each other and just order your coffee? Not everyone wants to see that.” she finally snapped at the two oddly familiar women. She almost wished it was still acceptable to carry her bow in public, but sadly all she was ”legally” allowed to have on her right now was the small clip of pepper spray.
Hades turned to the other woman. "We already did, it seems you are just unobservant." She hummed, turning on her heel and walking to a table. She pulled out her laptop swiftly and logged in, she liked the atmosphere of this room, so she would do some work here.
Artemis poorly held back a very wolfish growl. ”I’m very observant. It's just hard to concentrate through the testosterone you're both giving off.” she muttered angrily before finally placing her order for two coffees and the strongest espresso they had.
Zeus peeked over her shoulder at the new angry lady. Honestly, there must be something in the air that morning that had them all a little testy, but absurdly this made the young woman smile. She winked a blue eye at the woman, pretty face open and flirtatious. "Jealous, honey? There's plenty of me to go around I assure you."
Artemis turned in shock to the flirty woman, she had almost forgotten she was still standing there, and managed to bark out a short harsh laugh. ”Not even if the world depended on it. And the fact that you put yourself out there so blatantly is an even louder ’No’. Honestly, do you have no restraint?” she asked incredulously, though the words almost felt familiar. ”Does no one value chastity anymore?”
Hardly fazed by the insult, Zeus smirked. "Oh please. Don't be droll." She teased over the rim of her coffee mug. A fat donut in her other hand. She moved around the little shop, ignoring the eyes of the other patrons on her generous form. The next words out of her mouth were easy and light, despite the odd sense of deja vu passing through her. "Have a little fun once in awhile. It won't kill you."
”Oh, Rhea help me.” Artemis sighed under her breath. ”It’s not droll. It's virtuous. And one I will live by even if the pits of Tarta-” she barely caught herself as her voice started to gain volume. ”I mean the pits of the earth were to swallow me whole.” she finished at a more controlled tone, though her eyes were as sharp as daggers.
Zeus took a bit of her donut, with a casual shrug, eyes alit with something that looked sinful. "Your loss, sweetheart." With a final smirk, she scooped up her phone and started to scroll through a form of social media, completely dismissing the woman before her.
She smiled and leaned against a tree, looking down at King who was chasing his own tail at the moment.
He emerged from the building wearing his typical clothing of a white tank top under an aviator jacket, with a pair of frayed and faded jeans and simple sneakers. Dionysus's right hand was in his pocket, while the left still clutched the bottle of wine.
(Is this still open? And are we just doing Greek gods or can I be another mythology?)
(This is still very open but we are sticking with Greek mythology.)
Artemis didn't even bother to hide her shudder of disgust as the other woman left. ”Trust me, I'm not losing anything.” she said to no one really before she drank her espresso like a shot of Jack then grabbing her other two coffees and sat down at an empty table, kicking her feet on top of it.
"You should hide that bottle. We could get kicked out of the store." She said once he came back. Poseidon clipped King's leash back on her waist and started walking towards the shop.
"Fine, fine," he mumbled, slipping the bottle into his other pocket. It didn't even make a bulge in the material, almost like he just dropped it in a bottomless pit.
Laughing, she started heading towards the coffee shop, trying to remember why he looked so familiar
"So what is this store you've been talking about?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in her direction.
"Its a small coffee shop at the end of this park. It has amazing coffee and usually has a short line." She explained, pointing to the small building that had appeared in view.
"I prefer wine," he said with a shrug. "Although I'm guessing you already know this."
Dionysus scratched the scar on his jaw absentmindedly, still racking his brain as to why he feels like he knows this complete stranger. There was just something about her that….just….mmmph. It was frustrating to think about. He, despite the fact he was pretty much an alcoholic, was by no means dumb. Used to knowing things, the fact that these unexplained emotions came out of nowhere made it even more aggravating.
They arrived at the coffee shop and as soon as they walked in, Poseidon could feel the angry auras coming from a couple people. "What happened here?" She muttered, shaking her head and getting into line
"Seems like a few people didn't have their morning glass of wine," he said with a shrug, slipping beside her.
Artemis raised a brow as she overheard what the new couple said as they walked in. As she actually looked at them she realized she felt the same familiarity towards them as she did with the two annoying women. Deciding on a different tactic she gave a small wave to them as they got in the line.
Dionysus looked over in the corner of the coffee shop, his frown deepening when he felt the same feeling he felt with Poseidon. A woman sat there waving at him. There has been some weird shit going on today.
Poseidon waved back and smiled warmly. "Hello!" She called from her place in line. King let out a small bark and pulled against his leah to try and go towards the nice lady.
Now that she had had some coffee, Artemis was in a slightly better mood as she returned the smile before causally approaching them; apparently playing the part of a friendly dog lover. She figured that would be a nice enough way to break the ice. ”Hi. Sorry if I'm bothering you both but you have a beautiful dog.” That sounded much less awkward in my head.
