What have we here?

[str1fe]

Materializing about a half of a yard from the center courtyard where Harmonia and himself had previously lingered. Strife spies Harmonia at a fountain, but she is not alone. She is accompanied and seemingly preoccupied with a stranger. He ducks down behind a bush.

"Who is that with her?"

Rationalizes, "Must be one of the newcomers!"

from that distance, he could see as looked at the Celtic Goddess with a serious sort of innocence, only blinking her gaze away as the pebble fell into the fountain, creating a disturbance in the water.

Immediately she looked up, then around.

Strife snickered in playful delight as he had interrupted the moment for Harmonia.He continued to wait it out in the bushes, waiting for the next moment she would look away, so that he could sling another stone.

Her response about finding someone else forgotten, as she follows Harmonia's lead and looks around. She sits stock still and listens for the slightest sound that would betray the identity. Not hearing anything she shrugs slowly.

Were you expecting any additional company?

Wonders if it's merely one of her brother's doing what supposedly brother's are good at.

she shrugged, loking back to Flidais with a shake of her head expecting anyone? No... It's probably nothing.

She offered a bright smile Where were we?

glances around once again before returning her full attention to the conversation.

I had been seeing a mortal for awhile but he had a mortal woman that he loved so I left him one night.

sighs softly

If I ever find someone else I want it to be real. I want someone who won't try to change who I am. I want to be in love and I want to be loyal to that person. I don't want to be going to the mortal world for what I should be getting from him.

I've never heard of monogamy in a marriage between deities. But then, I was married to a mortal, so....

she shrugged

frowns while she thinks about the words that were just spoken

Perhaps I have spent to much time in the mortal world, allowing myself to be influenced by some of their beliefs toward marriage. shrugs It is a nice idea though, to be able to find that one person who you could love forever like that.

taps her fingers idly on the picture still in her lap.

Have you given any thought about re-marrying?

[harmonia_dotcom]

Oh, I think a forever love is possible... my mother and father have something that's lasted ages. But fidelity? It's never worked. I had a very monogamous relationship with Kadmos - but that was only one lifetime. After that, I was in the fields, so it didn't matter.

as for marrying again?

she shrugged, looking down into her lap as she played with a peach for a moment before biting into it

I'm not sure it's really an option, yanno?

[flidais_dot_com]

I understand completely.

smiles brightly

Maybe there is still hope for me then that one day I'll find a love like the one you say ties your mother and father together.
