This Sucks (OTA)

[heartaphrodite]

Aphrodite was not enjoying this. This was cruel and unusual punishment and she was sure that Hera was behind this because this was the sort of punishment her cow-face of a mother would dream up. She spent the early part of the day throwing a tantrum in her temple. While she couldn't yell, vases and other breakable objects made up for the lack of

Despite my penchant for talking (and talking, and talking...), the enforced silence is not bothering me much. I am capable of being quiet for long periods of time and that has actually been my custom as a ranger. It is only here in the village that I never seem to shut up.

I've decided to take a walk and I think I'm pleased I came to the beach. That is, I've not seen the Lady Aphrodite since her party in February and she looks... She looks not entirely happy, but extremely beautiful just the same. And her lack of clothing makes me blush. I don't want to, I just can't help it. At least I manage to smile at her, even if my face is a bit red.

She heard the walking and propped up on her elbows. It was Faramir and she saw that he was blushing - she always responded well to blushing.

Aphrodite wiggled her fingers in a wave to him while smiling somewhat flirtatiously.

That pose she's in gives her an interesting appearance--it accents things.

I'm a bit surprised that she can't talk either, although perhaps it was just a wave. She's so intimidating but after Tabitha, a bit like Aphrodite's counterpart in being love itself, I have it in me to be a bit more forward.

What can I do with no words to help me? I manage a wink.

[heartaphrodite]

The wink from him was adorable and made Aphrodite sit up all the way. She drew in one of her long, slender legs to her stomach as she looked at him with an eternally suggestive look. She wriggled her finger in a 'come here' gesture.

Now I've done it. Well, I've been invited so the least I can do is accept.

I cannot help but notice how unusually long her legs seem to be with one up like that and the other all stretched out. Either that or it's the fact that they are completely bare and I haven't seen a woman like this since... Perhaps I saw swimming suits in the summer, but this seems different.

It's a bit strange, I suppose, but I manage a formal bow. She is a goddess, after all.

[heartaphrodite]

Aphrodite was always a fan of bowing when it came to her. She liked being shown respect like that and it was only a select few who truly knew how to treat her like a goddess.

She held out her hands and suddenly two pink martini-style drinks appears. She held one up to Faramir with a 'want a drink?' expression.

[faramir_hurin]

To accept the drink I must first sit, but I do so. It is almost like a dream with us being unable to speak though I suppose the sand would be more comfortable in a dream.

I take the drink with my left hand and hold out my right, though I'm not sure if she knows that I mean to kiss her hand if she will allow it. This silence calls for all the courtly manners (and perhaps winks) that I can muster.
