"So you would refuse if I offered you the true nectar?" she asked.
Melinoë gently pushed the bottle back toward him. It was his gift to drink, not hers. She still had plenty stored back at her camp. Instead, her gaze drifted to the water and the darkening horizon.
"I shouldn't grow complacent here," she murmured. "My duty to slay Chronos weighs heavily on my mind. And yet… these moments of beauty are hard to turn away from."
"No. I would refuse nothing you offered." Wait. That came out a little...much. But he couldn't think of a way to retract it so he just let the words hang in the night air, watching the sky on the water.
"I understand. My chapter, my kind, we have the hours set for us for our Primarch, so that we have something to fill our time, other than worry and idleness. It is a blessing sometimes."
"Good. It is rude to refuse a gift from the gods." She teased — although it was very true if her interactions with the gods of Olympus were to be considered.
"Most of my time is spent hunting down Chronos, or aiding my family on the surface. The Crossroads offer some reprieve, but even then I feel anxious when I am not moving. Is it like this often, here?" Should she expect it more?
