After the Forge (Cherry & Mikael)

Baffled by the lack of reaction to the tickle attack, she'd abandon it. "Wow... I'm sorry..." She'd hug him close. To lose your sibling, and have your family hurt even more, was a tragedy. Perhaps more-so for DemiGods, as they weren't exactly a numerous as regular Humans, but that was a matter of opinion. "I can't image the pain you and your Mother must feel..." Doesn't bother to mention their Godly parents, because they all know that they've lost tons of kids and are used to it. In fact, they're probably the only parents to be used to losing kids a lot... Depressing, really. Kinda makes you wonder why they keep having kids...

It's not so much new to her, since, well, the obvious fact that like it or not, she's a Daughter of the Goddess of Love, and her siblings, despite knowing she'll hit them, tend to hug her a lot. Usually makes for amusing photos, where everyone is being silly, and she's just glaring. But hugging someone like this, who isn't Family? Yeah, that's kind of new to her. "I wish there was something I could do for you..."

"I wouldn't mind keeping you company, assuming Mom doesn't steal all my appropriate clothes..." She'd scowl up at the sky, and mouth "I"m warning you". She didn't know if her Mother was watching, but she was going to threaten the sky anyways. "I'm starting to run out of my clothes, and be stuck with whatever she left alone... Which isn't much." She'd snuggle into Mikael, feeling cozy

After a while of silence, she would look up and him, and completely out of nowhere, kiss him on the lips briefly, then resume just being snuggled into him. She would find out if he had any feelings soon enough. For now, just being together was great for her.

Well, she didn't have hard lips. She took good care of herself, despite being an atypical Child of Aphrodite. His continued presence comforted her, and he didn't seem to be unhappy, so she'd take that as a plus. After quite a stretch of silence, she'd speak. "Something on your mind?"

She'd give him a look of confusion. "Oh... Uh... So I was your first?" She'd blush quite heavily, which looked, who knows, possibly cute to him? "...I hope it didn't suck. I'd never live that down with my siblings..." Though, she could just threaten them. Which usually worked. *She'd trace lines on his chest with a finger, no rhyme or rhythm to it, just tracing aimlessly*
