@soonyoung k. › helios。 Perhaps it is his bold and fearless demeanor that interested her, his willingness to go against basic, moral values just by flirting with her. What he risked was an eternity of punishment, an extreme response the gods were quite notorious for no matter the severity of the crime. There is no denying that she was frightened not only for him, but what could become of her for letting him do as he pleases. A so-called "meet up" didn't seem so bad, it was harmless at most. But she knew that even the most innocent of actions could get a proper scolding from her husband, who absolutely isn't forgiving when retaliating. And yet here she is, allowing her mind to drift off to think about how breathtaking his eyes were, especially under the golden rays casted by his chariot. They were absolutely entrancing, small rivers of pure, molten gold flowing along solid blocks of the same metal. She only realized his small gesture when he had pulled away. Her cheeks grew warm, a pinkish tint colouring her fair skin. Her azure orbs shifted to his outstretched hand, and with only the slightest bit of hesitation, did she gingerly place hers in his. And she found herself smiling again.

@soojung j. › persephone。 Illuminious golden eyes traced along the nervous gesture manifesting in the way Persephone fiddled with her golden halo of hair. On impluse, Helios stretched out his fingers to tuck her soft locks behind her ear. His fingers lingered, admiring the delicate earrings decorating her earlobe before bringing his hand to hang loosely at his side with the other tucked in his pocket.
"It's okay. It can just be a meet up. A few of my nymphian daughters are near the clearing so we could have a visit with them as well."
He sends Persephone a soft, reassuring smile before outstretching his hand for her to take.
"It'll be okay, I promise. I'll take the heat from it."
He adds on with a wink.

@soonyoung k. › helios。 To say that she found this immortal being quite peculiar is rather an understatement in itself, his affinity for flattery in the most bold yet subtle of ways a rather difficult thing to fathom, especially after considering the power he holds as a first generation deity. Hearing such words of admiration elicited past the defined curvature of his tiers causes her to shyly play with her straight, golden locks; a habit she developed at a young age. This little quirk is easily accompanied by the rosy colour adorning normally pale flesh, the soft skin flushing in response to the male's words. Upon his touch does she force her blue orbs to meet his own golden irises, his gaze bright and piercing against porcelain skin. "I..." she starts, though she struggles to find words that would make even the slightest bit of sense. "A date, I— I don't know, Helios."

@soojung j. › persephone。 /my eyes drop, tracing along the slender lines over your arms with a not so subtleness before i trail back up to your dazzling smile.
ah, well. i might be a bit of a flirt, i'll admit. i swear i mean no harm though. i simply wish to bring smiles to beautiful faces... and see them remain.
/extends my arm out to cup your cheek, my thumb brushing over your lip in the breadth of a touch before it is swiftly removed to its place deep in my pockets.
mm... and every word i speak is the truth as well, my queen.
/ticks my head to the side, lips pursed.
...say, do you wish to go on a date with me? i know a flower field nearby that is dying for your touch.
