There's a puppy wandering around near the lake shore; looking for things to inspect, new friends to meet, cats to wuff at (though her mistress is still trying to break that particular habit), and treats to con Eirene out of.

She's there too, wearing her favorite bikini, a pair of shorts, and working on something having to do with the Olympics. Come say hi to puppy or goddess, neither mind the company.

Teja does prefer cats to dogs, but he also prefers the goddess to no goddess.

And the puppy is quite sweet.-

"Greetings, Eirene!"

[eirenikos]

Eirene glances up from where she is scribbling in suggestions for behind-the-scenes chaos in regards to the upcoming Games, and grins at her best friend.

"Hi, Teja."

[ostro_goth]

"How are you faring, my Eirene?" Teja asks.

[eirenikos]

"I think 'stressed' best fits my current mood. We have less than a month before everything starts, the builders still haven't finished with the apartments for the athletes and their entourages, one of the stadiums is having electrical problems."

Mel bounds over to flop down and gnaw on a piece of driftwood.

[ostro_goth]

"Why is that your duty?" Teja asks. "It is unfair to leave all chaos to the gods!"

[eirenikos]

"Because I volunteered to help out!" Or might have been volunteered by her father, which is a little closer to what really happened. Not that Eirene didn't offer to help on her own afternwards.

Teja still gets a Look.

"This is my people's first Olympics since tv was invented and they are working day and night to make sure we do not let the world down. I'll sleep after the Games are over."

[ostro_goth]

"Indeed, if it is your duty, then you must do it," Teja says. "Is there a thing that I might help you with, maybe?"

[eirenikos]

"How are you about stuffing envelopes?"

[ostro_goth]

"What are envelopes?" Teja asks.

Pause.

"But I am willing to learn."

Nancy's dog has escaped, while she caught a bit of sleep at the foot of a tree.

Thus, there is a young bulldog mix racing around the lake area.

[eirenikos]

Clearly, that young mongrel needs a new friend, prompting Mel to tear across the shoreline in hot pursuit. Naturally, she is barking loudly and doing her best to look friendly.

Plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaytime!

[iamhismummy.livejournal.com]

Hihihi!, she gets in response, as Puppy skitters towards her. Playtime?

[eirenikos]

Playtime! We runrunrunrun and chase balls and squirrels and birds and cats and my goddess gives us treats when we sit down next to her.

Mel is still very much a puppy.

[iamhismummy.livejournal.com]

Chasing is fun! he agrees. But my lady won't let me go far at home. What's a goddess?

[eirenikos]

The two-legger I live with.

Mel turns around to wuff in Eirene's direction, then catches sight of her tail and spends a minute or two trying to catch it.

[iamhismummy.livejournal.com]

Puppy cocks his head at Eirene, curious.

Is she a person?

[eirenikos]

She's my person, comes the answer. Mel races back to the blonde long enough to recieve an absent scratching behind her ears and then returns quickly with one of her balls.

Which is dropped before the bulldog in a completely non-subtle manner.

If he weren't sober, or if he were still Dilan, or if Xigbar was here, Xaldin would crack a comment about the hotness of the babe in the bikini.

As it is he nods when he passes above the woman and the puppy. He's got no scent at all to the puppy's nose, to every sense except the eyes he simply doesn't exist.

[eirenikos]

Do those senses include any aspect of the Divine? Because Eirene can sense what mortals cannot, though she is always willing to admit there are other realms with stranger rules out there.

"Good day."

Still, there's no reason not be polite and friendly, even if her dog is ignoring the stranger to chew on a piece of wood.

[sliceitwithwind.livejournal.com]

To every sense except sight, hearing, and touch Nobodies don't exist. The divine senses would more than most be screaming about the sheer wrongness and abomination of the being walking on the air. If they can sense anything at all. He's body and soul held together with nothing but will and drive, but he is completely missing his heart and everything metaphysically connected to the heart.

Xaldin is literally made of Air and Nothing and willpower.

"Good day." Xaldin states in return with a nod.

[eirenikos]

Eirene is not going to freak out, having been around Milliways long enough to know that something will come along to top whatever it is that you deem the strangest thing witnessed, but she will sit up and stare.

Politely.

"How are you staying all in one piece?"

Tact? The blonde needs no tact.

[sliceitwithwind.livejournal.com]

"I won't leave him." Xaldin says simply, "There is no choice but to hold on."

[eirenikos]

"Leave who?"

Eirene might look vaguely confused now.

[sliceitwithwind.livejournal.com]

"Xigbar." Xaldin says quietly "His other was Dilan's best friend. I promised I wouldn't leave him. And I won't."

[eirenikos]

"Oh." That made next to no sense at all. "But it's good that you are keeping to a promise."

Beat.

"I'm Eirene."
