Sam Linnfer does not like suits. Tidiness is not something that suits him, and it shows. (He still can’t believe Guppy’s forced him into this.) The suit, however, does suit him, for all he looks uncomfortable in it. He’s sitting on a table in the middle of the bar, swinging his legs idly and carefully drinking coffee while he waits for Medusa to come downstairs.

When she does arrive, stunning in her dress, wings hidden by the ring Hephaestos gave her, snakes hidden by the bracelet from Asar-Suti, she also looks worried: not so much about what she’s wearing, she knows she looks utterly stunning, but at the prospect of having to spend an entire day pretending to be human.

The look Sam gives her when he sees her helps, though. So for the moment they’re going to be sitting together on the table, being mushy.

Somebody interrupt them before they’re late for the wedding?

[OOC: Millitimed to before they leave for Guppy's wedding.]

Wedding, what wedding? Oh, right, the wedding that she's disguised for. That wedding.

She's ignoring said wedding in favour of tracing the lines on Sam's palm.

"The henna would have suited you," she tells him.

"No, Medusa, it wouldn't," Sam informs her firmly. "It looks much better on you."

"Yes, but it'd be interesting. Because you're so pale - do you ever go out in the sun? - it'd stain much darker."

"I go out in the sun plenty," he retorts with dignity. "I just don't tan."

"Ah-huh."

He gives her a stern look. "Medusa Gorgos, are you insinuating that you don't believe me?"

"Me?"

"You."

"Yes," she admits, leaning over and kissing him lightly.

"I'm hurt," Sam tells her, after the kiss. "Very hurt."

So hurt, in fact, that he kisses her again.

Well, this is nice and distracting and Guppy won't mind if they are late, right?

Right.

Right.

...Maybe suits aren't so bad, after all.

What's family for if not interrupting you when you're being mushy?

Artemis clears her throat.

And Medusa hadn't even noticed her - Sam's like that, sometimes. So, the Gorgon startles at the sound, her dark (and kohl-ringed) eyes large in her face.

"Artemis!"

It's then she turns a deep, dusky pink.

Sam is like that.

He looks up at Artemis and grins, totally unabashed, because look at the girl he's with!

"Hi, there."

Because Sam's like that, too.

"Hello, you two."

Artemis grins back. "And I assume this would be the Lucifer I've heard so much about?"

"Um. Yes."

Still very, very pink.

"Um. He tends to go by Sam, only I'm very bad at remembering it. And. Um. Sam, this is...Artemis. Obviously. She's one of the more likable gods from that side of the family."

They have discussions about falling to the ground at great speed from fatal heights. Not to mention Artemis healed her.

"Sam is what most people in the bar call me, mostly because Lucifer doesn't get many party invites. But either name is fine by me."

Sam offers Artemis his hand. "Pleased to meet you."

"Pleasure to meet you, too," she says, shaking his hand.

"You guys are headed off to the wedding, then?

"Just waiting for Guppy to take us there."

Of course, how they were going to notice Guppy is an entirely meaningless and unimportant question.

"I look human...ish. Right?"

"I wouldn't exactly say you look human." As far as Sam's concerned, she looks like a goddess.

"But nobody at the wedding will question your humanity, no."

"You're gonna do just fine," Artemis says.

"And you look amazing, by the way."

She's not above shameless flattery. Especially not when it's true.

"Thank you."

She means it, too.

"Although, actually I think the whole thing is worth seeing Sam be neat for once."
