[faectitious]

That sounds really yummy!

[ragingnature]

Okay. I'll have some ready for you when you visit.

[ Which obviously doesn't mean come right now, but to definitely come by sometime today. ]

[faectitious]

Alright. I'll be over later in the day, if that works?

[ragingnature]

That's perfect. Just come around to the side door, the front one doesn't actually work.

[faectitious]

It doesn't work? Well, okay. I'll be by in a few hours.

_{[And true to her word Airy comes by Persephone's place, pushing the doorbell in with her foot as she hovers in place. Thanks to the chilly temperature she's bundled up in a jacket with equally small matching mittens and a hat. Hopefully she wouldn't be waiting outside too long.]}

[ragingnature]

[ The sound of the doorbell is met with the sound of a barking dog, frantic and excited. Soon after the door is opened. Persephone blinks, confused when she isn't met with someone standing at roughly her level. Cerberus notices Airy first and jumps up, teeth snapping at her.

Persephone is quick to react, arms wrapping around the hound's neck as she pulls him back. ]

Stop that. [ Her gaze turns up to Airy. ] Sorry, um... Wow, you're a lot smaller than I expected.

[faectitious]

_{[Airy's certainly not expecting a dog of any sort to suddenly leap at her and she's fluttering frantically out of reach when he lunges toward her. Frazzled she looks between the dog and Persephone, little fists at either side of her.]}

I-I get that a lot... _{[That she's small.]} He wants to eat me!

[ragingnature]

Oh, um, he won't. Promise. [ She shoves Cerberus down the hall toward the garden. He can just sit his butt out there while the two of them go into the kitchen. ]

You must be chilly, go ahead and head inside. [ She motions her head toward the second set of doors behind her that leads into the kitchen. ]

[faectitious]

Alright then...

_{[She better promise...the last thing Airy wanted to do was to have to use magic to bind the creature in place if she didn't have to. Nodding cautiously she hurries herself inside, relieved that it's far warmer already. Off her gloves come as she peels one off after the other, her hat following suit as she waits for Persephone to join her.]}

[ragingnature]

[ Persephone ensures Cerberus is settled into the garden with a few of his toys before making sure the side door is shut and follows Airy into the kitchen. ]

He shouldn't bother you while you're here. [ She says, trying to be reassuring. ]

Let's get you some cake, yeah? I apologize for the size, if I'd known you, um, smaller I'd have made miniatures.

[faectitious]

_{[Setting her mittens and hat down she takes off her coat, revealing a simple white dress. The coat too gets folded and set down as she comes to stand atop the table. She's small, about a foot and a half tall, and sure, the cake will be quite big comparatively, but that just means more cake, right? No problem at all. She's even come prepared! Out of her equally small side bag she pulls a cutlery set that's been sized just for her, courtesy of Jacob.]}

Oh that's all right. I don't mind.

_{[Cake is cake.]}

[ragingnature]

[ Persephone sets the cake on the table and cuts a slice for Airy. Her little cutlery set is adorable, but Persephone tries not to make a big deal of it. She's sure she gets enough of that kind of thing from people. ]

Do you like tea? I have a few different types to choose from.

[faectitious]

_{[There are two reactions Airy gets from people - either they find her adorable and harmless thanks to her size or they are wary of her because of what she is. Thankfully it's been the former lately.]}

Oh I do, yes. I'm not picky...but could I have honey and milk in it?

_{[While she may not be exactly like the elemental fae who lived in the depths of Luxendarc's forests she was still a fairy. They did enjoy their dairy and honey, perhaps a bit too much.]}

[ragingnature]

Milk and honey with it... [ She trails off with a hum as she goes to sort through the cabinet. She's not kidding when she says she has quite the variety. After a few moments, she decides to just go with a classic black tea. Something that won't fight with the flavors of the cake. ]

I suppose you're in luck that I keep bees. I always have honey ready. At least, now she does. [ Prior to moving out of the apartments, she didn't have anywhere to keep her bees. ]

[faectitious]

You keep bees?

_{[That gets an involuntary flutter out of Airy's wings as she looks up at Persephone, genuinely curious. She wasn't expecting that.]}

Is it difficult?

[ragingnature]

Yup. Among other things.

[ She flashes a smile as she goes about preparing the tea. ]

Not really, then again I am the Goddess of Spring and can create bees. They're almost like an extension of myself.

[faectitious]

The Goddess of Spring?

_{[That gets Airy to straighten, having seated herself back on her heels. Gods are nothing new to her, being the spawn of the God of Destruction herself. How curious.]}

I-I see...I didn't realize I was in the presence of a Goddess.

_{[Airy may be a menace and a destroyer of worlds, but she knows how to respect her (assumed) superiors.]}

[ragingnature]

Yup.

[ Persephone is paying more attention to preparing tea than Airy's body language, otherwise, she might have laughed. ]

It's not really a big deal, especially here. This place has no use for me beyond the purpose of us all being here.

[faectitious]

_{[Well at least she seems humble...Airy appreciates that much at least.]}

I suppose we're all subject to the same fate, huh?

[ragingnature]

[ It probably helps that her mother raised her in a way that could only be described as a god trying to raise a mortal. That is to say, she was never really given the chance to be a true goddess. Always told to hide the true extent of her abilities and do things her mother's way. ]

Indeed, we are. [ She sighs.

A few moments later she returns to the table with a tray laden with all they need for tea. ]

Do you happen to have a small cup for yourself?

[faectitious]

Ah, I don't, at least not with me...but I've been using those small glasses people pour alcohol into.

_{[She means a shot glass, even if that won't exactly be the best thing to drink hot tea out of.]}

[ragingnature]

Oh! I have some shot glasses. [ She sets everything down and goes to locate one. ]

I'll have to find some cups and whatnot in your size to keep around for visits.

[ She smiles as she returns and fills the glass with tea for Airy. Not too full since she still has milk and honey to add to it. Once it's prepared she sets it next to Airy's plate. ]

Please be careful since it's hot.

[faectitious]

I will, thank you!

_{[She leans over to blow at the glass, not moving to grab it just yet. She'll let it cool a bit for now. The main reason she came here was for the cake so that's got her attention more than anything.]}

Say, how long have you been here for exactly?

[ragingnature]

[ Now that her guest is taken care of, Persephone settles down with a slice and some tea for herself. ]

A little over a year, yourself?

[faectitious]

More than half a year now...closer to a full one.

_{[There's a small sigh out of her as she reaches with her little fork to chip off a bit of the cake.]}

I suppose I can't complain, seeing as I've nowhere else to go rather than this dimension, but I'm surprised I've been here for as long as I have.
