"Especially if pretty mortals expect me not to kiss them. That's their mistake." He's looking into her eyes, his own narrowing slightly. There's something about this one.

Wait, no, come back, you're sexy—

His brows furrowed at that, head tilting slightly. "I am a son of Aphrodite, I think I know a thing or two about beauty when I see it...what's your name?"

"Penelope, like the Ithacan queen," he repeated, a small smile on his face, "she was beautiful too."

Good. >:(

...ugh, fine.

He shrugged, gaze drifting a moment as he spoke. "I could tell you about it, perhaps. Though a lot of the story is borne from my own tragedy..."
