Afternoon Ice Cream Outing
If there was anything Alisa knew about Argo, it was that he was a loyal, trustworthy friend... and he had an incredible with chocolate ice cream. She needed someone to talk to, and he was there. With a charming smile, Alisa had managed to get Argo to come with her to an ice cream parlor in the French Quarter... one that did not have a bunch of kids running about to drive them nuts. She ordered him his favorite chocolate ice cream, and she got herself a cup of vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.

Alisa was still dressed in her work clothes, a pair of black army boots, blue, baggy cargo pants, and a black tank top with a bra underneath. She seemed to have a variation of the same outfit, so she would never get bored. It was a whole new thing to have a wardrobe of her own, and she planned on taking advantage of that! She just hoped Nick did not mind that she took an early break, but she needed someone to talk to... other than him.

"T'anks for comin' wit' me, Argo. Ah jus'... well... ah sorta needed a good friend to talk to." Alisa smiled, putting her spoon into her ice cream and then taking a bit of it. She never really had ice cream until she and Ennie lived on their own. It was a big treat for her, though she was not much of a sweet tooth. "Dis place 'as some o' de best ice cream in de quarter! T'ink you'll like it!"

	"Oh?" She blinked. "Ways as in dat mortals never wrote about? Okay... you gotta spill de beans, Argo! Ah wanna know about dis!" Curiosity killed the cat, but had yet to kill Alisa LeBeau. "Many find some romance in de tales o' de Gods, some find lust, an' others find dem to be jerks who used mortals for pawns an' pleasure... so ah mus' know!" (Reply to this)(Thread)

"Any of this which did require deception," Argo told Alisa. "Taking the form of lost lovers was a favorite of his. ...But there was a time..."

He began, "T'was a long time ago, even by Olympian reckoning, but Zeus didst desire a mortal woman, but was expressly forbidden by Hera from using any of his old tricks to seduce her. So Zeus didst think on this greatly, until he didst come up with a plan..."

	"A plan?" She had a raised eyebrow as she scooted her chair closer to Argo to listen. If there was anything she loved, it was a good story. Especially if it had historical or moral value. "An' dat sounds rotten to pose as lost lovers..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"T'was often done. Zeus would assume the form of a husband at war or lost to the sea or other fates and lay with his wife. But the sons produced dist become the heroes of the old world."

He went on. "But aye, Zeus didst craft a plan. He spirited the woman to the most isolated spot in the world and beset terrible creatures upon her. But then he didst appear and set the creatures away. She did not recognize him as Zeus, but didst feel instantly drawn to her savior."

	"Sooo... if a woman got rescued by a hero in dat time, dey was expected to jus' ... jus' give demselves to de hero?" She still had a raised eyebrow. "Ah see why you didn' approve o' yah Grandpere's errr... actions. Ah'm almost afraid to ask what Hera did when she found out. No doubt de mortal woman paid dearly for sumt'ing dat wasn' her fault..."

	"T'was often the case they would fall in love with their rescuers. And tradition didst play a powerful force." He shook his head. "Her vengeance was much delayed. The woman bore Zeus a child, but of what happened to that child, we know not, save only that Hera didst nearly wipe all memory of either from the mortal world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still, dat kinda sad in a way. Makes me feel like an ant or sumt'ing to de Gods." She sighed, toying with her hair for a little bit. " 'least you ain' like dem, Argo... all vengeful an' power hungry. Ah mean, sure... you got your lusts for fine women an' good food. But you hardly anyt'ing like dem! to which, ah'm grateful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-04-19 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Tis to mine own gratefulness as well," Argo agreed. "I tryest not to repeat the mistakes of the generations past." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-04-19 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, dat's 'ow any bein' learns, Argo!" She smiled, still sitting right next to him and her shoulder resting against his. "If we don' learn from our mistakes, we will tend to repeat dem. An' if you can' learn from your mistakes... you a lemur or sumt'ing. Ah dunno." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo chuckled merrily at that. "Well said, Alisa, well said. Thou hast much wisdom and whimsy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well if ah didn', ah t'ink ah'd be very borin', Argo." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and got up to throw out her trash. She kept the cup her spoon and the cup she used for her ice cream, since she could always wash them out and reuse them. Alisa then returned, sitting back at Argo's side as he had yet to finish his ice cream. "Besides, you like me as ah am."

	Argo continued to work on polishing off his ice cream, savoring some of the last bits. "Indeed I do, Alisa," he agreed. "Thou art most pleasant company and doth offer a refreshing outlook upon life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aww... you compliment me anymore, ah'll be as pink as de strawberry ice cream in de store!" Alisa smirked, folding her arms over her chest as she looked over at Argo. "C'mon, ah'm non DAT great..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo grinned mirthfully. "And modest to boot," he added, playfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-04-21 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, if you don' wan' me modest ah could always t'row off mah clothes an' jump in your bed wit' a bunch o' rose petals." Alisa chuckled, much like a school girl as she gave Argo a big ol' smile. She appeared to finally be working on "flirting". (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's not easy to take Argo by surprise. He's seen much in his twenty-five years of life, things that few mortals have. Nevertheless, he actually felt himself flush just a bit. "I...do not think that will be necessary," he replied, smiling. "Though I doth appreciate the thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-04-21 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh c'mon Argo!" She giggled more. "Don' you like de t'ought o' it? me in a thin white sheet, surrounded by rose petals on your bed, holdin' a 2 quart tub o' chocolate ice cream wit' dat come hither look!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-04-21 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I..." Argo stuttered. "I doth... that would be..." He stopped, the finally went on. "Thou hast me at a loss for words," he said finally, but amused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-04-21 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Usually it's de other way around!" Alisa smiled, playfully sticking her tongue out at him. "You always 'ave me for a loss o' words, Argo. Well, you did on Valentine's Day, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo smirked at that. "Then the student hath become the master," he intoned with mock seriousness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-04-22 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	"T'ank you, Master Argo. You are most wise! it was only natural ah followed in your footsteps!" Alisa returned the smirk and the mock seriousness as she sat by his side. "Now if only ah could come off as less... well... less awkward around others. Den ah would be set!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo polished off the last of his ice cream and licked the remainder off the spoon. "Thou willist, I art certain. All things come in their time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-04-22 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	She watched him lick that spoon, and it made her cheeks flush some, as she folded her arms over her chest. "Ah suppose... but so far, ah'm on a good track. Umm... ah guess dis means we gotta go back to de Champions now, eh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We doth not have to," Argo told her. "If thou hast else thou wouldst wish to do today, I wouldst happily accompany thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-04-22 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Well if ah said "you", would dat make me a horrible woman?" She smirked. If she was gonna spend more time with Argo, she was going to tease the hell out of him. Only fair that the handsome God be left speechless and with his heart pounding, just as he had done for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
