Alone at Home (or is he?)
Argo had woken late, with snoring that probably would have been loud enough to wake the dead if there had been any on the property. Fortunately, his snoring caused no zombies, but he did seem to find himself alone in the Champion's headquarters when he did wake. After a shower, he dressed and headed into the kitchen.

Corey had left a note stating there was food in the fridge for him, with instructions--patient, careful, and precise instructions--on how to reheat it.

As he let that reheat, he checked the external security camera. Mitzy, Cindy, Candy, Mandy, Daphne (Mmm... Daphne), Sheryl, Carol, Bessie, Alice, Caitlin, Caitlynn, Cait Lynn, Mary Anne, Ginger... It was a light crowd today.

And yet... debauchery was not in his heart today. Oh, certainly, he had partaken in it from time to time in recent history, but he was not as sure his heart was as in it as it once was.

His food finished heating, he headed into the living room to turn on the TV. Clash of the Titans was in the DVD player still, and he decided an additional viewing would be acceptable fair.

	A great love of life, yes. But no great love in his life. Odd. The thought seems sadder than before. "That... would be a great loss," he reflected. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It will happen eventually, though. Perhaps not with a poof. Will you always be young as you are now, Argo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A great loss, regardless," Argo told her. "I have a little aging left to do. By about the time I am thirty, though, I shall cease to age." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"So when I'm a little old lady and you come visit me in the old folks' home you can still get away with chasing nurses!" She shook her head. "I'm perhaps a little envious. Of everything you have the ability and option to do and experience. You probably don't ever get colds even."

No wonder he moves through human girls as though they're breaths of air, she thought and the thought made her sad, settling as an ache in the center of her gut. When the entirety of time and space is yours, little else matters. She both envied that and wished that she mattered, a thought that caught her off guard.

"You are a lucky, lucky dude."

"Aye, illness and godhood are largely incompatible. But I promise, when I visit, I shall keep my attentions focused upon thee. To do otherwise would be most unfair."

So unlike the other women in his life. Easily impressed by his form and easily seduced into a night of passion. Harmony was leaps and bounds ahead of them. Time and space were his to be had and enjoyed, but he seldom stopped to reflect fully on those who did not enjoy such benefits. And yet...

"Such has often been said. And often do I believe it so."

She laughed.

"I'll be old and ugly, Argo. My vision will be bad and my skin thin and faded. I might not even be all that coherent. It will be very understandable if I'm not your focus. There are prettier girls, even now. I expect it to remain so when I'm old. Though if you chose to wear a tunic and be without pants when you visit, I'd be grateful."

At that moment she remembered that she was more or less without pants at the moment, her shorts hidden by her robe. And she blushed, pulling things tighter to her.

"Did you have too bad of a hangover the other morning?"

Argo nodded. "Aye. The wines of Olympus are much stronger than those of the mortal realm. I rather overindulged..."

And could not, truthfully, remember most of the events of that past night. It troubled him. His recall for encounters was, in spite of their number, quite close to flawless. That one had escaped his recollection...

"You showed great constitution there, even with as little as you had."

	"If it matters, my body may have been okay but my memories are nonexistent." Except for a few brief flashes there and again, all of them...exquisite. Which made her decision to stop when they were awake all the more regrettable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My own memories are rather... compromised as well," Argo admitted. "Quite the pity," he said, quietly, examining something interesting on the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-09 01:34 am UTC (link)
	She looked at him, even though he was looking at a dust speck on the floor. "Why is it a pity?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo summoned his courage and forced himself to look up. "It is something I should have liked to remember." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I...I'm..." She found herself without words exactly and it was her turn to look away. "Maybe I was just forgettable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-08-09 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Argo moved closer to her, hesitantly. "Never. My memories are few... but those I do recall are pleasurable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-09 02:01 am UTC (link)
	"What do you recall, Argo?" She shifted a bit, facing him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I... remember there was much kissing, and roaming hands..." Argo began. "It becomes fuzzier after that..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-09 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"The kissing was really good," Harmony admitted, smiling a bit. "I remember a bit more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh?" he asked. "What do you remember, Harmony?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I remember..." her cheeks turned crimson again and her voice slipped to a whisper. "I remember your weight on me, your hand on my thigh..." She bit her lower lip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her words brought hazy memories back to Argo's mind. "Aye... I remember now. You were... quite passionate." And yet... there was something about it all that did not come easily to memory, that he could not be sure of. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-09 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"So were you." She smiled. "You were very intense and passionate. It was intense." She remembered sounds. Moans, little gasps. Her eyes fluttered a bit, recalling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amazingly, Argo found himself coloring just a little. This was a new conversation for him. "Aye. It was. I... I remember your body, soft and wonderful..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-09 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"...your hands just seemed to devour my body...and I could look into your eyes." Tentatively, she brushed her hand across his cheek. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-08-09 02:48 am UTC (link)
	"I remember your eyes," Argo said, softly, leaning in closer. His own hands found her shoulders. "Your own hands were... quite busy, as I recall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I enjoyed touching you, especially like that..." She moved closer at well, so close that she could feel his warmth again, the hand on his cheek moving to his chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-08-09 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Argo moved his own hand up to caress her cheek. Scant centimeters separated them now. "I enjoyed it as well..." His lips moved closer... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
