WHO: Demeter & Absinthe
WHEN: December 22nd
WHERE: La Fee Verte
WHAT: After her run in with Poseidon, Demeter goes to one of the only people she can.
WARNINGS Mentions of violence, possibly mentions of sexual assault
Demeter's encounter with her brother had left her shaken, and ashamed of the fact that he could still instill such fear in her. She was an Olympian, a God, and yet Poseidon made her into nothing more than a child. It was pathetic and worthless and Demeter felt pathetic and worthless because of it, but more than that she felt completely and utterly alone. She didn't have anyone she could turn to for comfort and that was what she desperately needed.
She'd remained on the floor where he'd left her for a long time, shaking with tears and fright and pain. There was blood on the inside of her mouth from his blows and she could still feel his grip on her arms, the bruises that would bloom.
When Demeter finally dragged herself from the floor she left the apartment without putting anything warmer on. Outside was freezing and it bit right through to Demeter's bones, but eventually she found herself at the bar owned by Absinthe, still open and with customers within. Her gazed moved over them all without even seeing them, looking instead for the goddess.

Abby was busy entertaining guests, but when Demeter walked in she turned around only to frown. "Ma belle!" She rose and moved towards Demeter with a quick pace, setting an arm around her and dragging her to a couch where she almost forced a glass in the other woman's hands.
"Who did this to you? I will crush them under my heel." She'd had a lot of fun showing Zeus who was truly in charge. She would do the same to whomever had hurt her precious darling.
Abby never did well when people hurt hers. "here beautiful have a drink, it will ease the pain." with comforting hands she combed her fingers through Demeter's hair.

The shivering was easy to blame on the cold and Demeter drank down the alcohol handed to her, knowing that would at least warm her up somewhat. She didn't think it would truly ease any pain, however.
"The who is- No, unimportant," Demeter said with a shake of her head, licking her split lip. "I needed someone." It felt terrible to admit.

She continued to fuss, running her fingers along Demeter's hair and then her lips. "It is not unimportant. You've been hurt and I don't like this. Was it this Zeus man again? I can put him in another coma. Or I can ask maman for a favor." she smiled then and curled closer, "I am here for you. Always."

"Not Zeus," Demeter simply said and then, lacking any sort of emotional strength, she turned and curled herself against Absinthe who was warm and kind and there for her. "I've been such a fool."

"Shh ma belle." She curled her arms around Demeter, gentle hands running along the womans hair. "We are all fools at times, non? But let me help a little. You are hurt." Smiling she pressed a kiss ontop of Demeter's head. Absinthe was not always good at comfort but she liked the touch and being close. "Let's get you warm hm? Come up to my apartment and out of these dirty clothes. I'm sure I have some things that will fit you."

"Thank you," Demeter said with a nod. She was not one right now to deny any form of comfort. In that moment she'd likely have followed the goddess of absinthe anywhere at all. "I'm half-frozen."

She chuckled, already forgetting the promise to hurt whoever had harmed her Demeter. "I know." Gently she tugged the other goddess up and onto the stairs. Absinthe's rooms were a representation of the ones she'd had ages past. She settled Demeter on her bed and walked to her closet, taking out something warm, with a lot of fur. "Here. Dress."

Demeter took the dress with a small smile of thanks and drew off the light dress she wore. She had no shyness when it came to her body nor discomfort in the other woman seeing it now, and she put on what she had been given, already feeling warmer. "Thank you for your graciousness, Absinthe."

Absinthe far from minded the skin and sat behind Demeter, wrapping her arms around the woman's waist and settling her head on her shoulder. "Of course. I love you, and I am good to those I love. Besides I am here for those who need me."

"And for that I am glad," Demeter said, resting her head against Absinthe's, grateful for the warmth and comfort. "The company of a friend is what I need on this night more than anything else."

Smiling she curled closer, her lips kissing Demeter's forehead. "And I am your friend and here for you." Smiling her fingers found skin to brush over. "I can take it away. Make you forget."

"No," Demeter said with a shake of her head, her voice firm. (She worried that if she wasn't firm on this point, Absinthe would do it anyway, and the New God was far more powerful than she was.) "I have no wish to forget. It is important that I do not forget."

To that she pouted and whined, falling on her bed beside the older goddess, "but I want to help. I want to do something." She looked up at Demeter. "I want to be helpful. I can do this."

"It is old family squabbles, and nothing more," Demeter told her, leaning over to stroke Absinthe's cheek. "There is nothing more to be done for it, but your concern means much to me."

She still pouted, because she was spoiled and used to getting her way, but leaned into the touch. "You Greeks are so fussy. I still want to know. And of course I'm concerned." She sighed, "I want to help more."

There seemed little harm is saying more so Demeter did. "My brother has lost his wife. He and I... we do not get on and he came to my home tonight to threaten and blame me. It was... unpleasant." Demeter was fine with understating it for now.

She looked up to Demeter and bit her lip, "well he's rude and I don't like rude people. If he's lost his wife then it's obviously his fault. Shouldn't blame you for that. Are you sure you don't want him to be a little ill? No one will have to know you asked me to do this? I know I was gloating with Zeus but honestly he did deserve that."

It was such a tempting offer and for a moment the harvest goddess considered it and enjoyed very much the idea of Poseidon writhing in a bed somewhere. Finally she gave Absinthe a hesitant smile. "No, I shouldn't. Although that isn't to say that I didn't enjoy what you did to Zeus - because I did." She smirked a little. "And Poseidon is far more deserving of it."
