It was possible that Loki was a lying, thieving, murderer. Maybe even likely. But that didn’t make much difference to Lethe. Being a denizen of the Underworld and a member of her particular family made her a little hard to shock, or put off. After all, her favorite sister was the personification of Hate; her river siblings were Woe and Pain and Fire; among her other siblings were Deceit, Doom, Death, the Erinyes, the Keres, and a slew of others that other people might find less than palatable. Everybody had a job that needed to be done – who was she to judge, as long as she and hers weren’t the ones being fucked with?
She knew he was a trickster – and she was pretty sure her suspicions of him being a ladies’ man were true, too. His smirk and confession about being infamous brought out another slight smile from her before she sipped at her drink again.
”Yeah, well. Not all of us have the glory jobs like Love and Youth and Justice or whatever.” Lethe shrugged. It didn’t surprise her that he didn’t know who she was – it seemed like her name was everywhere in literature, and even some more obscure places in film, but she wasn’t Pantheon 101 like this Nord was. Her gaze didn’t break from his either, her own green eyes staying with him over her glass and his as they each took their drinks.
“I’m definitely Greek,” she nodded, her hair shifting a little again, the curls waving just slightly. There was still a Louisiana lilt to her voice, but it subsided slightly as she talked about her origins. “I’m the River and Goddess of Forgetfulness and Oblivion.”
With that, she raised her glass to him and took another sip.
“One of those Underworlders you may have heard about.” Lethe waggled long fingers in his general direction, indicating her and her family’s inherent spookiness.
Lethe didn’t comment on meeting friends or making them. The fact was, Lethe didn’t have many friends – most of her interactions involved, again, either mortals or her family. The few she did have were well loved, but she wasn’t the social butterfly her mother or some of her siblings were. So she didn’t know much about that.
