Re: Ares, Aphrodite, OPEN
"You must be terribly disappointed. I could always call after her to bring her back," Ares rather helpfully suggested. He managed to keep an impressively straight face, too, until he grew bored and resumed smirking as usual. There was no question that Ares enjoyed it when the women in his life fought in front of him. It did wonders for his ego.
As if his ego wasn't healthy all on its own.
There was something undeniably amusing about the way Aphrodite kissed him back. She hadn't expected it. Ares preferred when she wasn't expecting it. If he wasn't being asked to live up to anyone's standards but his own, there was a far better chance that he might border on something somewhat pleasant. Relatively, anyway. A relatively pleasant kiss was quite a feat in public. Ares moved his hand to the more respectful small of her back, pressing a lazy kiss to the corner of Dite's mouth.
"A kissing contest, of course," he said, knowing that the punctuation of a third kiss would likely ruin the previous two. He kissed her all the same. "Loser has to tell Zeus we crashed his car into the ocean. It's a shame you only count once, or I'd stay a bit longer. You know Eris and her rules."
