Well, that was an extremely peculiar comment coming from Hera. It was one Zeus would have expected from any number of his more regular lovers from the past. Perhaps even from Hera herself in the earlier years of their union but now... it seemed so...
Odd was the only way to really describe it.
Zeus wouldn't deny there was a certain allure to it. The little spark of something different that didn't have to revolve around just a power play. What was prompting her request for sweetness, though? It wasn't really something generally suited to either of their lifestyles for more than an idle moment. Was there something Hera found lacking?
That question, of course, raised others. If this was something she was looking for, what else was there? Was there an underlying suggestion that they return to the beginning when there was such things between them? As if he was courting her attentions? Or newly married?
It was very perplexing.
He didn't voice all those questions he had. Instead, he smiled as if the challenge of having to maintain a level of... sweetness, was appealing. “I will have to be on my best behavior then, won't I?”
