"Wonderful," Demeter smiled and returned, "And I you. For we have not been able to have much conversation and I do not like being strangers with other ladies of the court. Our sex must band together in ways, since we are considered the fairer, but weaker sex." Demeter didn't necessarily believe that, but she did know that it was a man's world they lived in and she had no need to dominate over men. Neither god nor mortal. Starting to walk she touched her fingers over the leaves of a palm.
"So, have you heard anything particularly interesting in court?" she questioned casually but with a slight grin hiding at the edge of her lips, "Rumors, while mostly false, do hold a bit of truth and digging that out is a favorite pastime of mine."
