It had seemed they had jinxed themselves about Artemis.
It wasn't but maybe a singe moon cycle before she found her twin brother perusing through the forest with the Undine, hiding behind some foliage to watch the two together.
They were laughing about something they had been talking about, the Undine playfully shoving the arm of God that didn't do much at all to budge him. A playful quirk of a smile as she narrowed pretty eyes at him, only for one of his hands to come to her shoulder and shove her back. She stumbled, falling back onto the forest floor to her rear. She let out a growl, leaning to one side on a propped arm to rub the sore cheek of her backwide. Seemed she'd landed on a rock. "Methusai..." She murmured, grumbling at him as she slowly got to her feet.
"Perhaps you should consider the fact that coming at me will do you no good. You'll only fall on your gloutos every time." Apollo sneered at her, bringing a middle finger to his thumb and flicking the tip of her nose, of which the Undine snapped her teeth at it.
"Go blow a mule, you insufferable koprophage." She snapped back at him, the fiery water nymph's bite was far worse than her bark but her and Apollo had gotten past beating on each other at this point. Other than the occasional playful shove or swat.
It was then that Artemis stepped out of the foliage, daggers springing from her eyes towards the Undine. She was looking back and forth between the two, as if trying to figure out what the hell was going on between them. "Is there where you've been, brother" Consorting with an Undine"!" She seemed outraged, a vein beside her temple nearly throbbing as she approached the two like a slinking cat wanting to swat them both down.
Apollo's head snapped in his sister's direction, gaze narrowing as she edged closer to the two. "It's none of your business who I consort with, Artemis." He nearly spat acid at her as the word was mimicked back to her. Acantha looked between the two with raised brows, amusement etched on her face watching the God and Goddess twins, wondering if she were going to see them throwing fists at each other. Or possibly arrows. It was Greece after all.
"It is when you know consorting with the abominations are forbidden, Apollo!" She barked at him, taking the final step to be in his face. She was only an inch or two shorter than her brother, but her ferocity made her taller. "You know how they survive, you imbecile. Of anyone I would expect my twin to understand that." She turned her head and spat in Acantha's direction, who merely looked down at the forest floor where the lob landed. Her brows furrowed at the insult and that's when she stepped in, malice and irritation boiling to the surface.
"Listen Huntress, whatever you think is going on between Apollo and I.." Surprise splashed across her face as his hand came out to her chest, pushing her back. Is that son of a kopros standing up for me" When in Hades did this start happening" The words were written all over her face as she glared at the blonde wavy locks at the back of his head from where he'd shoved her behind him, as well as finishing her sentence for her. "Is exactly what you think it is." Um...no it's not.. Her gaze narrowed even further, a faint growl tearing from between her teeth.
Artemis looked stunned at him, eyes wide as she took a step back. She shook her head, as if she couldn't believe it. Her expression upon him was laced with calling him an imbecile and saying he'd betrayed her. "If you wish to lay with an Undine and become her next means of immortality, don't come crawling back to me when you end up in the River." Was she telling him that bedding the Undine, he would fall prey and then become unfaithful, to be killed by her" Perhaps.
His top lip lifted as he snarled at Artemis, nodding his head toward the treeline. "Then mayhaps you should leave, sister before you become witness to something you don't desire to." Artemis looked betrayed and disgusted, Apollo looked malicious and the Undine was fuming behind his back. I am not your little play nymph, you horse's ass!
When Artemis had left, the Undine turned on him, lifting a curled hand and punching him in the shoulder. "Are you out of your goblet! We aren't bedding together, asshole!" She growled at him, her features laced with anger and she looked like she wanted to sock him in the jaw. The taunting smile from the God wasn't helping, "No, but she doesn't know that. Maybe it'll teach her not to make so many assumptions." He snickered, completely calm about the whole ordeal. He even had the audacity to turn around and continue on in the direction him and the nymph had been heading.
She trotted after him, still glaring but mulling things over. "You're thinking of pulling one over on her, aren't you?" Her arms had lifted in the midst of her catching up to him, crossing over her busty chest. Azure blues slid over to her, giving a single nod. That's when her smile broke out, grinning before she lifted her leg to kick him in the backside. "I still want to scratch up that pretty face of yours for that."
He glanced down at her leg, rolling his eyes at the ass-kick and lifted one hand to shove her down to her rear again. Vanity was something he fell prone to. He said nothing, just kept walking as she grumbled, rubbing her backside cheek with her hand and glaring after him. "Methusaiiii." She hissed, crinkling her nose.
