Faras threw up her hands in frustration. "Well maybe you can explain it to me because I don't understand at all! I do my job, thank you very much!" She turned to him with a smug smile. "Like last night. I did a very good job making all those people fawn over one another!"
The rain had begun to fall in a soft shower, almost dew like; and the sky was beginning to brighten a pale pink with the comming sun.

Raslan just shook his head at her. "I would explain it to you but it is quite clear that you're hopeless and it would be a waste of my breath." He pushed his hair out of his eyes and looked down at her, suddenly thoughtful. "Zeus should have made you ugly while you're mortal, then maybe you'd get over your lust obbsession."

Faras felt herself blush at his words and gave a sly smile. "You think I'm pretty then? And I do not have a lust obsession!" She said, wagging her finger at him. "I make people feel natural, human emotions. There's nothing wrong with that at all."
She watched him a moment in silence. "What are you doing up here anyway if you don't live here? You look like a little lost puppy!" She said leaning forward and patting his cheek. "Why don't you do something with Sabine and I tonight?" She threw up her hands in surrunder. "I swear I won't be up to my games. It's not like I could really do anything anyway, I don't have my equipment. It'a just be a few people having a good time...if an orgy may break out then it has nothing to do with me." She said with a michevious wink before sobering. "I was kidding of course. So what do you think? You look like you haven't had fun in a while and let me tell you I know what fun is. Before I was the cupid I was an nymph of Joy, you know. And let me tell you you seem to be severely lacking in that department."

"It was the highest place I could find." he explained. "And thanks, but no thanks. I already have plans tonight. I don't need to have any fun, expecially anything that is your idea of fun. I definatly don't need any of that." he told her lightly, trying to keep rudeness out of his tone.

Faras resisted the
urge to scream in frustration. He wasn't exactly making this easy. "Say, that hotel you're staying at, what's it called? I got a girlfriend who is pretty high class and a germaphobic who is in the city right now and I think she'd love me for life if I recommended the hotel you're staying at as a place for her to crash too."

Raslan rolled his eyes and told her the name of the hotel. He could sense her frustration with him but didn't understand it. "So how did you of all people get assigned the role of replacement cupid?"

Faras smiled at him with her cocky grin. She didn't want to tell him that he was actually having a conversation with her because she was afraid that he would immediatly stop. For some reason she was very glad that he was taking the time to actually talk to her instead of brushing her off like he had done at the Dungeon.
It was because of her mission; nothing else...
"Well...like I said before I was once a nymph of Joy, and spent alot of time down here on the mortal realm bringing happiness to people..." What she didn't admit was that she was a nymph of Sexual Joy. He didn't need to know that. "I ended up meeting Psyche one night and we just hit it off. She was a seer, so she knew what I was from the very start." She looked up at the sky with a slight smile, the first rays of the sun dancing over the buildings and cascading her in light. "She was the best friend I'd ever had. I told her everything." She turned to him with a bright smile. "You know how you can just meet someone..and all you have to do is look at them and you can tell that they're going to impact your life forever? It was just like that." She drifted off a bit before shrugging and hopping off of the buildings edge to lean over it and look down at the streets.
"Well...one night we bumped into Eros; who was the present Cupid, at a night club. And Eros took one look at her, and Psyche one look at him and I guess they fell instantly in love. So to my great amazement a few weeks later Eros came to me and told me that he was giving up his godhead to live on the mortal realm with her; and that he wanted me to take over his role as Cupid. And that's it..."

Raslan knew all too well the feeling of meeting someone and knowing they were going to impact your life. He also knew the immense pain of losing that person in a brutal way. "Why you though? What made him pick you of all people?" That was the part that confused him, what did Eros see in her that made him think she could fulfill the roles of cupid...there was more to love then just lust.

Faras looked offended. "Why not me dammit! I can do the job just as well as anyone else...okay, granted I'm banished right now but that's all going to change once I prove that I am worthy to hold the title! I know what I'm doing here buddy." Suddenly anger filled her. Anger over the whole situation and she turned to him with a glare and bit out angerly. "What the hell good is love anyway. Look how much horror is in the world because of that one stupid human emotion. How many wars have started for that same cause? I mean look at freaking Helen and Paris! Romeo and Julie! Echo and Narsisis! What the hell did love get them but agony. And being cursed into the form of a flower...but that's just weird." She drew off with a frown. "ANWAY! My point is that I think the got it all wrong. Lust is a Cupid's true role. And I'm going to prove that to Ole Thunder Butt somehow."

Raslan almost laughed. "You clearly don't know what you're doing. Lust is not cupid true role, humans manage lust just fine on thier own without any help from you. Love is harder. You picked the worst example of love possible. Romeo and Juliet were thirteen and fourteen year old kids who didn't actually know what love was and just got together to piss of thier parents. And then they killed themselves because they were idiots. Helen and Paris were also idiots that triggered the war but were not the sole cause of it. Narcissus was a vain bastard who didn't believe in love to begin with and Echo was better off without him." Raslan felt very defensive of love.

Faras rolled her eyes at his words. "Bit defensive aren't we? Ah, I still think I'm not doing anything wrong. Besides; those may have been bad examples of love, but all love stories are bad examples. Tell me one story throughout history that has a happy ending with love. Bet you won't find one. I'm telling you, I'm on to something here."

"You go ahead and think that. I'll come and visit you sixty years from now when you're still mortal." he told her, standing up and walked back toward the staircase. He was done with this conversation.

Faras shook her small fist up at him as he walked away. "Don't bother! Cause I'll be up on ole mout. Olympus drinking my ambrosia and eating cotton candy dammit..Mmm cotton candy.." She shook her head to dislodge the thought of seeking out a store to buy some and hurried after him. "You sure you don't want to crash with Sabine and I tonight? Just for one night? Huh? We could roast marshmellows and hold hands and sing Kum-Bi-Ah. It will be great fun! What do you say?"

He stopped walking and turned to look at her. "You're just making my hotel room look more and more appealing. I am positive I don't want to crash with you and Sabine. I am also positive that you won't be returning to Olympus any time soon." he said and started walking against, down the stairs and out onto the sidewalk.

Faras stood there pouting prettily; though at the moment the only thing she felt was frustration. Why the hell was he so hard to deal with! How was she ever going to get back to Olympus if he continued having that stubborn attitude!
And she had thought Sabine would be the hard one to sway. Looks like she would be a peach compared to him.
She realized then that she hadn't gotten his name and cried out. "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" She muttered, marching down the stairs and back into Sabine's appartment. Too tired and pissed off to look for food she scanned the apartment with disdane before finally flopping onto the couch and falling into a deep sleep.
