Not Pink Enough (OTA)

She liked the pink of the hotel a lot. If she had to guess, she'd say that whoever built the place kept her aesthetics in mind. Still, there were some places were pink was lacking and on a hot day like today, the pool was one of those places. Clad in her bikini, she was lounging on a pink shell floaty with sunglasses on and an umbrella drink in her hand. She casually touched the water and the water instantly turned pink like she had dumped a bunch of pink food colouring into the water.

Aphrodite let out a relaxing sigh. "Much better!" Smiling, she sipped her drink.

“That kids got nothing to worry about.” Drink in hand and Aphrodite was only too willing to indulge that particular flight of fancy. Talk about dangerous. He closed an eye, nodding his chin towards her—though he had to be careful not to stare too long. She had a mesmerizing effect not unlike Bo.

“I gotta say, god’s and goddesses galore and I’ve yet to meet one I couldn’t drink with. Call me a believer.”

"Athena can be a bore. And Hera? Pfft." She rolled her eyes. "You'd have more fun drinking with a rock." That much was beyond true, though Aphrodite was also biased.

"Dionysus is fun and Ares, if you can put up with all his bicep flexing."

Tony rolled his body in a stretch like a cat in the sun. He felt both younger and older than he was in that moment, as goddesses so often made him feel.

"Lucky enough to bring any with you?"

"Not a one." She was mostly okay with that, though, as she looked at the man with the thing on his chest, she still thought of her husband. "Apparently one of my husband's kids is here. And you're a good reminder of him too. If I didn't know better, I'd have assumed you were a demigod too, with your love of machines and building and whatnot."

"I've been getting attached to 'cyborg' but I'll take 'demigod,'" He said as he peered sideways at her. "Who's the anklebiter?"

Aphrodite wasn't quite sure what 'cyborg' thing, but she figured it was a machine thing.

"Some teenage boy named Leo. He says he met a different version of me in his world. He was smart enough to say I'm the prettier version." She winked at Tony. "I'm surprised you two don't know each other. Hephaestus' kids are notoriously good with machines." Irritatingly so at times.

He would've gotten along with my boy, was the immediate reply that came to mind. Tony smiled distantly.

"He old enough to drink?" Tony lifted his glass. "Speaking of, second round?"

"Where I'm from, everyone's old enough to drink." Aphrodite didn't really keep track of mortal laws. Her eyes moved to the empty glass in her hand, then back to him. A soft smile spread across her lips. "Sure. This time it's on me." She wiggled her fingers and the glasses were full again of the same liquid. She let out a soft giggle, pleased with herself.
