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.

"I've...heard of you." It wasn't a lie--a Loki, a Thor, and now an Aphrodite. The former two weren't threatening, hopefully the trend would follow. And if Loki taught him anything about dealing with deities, humor was a decent approach. His lips quirked up as he offered her a towel as the fluid made clear trails across her skin, as if amused to prove her point.

"Perhaps I don't know what fun is, then. I'm programmed to serve."

As her manicured hand approached, Connor stilled to let it. He could sense the pressure and the warmth of Aphrodite's touch, certainly enough to act out the reaction a human would have. When her fingers brushed his chin, his LED flashed--it wasn't pleasure, not quite, but there was something that demanded this woman be the center of his focus that was intensified. The interference with his software should have been a cause to pause and self-correct, but he didn't.

"You'd find me boring in that regard," he replied with a soft tone of apology, even if it was having some kind of effect.

That was a clear invitation as any, and maybe it was the rut he'd hit with the sheer monotony but he almost responded. With the distance of her touch, however, clarity returned--some, anyway. It also came in the form of Hank's voice screaming at him from somewhere in his auditory processing. No explanation for that one.

"I'll...think about it." He straightened his loose collar, gathering his composure.

"My apologies." Connor tilted his head ever so slightly, rising to stand. "But it wasn't a 'no.'"

At her words, Connor felt himself relax, surreal as it all was. Getting by without rousing conflict was the priority, but finding himself caught up in the whims of a resident was...

"I'm relieved you enjoyed the drink. That was my first time." He adjusted his sleeves, cleaning his fingers of the faint residue of citrus and sugar. "Please send for me via journal if you'd like another."
