Wash Your Cares Away

"Yes, yes, we'll blame your dirty mind, since mine is clearly as pure as freshly fallen snow," she purred in response, giving her an incredulous look. "Must I remind you that the bed broke first while I was making you gasp and squeal with nothing more than my fingertips and tongue?" It was not a competition, or at least it shouldn't be. They both had their moments where the other was reduced to nothing more than wanton ladies seeking the pleasures of the flesh.

"Do you think I do not know the difference between a castle, palace, and a little tiny shack, my dear? I have been to Hades once before, so I am very much familiar with your dwelling." It had been a brief visit, purely on business in order to witness a continued truce between the domains of Helheim and Hades. Honestly, Amora thought it was solely because Hela wanted to see this new male god of the dead. She recalled that Zinda did not leave his side the entire time the death goddess was there. Amora also remembered their decorating style. Kaileena did indeed have some work set before her. "If you need help, please let me know. For you, I don't think I would be above physical labor."

Amora laughed, thinking of how much torment these roving packs of children could give little Chibi. IN truth, the enchantress didn't think of them being too terribly bad. Curious, yes, but for the most part they all behaved around her. But then again, a few had seen her fight the odd giant, so perhaps they knew to respect her. "I hope he is fast on those little legs of his. Otherwise we may find him covered in bows and hair clips. Were your sister... Lyta, still that precious age of eight, he would be doomed." She then snuggled closer, resting her eyes.

Upon hearing the word nun, Amora was suddenly wearing the distinct habit and veil, but there was no doubt that a woman of the cloth had never worn something that tight, revealing, or had that much cleavage showing. "Have any sins to confess, my child?" she asked innocently, hand lightly trailing over Kai's body.

"Hela was the reason I was in Hades," she sighed. "You killing Hades was not a problem for her. She completely understands about survival of the fittest and warriors dying in battle. However, you had the power and then you left on your decade long trail ride, as it were. Circe gave Steve the power of Thanatos, the personification of Death. Hela wasn't happy about that and started to make rumblings of war. The reason was never actually disclosed, but I think she saw it as an opportunity to expand her realm or took something as an insult. I had to step in and help broker a truce, watching as Circe explained that this was not an attempt at a coup or any sort of deception. Steve made a good ruler of Hades, but I'm sure she'll be happy to have the proper god of the dead back in place." Amora hoped that Hela would make no further attempts to provoke trouble, and of course she hoped the same for Kai.

"Both children and animals are crafty in their ways. I think it would be something interesting to watch. Quite funny too." Amora knew all about Lyta's infatuation with cats. Freyja had a chariot drawn by large tabbies and, when Lyta and her mother were visiting to discuss certain items, the young goddess saw them and was delighted. It had been a good thing too, for it brought Freyja out of the stupor she had been in since Odin's death. She and Lyta spent the afternoon together. "She still likes her kittens, but I believe the child has a more reasonable head on her shoulders now." If she still had a feline army, Amora wasn't aware of it.

"You can't wait to be hit in the face by lightning again? Or can you not wait to have sex with a tall blonde? I could understand it being one of those two, but not he destroying her bedroom. Which we will seriously need to fix up before you leave, my little sex goddess," Amora said, looking about her room. She sighed, wondering if things should just be trashed and for her to redesign it all entirely. Despite the changes to her life over the past ten years, her bedroom had remained the same; full of furs and silks, decadence and shiny baubles given to her by various attempting suitors. Thankfully none of those gifts had been smashed. She had taken such precautions since the beginning, enchanting every one to never break if they fell or were hit. "Do you think I should redecorate or keep it as it was?"

"Of course it would end rather fast. One of you would either be dead or she would end up as your slave," she stated matter of factly, frowning a bit as she did. "But a word to the wise? Do not attempt war with her. I think the only reason Hela did such a thing to begin with was due to Aldrif's absence. She is back. Hela will likely not want trouble, but if it did occur, the All Mother would strike hard and absolute. She is my liege and Hela is under her domain, so I would likely be sent to have words with you," Amora explained. "I would not want to fight you, but I would not be allowed to go easy on you, Kaileena. Aldrif helped get me back to Asgard when I was weak. I owe her my life and I will not forswear her."

As for the children of Olympus and Lyta, Amora just smiled as she sat up. "A mess is always possible. Those two things go hand in hand. And Lyta… her army has actually dwindled to a manageable number. After knowing Freyja and becoming friends, she would give her gifts of kittens on a regular basis. I've heard that they have become excellent micros, not that I'm aware of Asgard having a rodent problem. She still has her tigers and one or two house cats though."

Amora shrugged. "There are more than a few individuals that have odd fetishes. You would not believe how many men have wished to have me hit them or like muscled women. It's odd and unnerves me a bit. I wonder if Sif has ever had such problem. Do you think if I asked she would answer truthfully?" Now that she had changed roles over the course of ten years, Amora did have some questions and realizations to tell Sif, but she wanted no part of it if Sif decided to be a bitch about things, literal or not. "New start? What would you have me change in here?" She was curious to hear what Kaileena had in mind. Not that she would redecorate now, but Amora had just never done post sex small talk before. More often than not her lovers would either be asleep or they would be out the door, having done what they came to accomplish.

"I assumed that you were not the type who started things for fun. I do remember what lengths your sister had to go to in order for your blood rage to start. You are not an inherently violent woman, you simply protect those that you love. That is a good trait to have. Your parents raised you well." Honestly, Amora hoped that they would never need to fight. Was she worried about Kai beating her without breaking a sweat? No, for though the girl likely knew her style when it came to fighting with magic, Amora had learned other techniques with Mjolnir and the other powers she gained upon becoming the new Thor. There were also her Jotunn abilities. She had never used then in conjunction with Mjolnir, but she assumed it could be done if needed.

"Some are and some aren't. We have some rather large cats on Asgard, as well. And my apologies for not being clearly. When I said that she still had her tigers, I meant Lyta. The cats that were given to Freyja were not large, wild ones, just normal domestic sizes. I did not mean to cause confusion."

The fact that Kaileena knew about such things and had a discussion regarding the topic with Purgatori made Amora give her a questioning look. "May I ask how such a discussion came up? I did not think you and her traveled the same circles together." She found it an odd thing to do and know, despite Kaileena being a goddess of death. As for how she acted towards Sif, Amora immediately got defensive. "I act civil towards her. It is only when she begins the trouble that I speak in order to defend myself. I was very happy that she came back and I have no more ill will towards her." She hated how it seemed that no one believed her intentions. She likely should have never brought the topic up as it had soured her mood. "I think I might leave my room as it is. I don't think I want to redecorate at the moment," she told Kaileena softly, rolling over and hugging a nearby pillow. That was actually an improvement on Amora's part. In the past, had a lover enraged her, she would have simply thrown them out, banishing them from her quarters. So, for her to be the one to move away, it was a definite change in her personality.

After a bit of silence, the enchantress looked back over at her bedmate. "I can not fully say whether it is good or bad. You need to weigh the pros and cons for yourself and decide on it. What would have happened had you not acted? Do you know?" She wasn't judging Kaileena on her decision, she was just curious to know what she thought. "I believe I read in a book somewhere that it is said you can be good or you can be nice, but you can not be both. Now why they did not include those who are neither, because that is how I have been much in my life, I do not know. But I do know that you are good and that is better than being nice."

"Oh, a box of stuff. Say no more." Kaileena didn't need to explain anything as Amora had no interest in learning anything more about Purgatori's bedroom habits. She respected that woman and did not wish to get on her bad side, particularly since she had seen her on the battlefield. She rarely left much of her enemies behind, and if she did, it was often in multiple pieces.

As for Sif? "I haven't seen her since she has been back. I have not been avoiding her, but neither have I sought her out. I assumed that she would make an appearance in her own time. The last I saw of her was when you all returned and she changed into a wolf. I reacted to that defensively because, naturally, I did not know of that particular trait. I would have thought to see her on a regular basis, but I'm hesitant to seek her out due to our past. She might think that I intend to insult or tease her further and I do not want that." At Kaileena's soft words, Amora looked back at her, reaching over to stroke a cheek. She then smiled softly. "In ten years, you go from calling me a blue whore and wanting to kill me to apologizing and asking how you can make it up to me. Perhaps I should bed my enemies more often. It might improve my relation with Sif," she joked. "But, in truth, you have done nothing wrong. I simply need a thicker skin to deal with old insults." Shifting to lay on her back, Amora pulled Kaileena closer. "I am glad that neither of us are psychic. I don't think it would truly improve anything. And it would ruin surprises."

At Kaileena's explanation, Amora had to smile. "Oh, I see. Yes, that is a horrible outcome for you all if you had never been able to meet a version of me. But, I think you could have. Circe and I travel the same circles. Yes, we've preferred to keep distance between each other, at least in the past, but we do know each. So, it is possible that we would have met at some point. But that is not me saying that you should have let Ares marry her," Amora reassured her. "You might have ended up different and been of no interest to me. Another silly warrior girl or another goddess of magic. You might not have had that spark that intrigued myself in the first place. She chuckled at Kaileena's answer. "Yes, you are most certainly different and I do enjoy you fucking me."
