[hr]

Persephone lay in the bed unmoving, both out of a fear of her wounds and what it might mean if she found she could not feel something. The nurse scrambled to and fro, changing tubes and IV bags with the kind of speed and accuracy one might imagine in a hospital drama movie. Persephone really didn't know what half of the stuff the nurse was doing, or what it actually meant, but it helped keep her mind off the stitches everywhere until Hera got back. 

Right on cue, Hera slid through the doorway, almost like somebody who ran out of ideas had to think of something last minute. 

[color=orange]"What are you looking at Persephone? Didn't you see the ring on that woman's finger?"[/color]
Hera chuckled, dropping into a seat with a mischievous grin and a bag full of candies. Persephone turned red, stammering as Hera laughed. The nurse grinned, waving her hand dismissively as she left the two alone. 

[color=lavender]"Y-you know I, I'm not."[/color]

[color=Orange]"Pfft, I'm kidding, how are you feeling?"[/color]

[color=lavender]"Yes, I'm sure just water, I'm waiting for somebody."[/color]
The waitress gave Persephone a sympathetic grin, utterly convinced that the girl was being stood up by her boyfriend, after all she had been sitting there in the corner table for a good hour now, looking completely dejected. Meanwhile outside the diner Huginn and Muninn were perched atop the building, glaring with malice at Hera standing on the other side of the street across from the diner. Sometimes it was terrifying how much the two birds understood about the world around them, and how good of a memory they had. 

Hera sat on the side of the road, re-reading the text she sent to Persephone. She changed their meeting place last minute out of sheer panic. She had no idea how Persephone would react, and was honestly terrified that something might have changed between them. She ran her fingers through her hair, sighing before standing up and moving quietly across the street in the direction of the diner. The Ravens shuffled on their perch as Hera approached the building, squawking quietly to each-other as if whispering. They almost seemed to grin as they glided over to a lamp-post to get a better view of the action as the girls saw each-other.

Hera shuffled up to the booth and sat across from Persephone, who was pretending as if she had not noticed her sit down and was doing a poor job of it overall.

[color=orange]"H-hey there M&M, long time no see?"[/color]
[color=lavender]"..."[/color] [color=orange]"Please say something... you know I wouldn't leave without a reason..."[/color] [color=lavender]"...Yes, but that's the thing that's bugging me... every time I get angry at you about it, I devolve into some wretched beast drooling over a jewel that was stolen from them. I know you aren't property but the only thing that comes to mind is...."[/color] [color=orange]"How I'm yours?"[/color] Hera chuckled, a small hopeful grin beginning to grow as she continued to speak. [color=orange]"I would have liked to see that, you doing a Smeagol impression while holding my picture."[/color] Persephone turned away, trying to hide her grin from Hera, trying not to encourage her, yet another thing she was failing at. [color=lavender]"That's unfair, I'm supposed to be angry at you, not laughing."[/color] Hera's smile widened as she slid out of her seat and into the spot right next to Persephone, wrapping her arms around the girl trying not to smile. [color=orange]"It's too late! I saw your smile and now you aren't allowed to be angry!"[/color] Persephone rolled her eyes, looking through the window as if she were looking for her Ravens as she leaned into the hug. [color=Lavender]"Whatever, you still have to explain yourself little Miss Carmen Sandiego."[/color]
