[b][color=#c45302]"You mean a pantheon of frat boys and sluts?"[/color][/b] Archer grinned.  Yue had been pulling on her cigarette and nearly choked, hunched over in grimace, alternating between fits of coughing and laughter.  [b][color=#c45302]"As for advice from the one 'healthy' relationship in our clan of deviants and weirdos: I'm not sure what you would get from the God of [Darkness] and [Fear], and the Goddess of [Chaos] and [Death] constitutes 'normal' for a lasting relationship... but I'll pass your inquiry along,"[/color][/b] he snickered while Yue recovered, and held out his cigarette case to Raudd.

[b][color=#CE2B95]"It's a [i]secret[/i] blend.  He won't tell me what it is,"[/color][/b] Yue fit in between giggles.  [b][color=#CE2B95]"I think he's just afraid he won't be my sole supplier anymore."[/color][/b]

[b][color=#c45302]"You were the one that said you wanted to quit smoking,"[/color][/b] Archer grinned.  [b][color=#c45302]"Kindle makes them for me."[/color][/b]

[b][color=#CE2B95]"Who's Kindle?  I don't recognize that name from any of the mythology I learned,"[/color][/b] Yue asked with a note of curiosity.

[b][color=#c45302]"Ah.  Yes.  Kindle is Hecate's fox familiar,"[/color][/b] explained archer, raising an eyebrow at Yue's expression of rapt attention.  Clearly he wasn't going to be able to brush this inquiry off now that the can of worms had been opened.  [b][color=#c45302]"How do I explain this?  Hecate is kind of unique in the pantheon in that she... adopts... [i]things[/i], and has accumulated a large number of 'companions' from multiple cultures..."[/color][/b] Yue gasped, her eyes widening with amusement and wonder.

[b][color=#CE2B95]"IS SHE A YOKAI??  YOU GUYS ADOPTED A KITSUNE??"[/color][/b]

[b][color=#c45302]"Amongst other things,"[/color][/b] laughed Archer.
