With a devilish smile forming on her perfect face she speaks.
“Ah~ smart as always.”
She got up to meet Cirrus’s gaze, they both stood 5’7 (170 cm). The 4 years on the island Cirrus grew considerably, he had thought it was due to his skills [Anthos Adonis] and [Skiés Voí̱theia] having played part of it but even Ouranos who was the first one to give a Falna didn’t know as these skills were as far as anyone was concerned truly unique and it could have hidden effects. He is checking his height every week or so to find he is still growing.
“So what is your plan? Lady Freya.”
Her devilish grin grew slightly wider as she opened her mouth.
“I wanted to ask you to join my Familia.”
Cirrus knew she wanted something but always pushed away the thought of it being him, after all who would think a goddess of such renown and beauty would want a kid?
Cirrus could feel Nox getting angry, but he held up his hand to say to her it's fine.
“Is there anything in particular? Aside from my battle potential I would bring to effectively hold Orario in the palms of your hands? Or maybes it was how you were able to easily learn who I am when I was not wearing my mask?”
She began to walked around Cirrus moving her hands around his shoulders and whispered into his ears.
“It was your soul, your beautiful radiant soul♥” she said in a low sultry voice as she continued to walked in a circle around Cirrus as her words were laced with affection. “Your soul is something truly special, it’s like a cornucopia of colors! A pure white.” She said glancing at Nox before returning her attention to Cirrus. “A valiant gold, a bold red that tapers off into a soft glow of blue and pink like that of twilight. I could see it flicker as you move through the city’s back streets popping up in places like hidden gems. That is why I.” She stops in front of him and glares at his eyes. “Want.” She leans into his ear. “You♥.”
Hearing her say that made two things pop into his mind. One was how much of a boost of confidence he had that a goddess like her wanted him, a male or anyone for that matter would have a confidence of a white Wall Street stockbroker doing cocaine, a confidence that would let one try to conquer the world.
The second thing that popped up was Ai.
Cirrus had enough time to sort out his feelings, if he didn’t know what the characters on his charms were then he could at least learn flower language and connecting it with pass actions he put it together.
He decided to see where it further goes with her. As cringey as he admits his heart is telling him Ai.
Cirrus smiled as he took a step back.
“I very apricate your offer Lady Freya but I must decline.”
Her eyes and perfect face wavered for a second.
“Oh? May I know why?”
“This wanting? How would you describe it?”
Cirrus then began to pace around Freya as she did to him.
“How to describe it? Hmm…I didn’t think too much on it but…I would say it was an intense love to have you as one of my children.” She said flat out.
“An intense love…tell me is it love? Or…” Cirrus stops pacing and stands next to Freya. “Is it infatuation?”
Freya stood there thinking on what to respond.
“Define them in your words?”
Cirrus walked to be behind her.

“Love is knowing the good and bad of someone and still loving them all the same.” he then walked in front of her. “And infatuation is when you first see someone that you are attracted to and immediately feel there is a connection based on that.”
“I see, so you think I mistaken infatuation with love?”
“Yes. It’s something that most gods of love have in common, they are always so insightful about everyone else but themselves.”
“Hmmm….” She sat back down and began to think. “Can I ask you a question?”
“I’m all ears.”
“How would one go about finding love as a goddess of love?” she asked.
“…If I were you I would look for one who is not affected by your charm, that way you may know them as who they are, their love is genuine and in turn you will have to put in effort to claim their heart.”
A smile grew on her face as she gets back up and looks closely into Cirrus’s eyes.
“…Thank you for your advice, I hope we can at least be amicable?”
“Of course, Lady Freya.” Cirrus said with a gentle smile.
“Ah~ how I envy the Sunny Saint, to think she would see that kind smile every morning.” She said before turning to Ottar.
“…” Cirrus retained his gentle smile, but his eyes had a slight edge to them.
“Worry not, I won’t do anything.” She said as she made it to the door. “You may have declined to be my Odr but…”
“I’m sure he’s out there somewhere, as a goddess I’m sure waiting a few years or so wouldn’t be that hard.”
She slightly raised an eyebrow before smirking.
“Fufu, make sure you make her happy or else I might come in and snatch her from you for rejecting a goddess love.”
“I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”
Freya leaves with Ottar right behind her and Cirrus sits back down.
“So…you like Ai huh!” Nox said poking him.
“Quit teasing…I’m sure you already knew; your flaps are rather easy to hear considering the city only has 2 owls and a hawk”
“Sorry about that but I wanted to see your rather stoic-ishness face to soften up a bit.”
“And…has it?”
“Hmmm maybe a bit more work is needed but it’s getting there.” She said with a big smile.
They woke Lili up when it was time to go back on stage, the rest of the banquet went off without a hitch.
