"You could be anyone."
He stops. Doesn't reply immediately.
The pause highlights his features, his stature, his masculine poise.
"Even you?"
Straight to the point, no messing. Is that a bad move? Too soon? Shot your bolt? Or bravery?
Time will tell.
I make my next move.
Silence, 4,3,2,
"Who's your favourite Greek God?"
I see his mind whirring, picking choices, filtering, the reels roll and click into place.
There's a barely perceptible shift in his nimbus.
We share the same smile.

I like your measured pace in writing. Good, real dialogue and prose which doesn't make me choke.
Bacchus of course - btw.
You know, I keep coming back here, looking for something... I don't know... Something. And I never understand what the hell you're writing about.
Good job.

What an odd and mysterious conversation. Well, Zeus gets laid all of the time... Athena just sounds hot (Actually I had a mountain bike I named Athena)...But I've always been fond of Poseidon, even when he goes by Neptune, but Poseidon just sounds so much better. Say it loud and proud: POSEIDON!
