To Cora's credit, observed Athena, the young woman was dealing quite well with meeting a goddess for the first time.  Athena realized that she hadn't adjusted her 'aura' much and that she might be perceived as 'too real' to the girl....  There, she hoped that the adjustment would help, otherwise the poor mortal was going to be incredibly uncomfortable and tongue-tied.<br/>
<br/>
The goddess smiled at Cora's praise of the tapestry.  She hadn't spent so much time on a tapestry for hundreds and hundreds of years.  It was good to know that her skills had not atrophied much, if at all.  "Thank you, Cora," Athena answered.<br/>
<br/>
Almost invisibly, but not quite, Gany brought over to the the small table next to the loom a fresh bottle of Debina, uncorked it and poured two glasses of the bright, crisp, semi-sparkling white wine.<br/>
<br/>
Athena gracefully lifted a first wine glass and gave it to Cora.  Then she took the second glass for herself.  The goddess playfully 'clinked' her glass with Cora's, turned her gaze to the tapestry and proposed a toast, "To Life, To Love and To Laughter!"  She gently swirled the wine in the glass, brought it to her nose and inhaled the aroma before taking a measured sip.  Then watched as Cora still seemed to be in something of a state of disbelief about where she was and who she was with.  The girl took a sip of the wine and Athena believed that she liked it.<br/>
<br/>
The liquid fruit might put Cora at ease and loosen her tongue.  What was the saying...?  'There is truth in wine'.  That was it.<br/>
<br/>
Turning back to Cora and gesturing to the work on the loom, she said to the girl, "Tell me, Cora, what do you see in the tapestry?  What are the relationships between the images?  How does it make you feel?"

</blockquote>Cora gingerly reach out a hand to take the glass of wine from Athena. She wasn't much of a drinker. But a little wine given to her by a beautiful woman was hard to pass up.  When Athena clinked there classes. It made her smile.  Athena was so confident and charming. She was making her feel a little more comfortable.  As she took a sip, the bubbles tickled her nose.  Bringing a giggle out of her." she she used her hand to rub her nose a little as she kept watching Athena.<br/><br/>Her smiled grew when she gave a toast to her work. She shrugged and lift her glass to join her. But when she asked her opinion on her tapestry,  she was starting to feel like she was put on the spot. "Umm... well." She said softly before walking over to the loom to take the whole tapestry. " I see... harmony... Love between two people, the joy that everyone is feeling. Its almost like looking at a real moment frozen in time..." She reached out her free hand delicately. towards the tapestry, "It's so vivid. It feels like you can just step into it and become part of the moment." She stopped her hand just an inch from the Athena's work before retracting it.<br/><br/>She looked back towards Athena. getting lost in her eyes once again. "You are truly gifted. You must have worked hard to get your skill to this level. It... actually motivates me to try my pest in the field I'm pursuing. ...So thank you for that." Then she lift her glass. "And for the wine too. Its pretty good." She took another sip before giving her a small smile.
