Ares could only shrug as Calista suggested he use more common courtesey and manners.  "I am... what I am.  Its how I smell conflict."  He laughed a little as she suggested this was all just from her and Hephaestus getting 'busy'.  "Are you trying to tell me... you and my brother are as volatile as you and I are?"  He shrugged, but it seem indisputable that he seemed amused by the prospect.<br/><br/>Comming up behind her, Ares could only watch her from behind as she took a long draught of wine.  He had always admired every inch of her, always a lot more passionately and perhaps possessively than Hephaestus himself did.  "I wanted to say I accept your offer.  And perhaps we can negotiate terms for my last time to be spent with you.  Knowing you would probably not desire to spend such time in my domain... it is brutal and almost as stark as Hephaestus' compound.  I have secured Dionysis' palace.  His authority is over water and comfort... so I thought you might feel comfortable there."  As he spoke Ares stepped up closer to her... so close if she backed up any she would run directly into his front side.
