Jacqueline smiled, "That's cool." she said quietly, her eyes narrowing at her words. "I never thought Aphrodite was stupid. I just thought she was smart and creative." Jacqueline said with a shrug. "She's outwitted many in the books, so if the stories are true. She must be very smart." she added, smiling at Aphid. "Aww. I wish you didn't have to go. Both of you. I've never had such nice people come into my little shop." Jacqueline said qith a smile. She walked over and picked a small orb from a box, holding it up to the light. She smiled as blue streaks appeared on it, wirling around, faster and faster, until the whole ball took on a dark blue color. "Do you know anyone who might own this?" she asked quietly. "I found it, too. But in my hometown" she said, her voice thick with a French accent.

Aphid cocked her head to the side slightly. "Hmm...no goddess that I know of has an orb like that. Maybe it's a gods. I don't know." Aphid's face took on a puzzled look. "If you don't mind, maybe I could take it back to Mount Olympus next time I visit my father." She bit her lip, hoping this wasn't too much to ask. Jacqueline had been very kind to her, kinder than most people had ever been to her.

Jacqueline nodded. "I don't like to keep things that might belong to someone." she said, handing the orb to Aphid. "It's very...special." she said, frowning. "It talks, and I'm led to belive a person might be trapped inside." Jacqueline added, cocking her head as well. "You know, by magic."

Aphid tucked the orb into her bag. "That very well may be." she said, smiling at Jacqueline. "Would you like to come over? We could discuss who it might belong to." she smiled. Her house was an open invitation to anyone who wanted to visit.

"W...wow. I'd love to." Jacqueline said with a smile, knowing that her own house wasn't much to come home to. Espesially because of her sister.

Chris watched them converse in silence. They seemed to be enjoying their conversation. Chris finally decided it would be best if she just left. Quiet, but swift, she made her way out the door and headed down the street.

Aphid turned her head to ask Chris if she wanted to come along, but she'd disappeared. Aphid shrugged, then turned her attention back to Jacqueline. She smiled brightly. "Shall we get going, then?"

Jacqueline, also puzzled by Chris's sudden dissapearence, nodded. "Alright, that'd be wonderful. Hoild on." she smiled and walked over to the small counter. She opened a drawer and took out a ring of small keys, pulling one off the ring. She made sure Aphid was outside and followed, closing and locking the door behind her. Jacqueline made sure Aphid wasn't looking, and then said a few words in another laungage, and a light blue glow glimmered around the store. It faded and Jacqueline turned, "Alright, let's get going." she said, a smile making it's way to her face.

Aphid smiled, and started walking in the direction of her home. "Now, my house isn't much, especially considering a goddess lives there. It's all Elle can do to keep me from redecorating the place." She grinned at Jacqueline.

Jacqueline grinned back. "How would you do that?" she asked quietly, ignoring the comment about it not being much. she knew she would be comfortable no matter what it was like.

"How would I redecorate? Well...I'd probably make it a lot more Greek, get back to my roots." She smiled, still walking. "And..there would be a lot more rooms. A lot more."

Jacqueline giggled, "I could picture that." she said, her mind once again wandering to books. "I bet any house designed by the goddess of beauty would be lovely." she complimented, smiling at her friend,

Aphid blushed slightly. "Thanks.." she said, turning a corner. "Well, here we are! Home sweet home!" She'd stopped in front of a one story farmhouse. "Like I said, it's not mu--" A blur of brown and black flashed by Aphid, making her dizzy. "Sorry, Aphid, coming through!" Two very different voices, one that sounded like it's owner was used to pain, the other like a hyper child, called back to her in unison.

"You're welcome." Jacqueline said, looking up at the farmhouse. "this looks very cozy" she said, grinning. "woah! what was that?" she cried as the blur rushed past.

Aphid sighed. "Just my cousin, Elle, and our friend Leah. I warn you, Leah hates company and is a grouch sometimes."
