When the goddess had suggested going to see Harmodious about getting a place of their own the elf had become very nervous. After all, wasn't he the god of all gods? She remembered seeing him at the ceremony to rebuild the sky, she had witnessed the power he was capable of. That made the host uncomfortable. Plus she still getting used to talking to others other than to confirm or receive orders. And it didn't help that the goddess was feeling quite pleasant about the idea, excited even.
Oh relax, he wont do anything to you! Besides, I'm with you, although I can't talk, I can help you with what you say. The goddess, although only recently implanted in her host, was excited to see her Lord.
Sorry, my lady. Two responded, deferring to her. She was, after all, a goddess. She would do what she was told.
With Honovi out running errands, gathering things they might need to make the place a home Two had ventured to the more open area of the Pantheon. Perhaps he would be about? Grey eyes looked around meekly, secretly hoping that he would not be about and they could go.
Stop that.

((( You’ll want to edit out the “There she remembered seeing a throne.”
There’s a description and map on the front page of the shop that reads:
The home of the gods is now neither shop, nor throne hall, but an open and peaceful place with soaring columns and statues amid moss gardens and plentiful fruit trees. There are raised platforms, but no throne seat, as well as a recessed sitting area with an orators walk over it to act as a forum for those who would have words for the few or masses. ))
While weariness wore on, there were those among his retinue that were willing, when Pillar and Silence were indisposed on business of their own, to aid him in changing scenery. It was an odd impulse for a god. He could be many places at once, or all of them, and was always so in some sense of being. The taking on a singular perspective of a physical body was altogether different and strange in many ways just like this. Single experience made want of others more varied.
He reposed leaning against the outer basin wall of the south round fountain, listening to the endless changeable rhythms of the water. The floor was seat enough, with view of columns and statuary amid the creeping ivy and flutters of small, colourful wings.

There, see?
It was Valli that spotted the God first, Two was much more content to just stare around without actually looking. She considerably nervous about the whole idea, but Valli had reassured her that there would be no problems. With a mental nudge from the goddess, the host elf made her way to where Harmodious was.
My Lord.
Two repeated the words then swept into a graceful bow, all prompted by Valli, who was watching from the inside, happy to see Creation once more.

Bowing to someone seated on the floor was certainly a new twist on the showing of respect. Still, there was no ill grace in him for their effort, and Creation smiled and inclined his head respectfully up at the woman. She cut a fine figure. The piercing was an unusual touch of non-conformity made conformity in a way. “Your sacrifice is a high honor, Two. Gladdened is the heart that the valiant still walk among the few, willing to see the resurrection of glory. “
“Are you well? Abundantern Sædis, for what can I do for one who is abundance? One who is as many colors and kinds as I ? Provide to the provider?”

It was possibly the first compliment for doing something that Two had received in her entire life so she wasn't quite sure how to respond. Thankfully she had Valli helping her out, so she managed to mumble a burst of appreciation to Creation.
My Lord I am grateful to be on my way back into the living world. I long to feel the grass underneath my feet, the flowers in my hands. Their joining was still relatively new and the goddess had not yet gained the ability to sense through her host, other than sight. Valli could not wait to feel her plants again.
We come to you with the humble request of quarters of our own. Though my host and I have gratefully been accommodated by Love and his, space of our own would be much appreciated.
Two repeated what Plant's reply and request, this time however, she had more confidence in speaking, after all, they weren't her words, they were her goddess's, and she did not want to disappoint.

"As simple as that? Your trepidation was unfounded, Two. "
"Though perhaps Desiderio will be sad to see you provided for...he is one that keeps many companies."
" But seek the door of living vines, thick and twined together solid. The space beyond will shape to your will, that you may set it as you like it, at least for a while. It's shape will become permanent after some days have passed. "

Though his words were meant to comfort, the elf host was still nervous about being in His presence and was once again glad to have Valli prompting her with things to say.
My host's background required her to defer to any whose stature was higher than hers, so you may understand her feelings of anxiety. Though some things are so far ingrained they are unable to be thwarted, this is one I hope we will combat.
Two repeated the words to Harmodious, speaking clearly but with blank expression, wondering to herself how Valli was going to help her with this.
Thank you, Lord, for your assistance. We look forward to seeking out our new home. And it may surprise you to know that Rio has not made any attempts towards my host, as strange as it may seem. Perhaps he knew she was intended for another.
Two spoke the goddess' words, finding the thought of Rio making advances on her very strange.

"Combat?"
"Unique and futile, sorrow though it be in the end, to try to better the host without when the end is the same. Whether she is bettered or not, what matters in the end is whether or not the god inside is. Cruel, but then, what isn't when one thing must consume another. "
"Whether she ends in a state like a person instead of a slave only serves your conscience, Valli. It is the same as talking about her when she is your mouth...and she offering no resilience of her own. No input. No feelings except inadequacy. A fine slave, indeed. What could] it be in you that you are lacking, to want from such a source. Revealing.
"And yet where spirit is served for wholeness may be spirit preserved in others. Gain need not be counted in coin alone, but in faith as well. I wish you both well in your growth together."

This time Two spoke alone. "Valli wants to try and help me... remember who I was." It was soft, and she did not look him directly in the eye, rather everywhere around him. She wasn't sure he would understand, and although he was who he was, she didn't really feel like explaining it either, after all, what was the point if she might not be around for much longer?
Two tried not to think too much over what he said, that she did not matter in the end. It was hard to think about, something she chose to ignore, but him speaking about it made her feel weak once more, just when she was starting to feel stronger.
I just want you to remember who you were. If it would make you feel better we can leave, after all, he has given us directions to our new quarters, which is what we sought in the first place.
"Thank you," Two said once more, without prompting from her goddess. "if it is okay with you, we must be off."
"If you need Valli, or me, you can find us in our new home." She added as an afterthought.
