Prometheus makes it a point to be a regular visitor of Asvera, once his former Asgardian charges relocate there. He does nothing ostentatious during his visits, merely assists the villagers with tasks as needed, or takes on child-sitting duty for any beleaguered caretakers.

It isn't a big village, so he's bound to run into Harley sooner or later. This particular afternoon, he's hanging out by the docks, repairing some fishing nets and humming to himself a little ditty to himself while he works, making himself available to anyone who'd like to sit and keep him company.

"She does. Right now, she is trying to keep out of sight." Due to Joker being around. But Harley doesn't want to weigh Prometheus with the details on that story.

"She would definitely come for more time in the greenhouse."

"I like how people are just so accepting of each other in the Nexus." Harley smiles. It is important to her to feel accepted.

"You are married?" She smiles. "That is sweet. That you feel that way."

[liverfree]

"Mmm." A shy friend, perhaps? Or wary of the inherent dangers of the Nexus. "The greenhouse it is, then. And then the pottery studio, if she's interested."

He returns her smile and nods. "It's nothing I've experienced before. I suppose when you have so many different interconnected realities, you really don't have much of a choice."

"Yes," he replies, although he sounds a little uncertain about that fact. "Hesione is... well, she's a free spirit. Literally. She's an ocean nymph, and as such spends most of her time in the sea. She wasn't as keen to spend all her time around humans, so we had an arrangement to each do our own thing and then meet up every so often."

The only trouble is, it's been a long while since Prometheus last saw her. Since anyone last saw her. "She isn't interested in mortal love, either. We raised a son together, and he was mortal. Watching him grow old and die was difficult for both of us."

Harley really sympathizes with Prometheus when he speaks about Hesione. "Well if there is anyway I can honor her, let me know. Okay?" She grins at him.

There are not a lot of Gods/ Spirits that Harley will actually honor. Hazel is one of the few. And she definitely respects Loki in his role. She feels that adding Hesione is something that she can do.

[liverfree]

It's not often that a human surprises Prometheus, but the offer has him looking up at her, net in his hands temporarily forgotten. People so rarely honor ocean nymphs. Hesione's name exists in story, but only as a small footnote. The Titan worries sometimes if that's the reason for her absence. That as the humans forget, so does she.

"You can do something kind for the ocean," he tells her. "And you can include her name in your prayers, if that's something you do."

[sweetcandygirl]

"I have started to practice on praying more often. Loki named me as his Valkyrie, and from another conversation I had with someone else... there is a lot of responsibilities that I want to learn. And start to undertake." She takes the role very seriously. It is more than just a pet name for her.

[liverfree]

Loki must be serious about Harley, Prometheus thinks to himself, if he is giving her such a nickname. "Depending on the deity, a genuine prayer can make all the difference. Thank you for including my wife in them."

[sweetcandygirl]

"That is the great thing about the Nexus. Meeting people who get that whole aspect of things. And getting opportunities to improve myself. How and when I choose." Harley grins.

"I am glad I found my way to the Nexus."

[liverfree]

"Very few people believe in the gods anymore, where I'm from," Prometheus says. "I suppose people in the Nexus don't have much of a choice. I appreciate it, though." He smiles at Harley. "How did you meet Loki? Did you know he was a god when you did?"

[sweetcandygirl]

"Well... the day I met Loki he sort of made a grand appearance in the Nexus, introducing himself as Thor's younger brother. And I had met Thor first, so I had an inkling."

"He immediately caught my interest." Harley grins.

[liverfree]

Prometheus can easily imagine the sort of entrance that Loki made. His smile turns fond at the thought of it. "Far be it from him to announce himself in such a way," he remarks in amusement. "You must have made an impression on him, too."

[sweetcandygirl]

"I was his kind of crazy. Still am." Harley grins. She considers her chaotic nature to be one of her best advantages.

"I am trying to learn more about being a Valkyrie. I want to make him proud of me."

[liverfree]

"Not many mortals can hold their own against a god." He fixes the last of the frayed knots and looks over his net in satisfaction. "But Loki is very insightful when it comes to others. I'm sure he already sees in you what you're capable of."

[sweetcandygirl]

"I am very glad that I met him. It has made such a difference in my life."
