[OOC: Small caveat, I’m bending comics canon a little here. In it one version of the story of what broke up Nada and Dream was that she was mortal and therefore the cosmos won’t let them be together (they strictly say though that this is just the story told among men, and the women have their own version). Later on he then has Thessaly as a lover, who while she’s lived for thousands of years is technically not immortal. She’s never been granted that gift, she keeps extending her life in exchange for favors from pretty much anyone including demons (I love her). For ease of exploring this line, I’m leaning towards it being that some will frown upon them being together/might want to cause them trouble, but it’s not an automatic “your city will be burned to the ground” situation that makes it entirely impossible. Lemme know if that works or doesn’t, because if you’re more comfortable with something else, I don’t mind going back and editing tags. … I am so sorry this got so long, I’ll stop now.]
[He pauses when she does, pulling back to study her intently. His eyes are inquisitive stars soaking in her words. He doesn’t take her concerns lightly as he brushes back her hair.]
You are not the first mortal I have been with. It can be… complicated. One relationship passed by with only a waning interest to break us apart. The other… [Well.] There were politics beyond her mortality that came into play, as she was ruler of her people, and it ended for the worse. Not all will approve of our union, and I have many enemies. As I know you do. I believe this, what we have done tonight, is safe between us. In a larger scope though… even being my friend brings danger. I apologize if that was not made clearer on my end sooner. It is not a danger I feel I cannot offer protection from, or I would never have spoken with you to start, but I would be lying if I said it did not exist.
[He gives her a small smile.]
Perhaps it would be best to take it slow and see how things fare on both ends. I know that is much to take in.
