Carmine searches for Clarice, intending to ask the other goddess a few questions. As she walks, she idly twirls her magic flute, and half-smirks at what the questions were. Sometimes the goddess of dreams feels the goddess of law has performed some actions that went against the sense which Clarice was supposed to embody.
"Oh Clarice! Where are you?"

Clarice was in her personal study, going over the books of other pantheons she has been able to gather. She was about knee deep in some Greek mythology when she heard the voice of her fellow goddess.
"I'm in here! You should know by now where to find me duing my off hours."
She marked and closed her book, thinking that this might take longer then she could keep her attention on her work for. She knew she had all of eternity to learn. She did push the book of Greeks back self-consciencly, even though Carmine probably wouldn't be able to make the connection it still embarrassed her a little.

"Ah-ha!" The goddess of dreams enters, and continues, "I've been wondering something. Why do you keep turning down both Atrophy and Serhan? Is there something wrong with them? They're both well respected and good looking, not to mention they aren't that shabby when it comes to using their abilities."

She jumps a little at how sudden and straight to the point that Carmine was with her question. She let out a little giggle that she couldn't help before she got to answering the question.
"Well, I believe that would cause favoritism to certain Gods that simply wouldn't be right for my domain Carmine. I must keep myself unbiased or else I cannot properly enforce the law."
It isn't that she hasn't thought about it before, they both would be very suitable for mates. It just wouldn't be right to accept either of them. It is tough sometimes but over the length of years she has come to accept it and deal with it.

"Haven't you thought about it? Or at least how jealous the rest of us goddesses are getting? I'm sure I speak for more than myself when I say that we'd give at least our most prized possession for them to look at us just once the way they look at you," Carmine replies.
She doesn't sound angry though, closer to just teasing and pretending to be stern.

She swallowed hard. Yes she thought about it, and several times she wishes that she could just make them look elsewhere, but they keep coming back to her. Flattery only goes so far, and now they are making it difficult to stay on the straight and narrow.
"I have, several times I have but I have to repress those thoughts. And I realize that you may be jealous of me, and if I could help that I would. I... I don't really see why they still try after so much rejection. I won't be stupid and try to be modest, they think I am pretty, but enough to spend eternity getting rejected? Enough to ignore the pretty ladies that are walking around them every day."
She smiled slightly and ran her fingers through Carmine's hair as if telling her that she did indeed mean her as well. It seems her faith in herself is always being tested at this pantheon, it seems to be the fate of one who lives there life inside the law to try and be dragged off the path.

Carmine just shakes her head and laughs to herself. "It's enough to make me wonder why we often expect mortals to dream of different things or stop attempting the same thing over and over while expecting different results... Anyway! What are you reading about this time? More boring government texts?"

She smiles, and nods her head, agreeing with this comment. The people of Earth can't be expected to change if the Immortals themselves won't. Carmine has grown into a smart girl and Clarice never really took time to notice.
"Well, not exactally, but pretty close. With all the new pantheons popping up I decided that I should see what they are capable of. I was reading a book on Greek mythos when you found me."
She pushed the book to the front of the desk for Carmine to see. She knows she was holding it first, but perhaps coming clean would make her skip over more unpleasent subjects. It's not like the lady knows the direct connection anyway.

"Oh? Anything interesting about them?" Carmine replies, raising a brow curiously. "By the way, you'll be getting a break. Atrophy and Serhan are both missing; I bet they'll be gone awhile."

Clarice pushes the book to the edge of the desk so that Carmine can page through it while they chatted. It wasn't like the boys to be gone for so long. Well, check that, it wasn't like Atrophy to be gone so long... Serhan tends to do what he wishes in the blink of an eye.
"Well, it has all been interesting. Stories of the Titans, the abilities of the Gods, the wars of man and every little thing that the immortals involved themselves in is interesting enough."
She giggled at the thought of 'getting a break.' Getting a break from those two dosn't exactally mean getting a break from life. She sometimes wished she could go down into the mortal realm and just be normal for a couple years. Her helper would be able to do things just fine for that span of time.

Carmine skims through the book, then nods. "Anything you need while I'm here? I'm pretty sure what's-her-name that helper of yours, and I could hold down the fort if you want to go visit the other pantheons for a while. There's only some much that description can give, to really know something you need to go through it."
The goddess of dreams returns the book and idly twirls her flute.

Clarice hummed and thought, she was just happy to see the girl as she didn't get to as often as she would like. Admittedly it is her fault, among the company that Carmine keeps herself includes her opposite in the Pantheon.
"I would like to take some time off now that you mention it. Perhaps instead of visiting pantheons I could visit Earth for once in forever. The Immortals took all that time to make those landscapes and I have yet to truly enjoy them. What do you think I should do?"
She muses with all the possibilities in the back of her mind. Maybe a small house on a mountain somewhere, perhaps bask in the archetecture of India. Or she could visit the always lively realm of Valhalla or perhaps go to Olympus and see... She shut her eyes and shook that thought out of her head as soon as she caught herself making it.

Carmine grins. "Go ahead and see the mortal world. The pantheons won't change for a while but the mortal world changes constantly. Miruli is going to be in for a surprise, for once someone will be going past him to go into the mortal world rather than out of."
"Might be good for our gatekeeper to see Clarice, too. Maybe the sight of her will coax him to pry that stick out of his bum."

She decides that she is going to do it, it would be a good time away and it would give Serhan and Atrophy time out to actually just do thier job for a while. She is of course excited that thing are going the way they are and gives Carmine a soft and friendly hug for suggesting it.
"I will get to doing that right away then. Can you tell my assistant that she will be doing my duties for a little while Carmine? That would be a huge help."
She then runs off to her room to pack things up, choosing things that didn't look and feel extremely goddess like for the trip. She frowned seeing how she might have to stock up when she is on earth. Everything she possesses seems to fall in the realm of gown of some sort or another.
"Do you have anything... plain that I can use for the trip to Earth Carmine? It seems I really didn't prepare well for a time like this. Godly fabrics kind of scream my identity while I would prefer to go incognito."

"I have a few things, though they wouldn't match your gowns though," Carmine answers. "My clothes are in my room, and a few different sizes and designs. Shapeshifting without changing outfits sometimes doesn't look quite right."
Most of Carmine's clothes are for her original form, but some are for different ones. She generally perfers either a tomboyish style or what could pass as a school uniform depending on her move. More than once, she'd been teased for not dressing in a goddess-like way.
