Aphrodite Know Best

The Archer and Caster

"Okay! Let's get this done!" Leonardo exclaimed while fluffing the sheets that were on her bed before tucking them neatly into the edges.

"Alright, alright! Just calm down and this time please listen to what I say, and hopefully we should be done before nighttime, I have business with Achilles" Atalanta responded with an exasperated sigh.

The genius had finally gotten fed up with the state of her room and upon seeing the cleanliness and organization of Atalanta's room, she had practically begged the archer to come help her, though why her specifically is something that Leonardo still hasn't figured it out but she decided enough is enough and Atalanta is lovely enough to agreed to help her.

Atalanta had agreed but she was not expecting the room to be in such disarray. The genius had machine parts and vials strewn about the room. Atalanta had to admit the work is harder than she anticipated, she lost count on how many times she had to yell at Leonardo for tinkering her invention instead of cleaning up.

"You sure it isn't a date?" The Caster teases her fellow servant.

"For the last time no it isn't, and please stop, I'm getting sick with people teasing or asking whether I'm gonna be with him, I only see him as a brother" Atalanta sighs as throw a mop to her friend.

"Why don't you date him? He's handsome, funny and the children love him"

"You know why..." Atalanta answers shyly.

"Oh right, your crush for him"

Feeling that the conversation is over, both servants continue the cleaning. They whizzed around each other, Leonardo listening to Atalanta's instructions to make sure her room would be as neat as the room allowed.

They were in their normal attire, Atalanta wearing her cyan coloured puff-sleeve dress. The dress had yellow symbolism in the front and a black underskirt with a cyan line lining the bottom hem. Cyan coloured fabric billowed out around Atalanta's hips, ending in a thick black hem lined with some arrow-like symbols. She had dark brown double upper-arm bands adorned on both arms, right where her puff sleeves ended. Atalanta also wore an attached black turtleneck-like choker necklace and matching triangular top black thigh-highs with cyan patterns on the front. Her blond hair was tied into a ponytail while her cyan bangs framed her face. Her blond cat-ears twitched with every noise she heard, and she had forgone her gloves in order to clean.

Leonardo wore her red, purple and royal blue short dress. The base of the dress consisted of a royal blue on top with a short red skirt on the bottom. Both pieces were lined with gold and the

blue top had little embroidered golden stars. The overcoat she wore was purple, lined with gold designs and had scalloped edges at the bottom. The overcoat had red lapels with more gold patterning with small green and gold jewels attached. The overcoat was connected to the base dress with an intricate red belt piece that was embellished with a gold emblem and red jewel. It also had purple and royal blue striped puff sleeves, the royal blue stripes having little stars embroidered on them. Leonardo also had on matching royal blue triangular top thigh-highs with gold accents. Since they were cleaning, she had forgone her cape and gloves.

The two women had made good progress and were almost done. Atalanta was dusting a shelf with some vials and knick-knacks while Leonardo was next to her, tying the drapes back with a drapery tie.

Leonardo was having trouble tying the drapes, the knot she was trying to make had turned out messy and uneven. Atalanta looked over to her and became distracted by the sloppy knot and the mussed-up tassel.

"Oh by the Gods! Leonardo, that's not how yo-" Atalanta started before she tripped, her dusting tool knocking one of the vials off the shelf. Leonardo caught the woman before she hit the floor, but the vial shattered and released its strong vapors.
