"I wouldn't expect you to. . .not without your price, that is," the corners of Shaw's mouth lifted as he learned forward slightly, one burly arm resting on the table, and he continued "I'm not a religious man, and prefer not to tangle with deities for the most part---no offense intended, of course---but from my limited understanding, it is traditional, even mandatory, that in order to grant favor to a mortal, most of you first require. . . sacrifice." He let the word hang in the air before continuing. "In this way, we are much alike. I, too, will give nothing, unless it is paid for in return. It's one of the few fair things in this world, and I value it. So tell me. . ." The corners lifted further, becoming a smile on his face, which looked so much older than her own despite being millenia younger, "What do I have to put on your altar to gain your grace?" @celestialcrcwn

“I’m so glad you were able to come over. I know you’ve been so busy.” Wanda took her seat beside Natasha. “How have you been? How is your family?” She offered a warm smile. It felt like it had been forever since they’d been able to see each other. That was life, though. “I should take the boys to meet Natalie. I think they would be good friends. Perhaps we should invite them all over for dinner sometime.” 

After a moment studying the menu, not understanding most of it, she headed to the counter. “Do you have just.... a regular cup of coffee?” She didn’t need anything fancy. Although, she did have to wonder what a frappe was. “With cream and sugar?”

      “ I just wanted to do my part.”

Slowly he inclined his body toward her, pushing her back against the couch to feel more of her. He wanted to break the kiss and catch his breath, but he didn't dare stop. She would have to.

She rounded the corner of the forest path, and drew in a sharp breath when her eyes met those of a man’s. She felt her skin grow pale and and her blood ran cold as she saw him, but he didn’t appear to be a guard or a soldier. She did her best to ignore him at first, and keep moving but he was right on the path. “Hello” Felicity said, her voice a little weak from the tiredness. Her hands wrung together as she grew nervous of the stranger. “Excuse me, I’m…I’m just passing through”

He greeted the other traders happily, and readied himself for the customers to start coming. After a few hours he’d sold a lot, and he was pleased with the income he was making, it wasn’t really that much, but enough for him. He was putting some of the now empty boxes towards the back of his stall when he saw someone approach. “Hello! Just one moment please” he called, before handing the donkey another treat. He moved passed all the empty cartons in the back and made his way back to the front, where he laid his eyes on the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. “Hi-hi” he said, his voice stuttering, as he gazed at her. He quickly had to snap out of it as he realised he may appear strange, but my god was she gorgeous. “What can I- what can I do for you…do, do I know you? I don’t believe I know you?” He said, his voice a quizzical smile.
