He’s doing better than he thought he’d be.

After being banged up by his sister, Athena, during Zeus’ games of trying to persuade the other gods, him included, to release Odysseus off of Calypso’s island. Athena went one by one to 5 gods and goddesses, persuading each of them. First Apollo, then Hephaestus, then you, and then Ares.

You, his lover; on his lap, gently dabbing away the blood with a small cloth. His hand resting on his knee, his other around your waist. You would’ve thought the god of war would be angrier that his own sister beat him in combat; one of the skills he was best at, but no. He was kind of enjoying this, and also kind of enjoyed the fight he dueled against his sister.

After that was done you two and the other gods were back in the arena on the tall pillars, athena won Zeus's games and well he didn't like that and when Athena demanded for Zeus to free Odysseus off Calypso’s island and well Zeus hit her with a thunder bolt...everything was silent, everyone was shocked...ares spoke up scared for his sister.

Ares: "Is she dead?" obviously not but no one was sure
