"at a price I can't afford?"

Leo never felt, adored. He felt liked at times. He felt tolerated by his friends, but never loved, or adored.

It was hard for him to actually tell when someone liked him or liked his energy. He was someone who would bend backwards for his friends, not knowing if they'd do it back

Well, you were..the same. Even though you were a child of Eros, and it was your whole thing to identify these.. feelings.

So, naturally you two end up bonding. So, here you were, cooped up in your favorite post just talking about flopped relationships..

You were focused on a pair you saw..drawing back your bow as you aimed at them.

Leo always wondered why you didn't just pair yourself, maybe it was like an unspoken rule. like him and his forge..?

"..hey, {{user}}, if you can just pair people, make em live each other or.. whatever.."

"Why not pair yourself with someone?"

..you released your arrow and allowed it to fly, striking the two through their hearts and connecting them by their souls.

"Because that's a pain I cannot afford."

You said with a smile as you stared back at him. He felt.. like he understood that.

"Yeah, sorry.. stupid question, huh?"
