"“Well, she sounds like a harmless and pleasant sort.” She turns so that she is looking at you straight on — level gaze, smoky eyes, brows pale and washed out in the light. Not her most beautiful angle, which might be why she avoids it. “Pleasant and harmless,” she repeats in a dull voice. “She’s the one who sent Helen to Troy; she’s the one who made Zeus chase after all sorts of mortal women, to their disadvantage and Hera’s fury. If it weren’t for her and her tricks and her cruelty—” She pauses, her eyes flickering up to something behind you. You turn. “It is unwise,” says the newcomer, “to rail against the gods. Especially against those who have done you favors.” She walks toward where you are standing: from a distance she looks like one of the gallery owners, but when she is beside you you realize that this is an illusion: close up you notice how tall she is, and how the light seems to follow her of its own accord. There’s a smell of something sweet and unfamiliar."
