"I'll bring Eros with me so that you can immediately begin your babysitting duties."

The Guardian chuckled. "Just be prepared to hand over that bow and quiver."

Once the Love God disappeared, Sophia set up camp. After making sure she had picked enough firewood for the night, and placed the bedrolls far apart, she grabbed a large rag and an extra change of clothing, preparing for her bath.

"Hey where are you going?" Cassiopia inquired as she entered the camp. "I've picked your favorite berries."

"Thanks Cassiopia. I'll eat them once I get back from the lake."

The young woman noticed the rag and clothing. "Taking a bath?" She hummed sweetly as she made her way closer to the Guardian.

Sophia quickly hid the items behind her back. "Um…."

"You know, taking a cold bath can be very detrimental. Maybe I should come with you to warm things up a bit."

Sophia swallowed hard. "That's what I'm afraid of."

Cassiopia tilted her head, and all Sophia could do was watch as waves of auburn hair cascaded with the movement. "Are you afraid of me Sophia?" She lifted a finger and stroked the Guardian's cheek. "Maybe you need to conquer your fears?"

Sophia closed her eyes at the exquisite touch. "Maybe," she breathlessly replied. Then she opened her eyes and saw Cassiopia leaning in. With all effort and speed, the Guardian dived out of the way. "Um…" She looked around and grabbed a couple of blankets. "I'll be back. Um…I have to check on Soranus." Without looking back, she took off at top speed; hoping the run would relieve some of her energies.

Once she ran down the hill, her target came into sight. Sophia shook her head and chuckled. Soranus leaned against the object of his love, his arms wrapped tightly around the truck as he slept on. 'At least one of us is going to sleep tonight.' The Guardian draped the blankets over the love struck fool, and then proceeded to the lake.

After taking a long swim and catching a couple of fish, Sophia made her way back to camp, all along trying to think of something to say that wouldn't trigger a lusty reaction from Cassiopia. 'Hope you're hungry…Nope, that won't work. Hope you can cook…uh-uh, no good either.'
