Adonis still had his doubts. "Alright..." He took a couple steps back from Aphrodite and concentrated on the chain. "You might want to hold he chain", he advised her. "I don't want the chains to hurt you."

"I doubt they'll hurt me any. They aren't all that heavy. But thank you for your concern," Aphrodite said. "All right. On three, gentlemen? One... two... three."

Aphrodite closed her eyes and poured all her concentration on getting the chain to do something: break, fall off, lengthen, anything to give them a bit of leeway, if not their freedom.

Hephaestus tried not to think of the years of regret listening to the two brought back.

He added his concentration to the mix, and indeed, he could feel something happening.

Adonis concentrated on the chains along with the others. He had a sense that something was happening, and he squeezed his eyes shut as he continued his effort.

Well, she could definitely feel something. The chains remained in place on Aphrodite's wrists, but when she opened her eyes, they were considerably longer than they had been a moment before, having more than doubled in length.

"It sort of worked," she observed, "Unfortunately, we're still stuck together, but at least we have some more leeway."

"Magic's not an exact science? Who knew." Hephaestus nods at Dite's assessment. "At least enough where we don't have to worry about dragging each other along as much."

Adonis opened his eyes and frowned at the chain. "That's interesting..." The chain was indeed quite a bit longer than before. "I guess that's a good thing. It'll make it a little more comfortable if we're stuck here a while." He looked to the others. "Does anyone need anything, or is it safe to have a seat again?" His eyes settled on the phone. "Think we could call out? Or at least get some room service?"

"I'm sure Nigel will get us whatever we need if you call the front desk," Aphrodite said, sitting back down on the bed.

"Nigel? That's the douche-bellhop you've mentioned before, right?"

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

"Douche-bellhop?", Ben asked, an amused look on his face at Heph's wordsmithing. "What, is he in charge of the place or something?"

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

"He keeps the building running, but as for being in charge... Truthfully, I'm fairly certain that honor belongs to someone else. He just works for them," Aprhodite explained.

Hephaestus says nothing at the moment, giving the chains a more thorough study.
