~*~ Not jet satisfied ~*~

I move the pottery urns from left to right. Should I put the big urns next to the thrown... or the small ones. I am also moving the bags of gold and the treasure chest around. "No," I sigh. "What is wrong?" I hear the well known dark voice next to me. I turn to look at Ares. "I am not satisfied," I grumble and put my hands on my hips. Ares looks surprised. "Not?" he asks. I start to laugh, my grumbling just now sounded just like Ares grumbling. "Why are you laughing?" he even looks more surprised. "Sorry," I giggle. "Just now I heard your influence in my grumbling." Ares look at me. "And that is to laugh about?" he hisses. "You should be grateful I take the time to influence you."
"I am," I flatter the god and I see it works. "Thank the gods for his ego," I think.

I turn back to the temple. "And still I am missing something, the offerings are standing around the temple, its a mess," I say. Ares looks at the offerings. They start floating on their own from one place to an other. "No," I say. "That's not it either."
"Like this?" Ares says, again the miniatures move. While they are moving I see that one offering is floating higher than the other. "That's it! I like it just like that."
"What's it?" Ares says. "Everything is floating!" 
"Yes, that is what I mean," I say. "I just have to make sure not everything is on the floor. I am going to make a platform at both sides of the temple!" I am getting all enthusiastic. 

The mini offerings are landing safely back on the floor of the temple. "Thanks, Ares!" I say and give him a kiss on his cheek. Than I walk to the basement to get some wood, leaving Ares speechless.
