I know the mask makes it difficult to see, but I am the most handsome of the gods. [Shut up, Beauty. With that out of the way...] It's like that for all of us, yes, whether we truly understand it or not. I understand my name perfectly while others may not be so certain even though they can agree it's true.
Yes, that's correct. As you speak to more of us I'm sure you'll find those of us who know the immediate answer and those of us who struggle to fully understand. They were names given to us that we know cannot be argued either way.
[Again, she takes a moment to think it over, glancing at the ground.]
There are a few different kinds, I guess. Are you asking about physical, or like... Something that you'd call beautiful because of how it makes you feel?
And that, my dear, is why I've taken the name Beauty. [It's a gentle tone.] I believe there's beauty to be found in even the simplest things and that every day should be appreciated for what it is, even in the bad times. Finding something beautiful in the darkest hour makes things a little brighter, I'd say.
And also I've been cursed with these beautiful looks under this mask. It's a struggle, but I'll manage.
That and your appreciation for the musical arts, yes. [Very good, Zoe.] It is a shame you aren't aligned with me, however. We would have made a great match.
I'm sorry for your loss. [Beauty doesn't know all of the conditions around it, but sympathy can be expressed.] I was an only child, but separation from a family member isn't very kind to anyone.

That's a tough one. Music can be beautiful. The things people say can be beautiful. I don't know if I could pin down what makes them that way, though.

You probably get why I chose Love instead, right?

If my brother lived in a world where love mattered a little bit more, maybe he'd still be here.

[A small pause.]
He decided to do it, so what if he doesn't want to come back?
no subject
I suppose that would depend on why he did it. Do you think...knowing what you know now, perhaps things would be different with a second chance?

Maybe. Things were kind of - rocky for us before he died, but it wasn't always that way.
