Homeless forever most likely.

[let_me_loose]

So one of the specks of dusts wishes to command me? The audacity of mortals will never cease to amuse me. However, you are no spawn of the gods. I need not get permission to bring you home with me.

Touch my hand. [He extends a blackened limb, his clear blue gaze unfaltering.] Look into my eyes. Age will come upon you and then you too will experience the beauty of death.

If only it were that easy...

[let_me_loose]

It would be if you so desired it.

[golden_lyre]

You haven't talked to your brothers recently, have you?

[let_me_loose]

Your affairs hardly concern me. Unless, of course, you wish to become a permanent part of the Underworld.

[golden_lyre]

I didn't realize you were so anxious to have me back. I caused quite the uproar on my last visit.

[let_me_loose]

All the more reason for it to be me who contains you.

[hydrokhoos]

You ought not to bother. It never does work with them.

[let_me_loose]

I am Hades. She should bow before me.

[hydrokhoos]

Should, yes. But will she? .. Zeus is here, as well. I've even seen Lord Chronos, if that tells you anything about what these people can do.

[let_me_loose]

She will. [There isn't even a hint of doubt in his voice.] Zeus's love of mortals is what brought him here. As for Chronos...

Time affects mortals far more than gods, does it not?

omg this makes me so happy ;_;

[majestical]

Not all wish to command, brother. For some, the mere company is enough.

[Which is also another way of saying: don't kill your mun, Hades.]

Bro! /hides knife behind back o_o

[let_me_loose]

I have enough company. The Underworld is filled with it. What I wish for, she cannot give me!

8| What is that you have there...

[majestical]

[Zeus studies his brother for a moment. Things have reverted to what they once were, it seems.]

Perhaps that is for the best. You may regret making that wish one day.

...a present? To help your current predicament?

[let_me_loose]

[Hades sneers and turns away, his shoulders hunched and tense.]

I regret many things, brother.

You mean the whole being alive and immortal thing? I'm doing fine with that predicament, thaaank you

[majestical]

That is a trait we both share. [Zeus doesn't attempt to get Hades to look at him again, but he does take one step closer.] Your fate was unkind and unfair.

[truthsandlyres]

Oh, Uncle. Always so melodramatic. Though I suppose there is a lack of entertainment in the Underworld during those times without your Persephone.

Perhaps the boredom would drive me to melodrama as well.

[let_me_loose]

The ignorant shouldn't speak.

[truthsandlyres]

That rarely stops them, I've found.

Regardless, I would suggest you avoid the specks of dust references. It merely irritates them, and they do the most ridiculous things when they're irritated.

[let_me_loose]

What makes you think I was speaking of them? [His eyes are fixed on Apollo.]

[truthsandlyres]

It's good to see that your sense of humor is as sparkling as ever.

But really, how is that wife of yours doing? Still scrambling to escape to the sunshine whenever she can?

[neverspring]

Ah?~ What beauty? Death isn't beautiful at all.

[let_me_loose]

You're mistaken. Nothing is more beautiful than death.

[neverspring]

Dying is nothing special. [She died, didn't she? She can't remember the times her body was torn apart.] The beauty comes with rebirth.

[let_me_loose]

Rebirth might be rarer, but death is far more creative. [Do you know how many ways you can die?

THAT'S ART.]

[neverspring]

Oh. [She considers this. How could she get creative when most everyone look like bleak shadows.] I concede that there are exceptions when is fun.

[Like grandfather when he tried so harm to cling to life.]
