Homeless forever most likely.

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.

[golden_lyre]

Nor do I, but that hasn't stopped them from plaguing me.

[let_me_loose]

Everyone has their burden to bear - even the gods.

[golden_lyre]

Oh, yes. Your lives are so difficult.

[let_me_loose]

Far more than you know.

[golden_lyre]

What happened to, 'We can do what we like'?

[let_me_loose]

Some of us are chained down by our relations. I will attain my freedom soon.

[golden_lyre]

Good luck with that.

[let_me_loose]

I don't need luck.

[golden_lyre]

No of course. Forgive me. You're above such things.

[let_me_loose]

I make such things.

[golden_lyre]

What you make is not luck.

[let_me_loose]

No, you're right. I make fate.

[golden_lyre]

I can think of three women who'd disagree quite strongly with that.

[let_me_loose]

They have reason to fear me.

[golden_lyre]

That reason being...?

[let_me_loose]

They too were spawned from the gods.

[golden_lyre]

But not from you.

[let_me_loose]

[Rub that in a little harder, why don't you, Orpheus.]

I think you're trying to anger me.

[golden_lyre]

Could you blame me if I were?

[let_me_loose]

I won't fall for that trick.

[golden_lyre]

No, we've already established that you don't want to feel emotions.

[let_me_loose]

Can't and won't are different.

[golden_lyre]

Oh, I'm very aware. There's no need to lecture me on the meaning of words.

[let_me_loose]

You're obviously having trouble comprehending them.

[golden_lyre]

I understand what you're saying. I just don't believe it.
