re: some ongoing shenanigans that happened to involve one of his people

Are you sure I can't turn him into a tree? He'd make a good tree.

No more trees, brother.

Don't you remember poor Daphne?

[iamso_awesome]

Technically, I didn't turn her into a tree. Besides, that was a mess all around.
Eros is still a terrible archer. Standing by that.
Anyway, this is different. Some asshole's being all presumptuous because Orpheus... did what he does (and what... music in general does...) and the person who complained in the first place didn't want the asshole to make a fuss in the first place and the dude doesn't get it.
He'd get better. Eventually. Probably.

[virgolatro]

It was still your fault she was made into a tree.

Probably? Expand upon probably Little Brother.

[iamso_awesome]

You always have to bring the logic, don't you, little sister?
'Probably' means Auntie Demeter wants to turn him into a tree too. Sooner or later she'd let him be human again - she likes the guy for some damn reason.
And let's face it, if I hadn't mellowed out a little over the millennia, dude would've been a tree for a week already.

[Just this look.]

[iamso_awesome]

[And up goes an eyebrow.]
Cassandra. Long time no see.

My mun informs me I missed your stint - well, a version of you, anyway - in my game. Probably for the best.

[cassie_of_troy]

Probably.

[iamso_awesome]

At least we can agree on that.
[They're not going to agree on anything else, and he's not going to apologise. He still sees it as Cassandra breaking a deal he'd entered in good faith. But at least he's mellowed out enough that he's not going to start the whole argument again.]

[cassie_of_troy]

A first time for everything.

[iamso_awesome]

So there is.

[golden_lyre]

You wouldn't be getting any complaints from me...

[iamso_awesome]

Yeah, but just because you wouldn't mind doesn't mean no one would.
(I really think it says something that Auntie's just as tempted as I am, especially since she actually knows the guy fairly well. I mean. The techie geek girl, in that meta space where she knows the whole story, keeps protesting that there's mortal music that makes you have all the feels whether you wanted them or knew they were there to have. And she's got a point.)

[golden_lyre]

I wouldn't tell...

(You try telling that to the Goth and see what sort of bumbling non-answer you get.)

[iamso_awesome]

I know. But I think I'm going to let Auntie keep fielding this one, and the Goth can count his blessings (with whoever's giving them to him) that I've mellowed out enough that he hasn't already been a tree for a couple weeks.
If she trees him, he really earned it.
(She really wants to, but I think she's resigning herself to the fact that she's not going to get the story. Unless it's from the Goth himself, but I doubt that. Either way, if even Auntie thinks he's not going to get it unless he's made to pay attention...)

[golden_lyre]

Probably wise. According to him she's cut him off. Not quite as poetic as a tree, but still...

[iamso_awesome]

mmm. She may not have cut him off so much as be waiting for him to get a clue. Odds of that...
I'm going with slim to none.

[golden_lyre]

Yeah. She might be waiting an awfully long time.

I'm sorry she got stuck in the middle of this.

[iamso_awesome]

I'm sorry you got stuck in the middle of this. Auntie's cleaned up worse squabbles; she'll come through all right in the end.

[golden_lyre]

She always does.
