You think I was wrong to bring that man back from the dead? We've had this conversation before. It was progress, and there is nothing better for human societies than the advent of progress. Look at them now, with their CAT scans and MRIs, when I was working with herbs and guesswork. Back then they might have called it magic. They call anything too advanced to understand magic and by the by, I don't expect you to understand, either.

Besides, that was a long time ago. Now will you stop griping over it? My patience is ill-equipped to deal with stupidity these days.

They should be thankful.

[Though there are lives she regrets saving, lives that weren't meant to exist now in the first place.]

[convalesce]

My thoughts exactly. Finally, someone with sense.

[waterfell]

It's only natural. I want that power for myself.

[convalesce]

Cultivate it. Nobody is going to hand it to you.

[waterfell]

I already know that without you saying so.

I'm always becoming more powerful.

[convalesce]

Some might say I'm obligated to include a reference to Icarus here.

sorry for the edits; for some reason wording this one is hard

[waterfell]

I have wings of my own.

[She's eager to grasp any power that comes to her, but she's only taken what's hers. Made it grow. It won't melt away.]

I'm not interested in a cheap imitation.

no worries!

[convalesce]

Good. Because there's nothing interesting about it and yes, I am referring to Hippocrates.

Re: no worries!

[waterfell]

I intend to go beyond him, but he's not the sun.

[Where do you think medicine came to him from, if not the heavens? And she is a maiden of the heavens, already gaining a name for herself in this life on Earth - though admittedly the name is one she shares with her already-famous doctor mother.]

[cassie_of_troy]

Patience?

[She laughs. Hysterically.]

[convalesce]

Something you find amusing?

[cassie_of_troy]

Patience!

[convalesce]

If you're only going to parrot my words back to me, I'm afraid I'm not interested.

[cassie_of_troy]

I can think of nothing I'd like less than the attention of another god.

[convalesce]

Well good. It seems we are in agreement, then.

[cassie_of_troy]

You are your father's child.

[goldcrowned]

[Have a motherly Titanide.]

You brought a mortal back from the dead without the help of Hades, you mean?

[convalesce]

Yes. That is exactly what I mean. I was quite proud of it, back then. My greatest achievement.

WHOOPS MYTH FAIL I'm sorry!

[goldcrowned]

[She bites the corner of her bottom lip. Apollo's son, no doubt about it.]

...I was told you had been "removed" for that, great-grandson.

don't worry, it happens!

[convalesce]

Removed. Why not say killed, outright? Much less wishy-washy. And yes, I was.

[goldcrowned]

[Boo, don't be like that. Great-grandmother hugs y/n?]

And yet here you are, dear one. How has this happened?
