[She gives him a look and then laughs.]

I don't believe you on that.

[shadowtruths]

That is the human in you. Some argue in favor, others vehemently against.

It matters not neither way.

Many care so intimately, though.

[aspolyhymnia]

Pizza is a surprisingly sensitive topic.

You are quite melancholy tonight, aren't you?

[shadowtruths]

I have spoken with Destiny.

We have never gotten along.

[aspolyhymnia]

What did Destiny say to you?

[She brushes her fingers through his hair. Stella is a rather tactile person.]

[shadowtruths]

He would not say.

[aspolyhymnia]

What did you ask then?

[shadowtruths]

If anything is to come soon from my last trip to Hell. Specifically, in regards to my realm's safekeeping.

[He leans into her touch as he sips his drink.]

[aspolyhymnia]

Destiny isn't one to give much information.

[She is happy to offer some comforting touch.]

[shadowtruths]

He is not, no. It was pointless to even ask.

[aspolyhymnia]

What about your realm are you concerned with, my love?

[shadowtruths]

I may have humiliated Lucifer in their realm.

They will not let such a slight go.

[aspolyhymnia]

Oh.

[yeah, that's not great.]

Perhaps I should see how my Uncle is doing, underworld to underworld and all.

[shadowtruths]

That is kind of you to offer, but I don't wish to bring your family into my troubles. I would not forgive myself if retribution rained on another for my sake.

[aspolyhymnia]

I'm sure we can figure something out, us and Matthew.

Who I'm sure has plenty of ideas, you know, about everything.

[shadowtruths]

He does, though I have not really discussed it with him. You know he worries. So far it has just been with you.

[aspolyhymnia]

He is quite protective of you.

[shadowtruths]

It is the nature of ravens in the Dreaming to do so.

No matter the cost.

[aspolyhymnia]

I am also a bit protective of you, and mine is by choice.

[shadowtruths]

Oh, ravens of the Dreaming have a choice. I do not enslave any in my realm. Believe me, I tried to get Matthew to refuse such a position.

[aspolyhymnia]

I know you aren't forcing them, just that it comes with the job.

[She finishes her wine and sets the glass down. Now she can wrap her arm around his middle.]

[shadowtruths]

Perhaps it shouldn't be a job.

[He snuggles in against her. He's thin and angular but also surprisingly soft as dreams might imagine.]

[aspolyhymnia]

Matthew chose to stay, let him care about you.

[They both are quite fond of physical affection.]

How can I cheer you up?

[shadowtruths]

Let us see live theatre. Come with me?

[aspolyhymnia]

[She nods.]

You may need a less dramatic shirt.
