[He sits on her sofa, drawing in air he doesn't need. Taking in the physical comfort he graces himself to enjoy. It's a luxury not all have, and he can't escape that now.]

My siblings wish my ruin.

I worry I play into their game. And that it might hurt others in so doing.

Your family knows of such ancient games.

[aspolyhymnia]

Surely not all of your siblings.

[Stella and Death have become friends who meet up on occasion.]

I never cared for the dramatics of my family.

[shadowtruths]

Your family is certainly a microcosm unto itself.

[aspolyhymnia]

As is yours.

[She sips her wine and snuggles up against him.]

Is there anything I can offer to help you? Even just listening.

[shadowtruths]

Mine? It is but the cosmos, not a Pantheon. No worries for what is a function of the galaxy.

It sounds though as if your family is quarreling again?

[aspolyhymnia]

I've heard only mutters. I really only speak to my sisters.

[shadowtruths]

Of course.

[aspolyhymnia]

Do you know something that I don't?

[shadowtruths]

Pickled egg suits pizza.

[aspolyhymnia]

[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.
