Persephone violently throws flowers at her dad and huffs "It's autumn again so I decided to bid you farewell." { I need to bother you again 8) ! }
he laughs, a DEEP && FILLING sound, as the flowers barely leave bruises upon his stomach. ( AS IF THEY COULD ). his smile is warm, filled with affection, && lifts one of the flowers to his nose. he INHALES, the soft scent of spring && momentarily thinks about what would happen if he just . . . KEPT HER HERE. by his side. FOREVER. but no, he made a deal. AN HONOR between brothers, && although zeus was a selfish prick he upheld honor most of all.
“ i wish you safe travels, persephone. “ he chuckles, pulling her into his arms and gently ruffling her hair. he’s seen mortal fathers do this to their children. a sign of . . . AFFECTION. he decided to implement it now. “ if my brother tries anything please inform me. i’ll go right down there && put him in his place. “
