Some Modern Au concept art of Callirrhoe & Chrysaor in Civvys. Along with a doodle comic of Callirrhoe meeting her terrifying futher mother-in-law, Medusa.
Callirrhoe: Well donāt you look handsome? Itās nice to see you in civvies, but I do love to see you in dress uniform too~
Chrysaor: I jussst wanted to ensssure we make a good first impressssion when we meet my mom. It putsss her in a good mood when I wear her giftsss.
Callirrhoe: Oooh, Versace. She has excellent taste.
Chrysaor: Isss it on ssstraight? Iāve ironed my clothes 3 timesss, but I might have missed a ssspot & I keep losssing the top button.Ā
Callirrhoe: Baby, you're acting more nervous than when we met my family & my dad is a retired Rear Admiral. Just take a deep breath, there we go.
Chrysaor, holds & lets out soothing breaths before answering: Oh, that was still terrifying, but at least your dad respected the fact we both served. Donāt get me wrong I love my mama, & I know she wants me to be happy, but she can beā¦intense.
Callirrhoe: More intense than meeting your dad? He has a āscaryā reputation too & he wound up loving me.Ā
Chrysaor: Thatās because dad is a shameless flirt & you're an incredibly gorgeous & smart woman. The fact that your law firm does environmental protection & dad is big on Ocean conservation is also a plus. Iām still a bit worried he might try to seduce youā¦heās hooked up with one of my half- brotherās girlfriends before.Ā
Callirrhoe: Baby, you donāt have to worry about that. Besides, I'm your fiancĆ©e nowā¦but we should rethink the open bar for the wedding reception.
Chrysaor: Oh, definitely. Donāt want to risk my dad or Uncle Zeus having a drunken hook up with one of the guests. Not after what happened at the last weddingā¦
Callirrhoe: Either way Iām going to have to meet your mother eventually. I know she has a formidable reputation, but I donāt think being introduced to my soon to be mother-in-law will be worse than facing Big Oil in court.
Medusa, gives off a menacing aura with an unsettling smile: How nice to finally meet you~ Oh, Poseidon was right, you are a pretty thing & a lawyer too! Such a beautiful & accomplished young lady, although I do wonder why my son didnāt bring you around sooner before proposing?Ā
Chrysaor: Mom, I apologize for not introducing you two before, but can you please dial it back a bit? You're scaring Callie.
Medusa: Now, I doubt even I could scare off someone bold enough to go after Oil Conglomerates in court & not back down. Itās impressive if foolishly idealistic, but you do have a pointā¦the poor thing looks petrified. Callirrhoe! Are you still with us?
Callirrhoe: O-oh, yesā¦yes maāam!
Medusa: No need to be so formal, youāre not in court. I just want to get to know you better, so you may call me Dusa.
Callirrhoe: Oh, thank you D-desua.
Medusa: A shame you aren't a defense attorney. Have you considered switching to private practice? Iāve seen some of your trial transcripts, youāre much better than the lawyers I have on retainer. Iād offer you higher pay & all my employees get full dental coverage.
Callirrhoe: Oh? Thatās very generous of you, but Iām not really in this for the money. Besides, representing relatives in court would be a huge conflict of interests. Any judge would have me recuse myself.
Medusa: Oohh, how cute~ You still believe in the justice system. Donāt worry, I can take care of any objections a judge might have on that front. Youāre about to join the family after all, & we would do anything to protect each other in this family.
Chrysaor: Mom, please stop pressuring her into joining the āfamily business."
Medusa: What? Iām trying to be supportive. Itās not like Iām trying to āmake her an offer she canāt refuse.ā Just because I saw the original theatrical release of āThe Godfatherā doesnātĀ mean Iām trying to reenact it.Ā
