@stygicniron asked: forgive me , i didn’t know . @ meg?
the young prince says he did not know , and megaera has to refrain from dragging her hands down her face . she is here on business , not pleasure , and it is the sight of the youngest of lord hades' children that has her remembering why she often stayed away and communicated via letter . she is so easily frustrated here , wrenched off her focus points like an unruly kitten by scarred hands she has bitten many times .
hades does not control her and her sisters but she still has to be respectful . so there is a reason alecto came with her , leaving tisiphone to her own devices elsewhere in the capital . at least tisiphone won't get into too much trouble .
but it was alecto's CONFIDENCE that sparked a question in the child , asking why she seemed so ... at home , in lord hades' estate . why the second of the erinyes did not bat an eye , seemed to know what corridors to pay attention to regardless of direction from the servants . megaera had not anticipated him to be so observant , and alecto had taken exception to the question , and promptly disappeared in a supernatural burst of speed , nearly teleporting ahead to the meeting room .
megaera had remarked that young nico had offended the second fury , and thus comes the apology .
if only it were that simple .
❛ you would not be expected to know , young one , ❜ she murmurs in her naturally husky voice , golden eyes focused down upon the prince of the estate . ❛ but it would be a good lesson to learn . if you have such suspicions , bring them to your FATHER — not the suspicious party . especially not one much , much older than you . ❜
the youth of today — it is always something .
