“You can’t exactly get over things that quickly, even with how much I’ve been blessed.” He murmured, smiling as he looked at Bob. “Especially with the childhood I had, the isolation as a hunter…” he shook his head, “self hatred isn’t easily remedied even if I’m learning to be better about it. Mended my relationship with my brother, with Acheron…” the corner of his mouth tugged a little at that thought. “But it takes small steps before everything can be alright.”

When she mentioned Eros he laughed, “I think what he loves most is that Astrid and I’s relationship pisses off both Artemis and the fates. All of them can’t stand that I’m alive, or that Astrid is in love with me. Even if her own mother deemed her judgement of me correct. I think one of my favourite parts about living up here - other than the food - is that it pisses them off.” He gave a cheeky grin at that. “All four can’t stand me, hell the fates will hiss and scream if I even come around them.” He just shook his head, laughing some more.

“I love it honestly, knowing my mere existence pisses them off so much.”

She watched him for a moment listening to him before she gave him a smile, she was older than he was by skads and she knew it. With a single hand she set it to his shoulder, “Good on you, you’ve just out done ever god on this mount because you’ve been at the bottom and know how lucky you really are.”

Letting her hand drop she spun the little girl around again with a chuckle, pausing when he spoke before she laughed out right. “Mmm I can say that irritating people is part of what makes a good relationship.” She tipped her head. “For the record, I am actually glad you exist. You make Astrid happy and that is something that means more than anything. You being here, irritating Arty just makes it all the better don’t you think? Not all of us red headed goddesses are– what does Simi call her? The Heffer Goddess? Bitch goddess? All are true, and she’s my sister I can say that.”
