[Irhya opens her mouth as if to stop him, but hesitates, the words dying in her throat. Useless. If Hades wants to leave, come hell or high water, he's going to leave, if he has to teleport away from her to do it. The response to her flirting is nothing new, but the rest... it almost sounds like he's scolding her for having pursued this avenue at all. Scolding them both, and it stings, more than just a little bit. Like maybe she is crazy for having split herself further...

Which is why she lets him go for the moment, watching his back as he retreats, then waits until after the sun sets, plodding up to his door when she knows he is behind it and has been so for several bells. Fray is long gone by then... but it felt nice to have someone at her back for once, whispering her reassurances in plain words. Comforting, even as she apologized repeatedly.

Even if it's only forgiveness by someone of her own making, she can feel like the burden is lighter for that small moment.]


Hey... you're in there, right? Can I talk to you?

[If you're not sick of me yet, she adds only in her head.]
