                                              Sorry about the wait! I kind of got sucked into The Umbrella Academy, and I'm now on episode 2 season 2. I'm also somewhat having an identity crisis. That being, I can't decide if I want to use just she/her or she/her and they/them.  
                          [HERMES, spoken]
And so, the poor boy asked the king

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Can we go?

[HERMES, spoken]
And this is how he answered him

[HADES, spoken]
I don't know
                          Hades sighed, knowing that he currently wanted to let them go, but didn't know if he could let them. 

                          [FATE]
Gotta think quick
                          
[FATE]
Gotta save face

[FATE]
Caught 'tween a rock and a hard place

[FATES]
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do now?


                          "I have no idea." Hades said, Persephone looked at him, "You'll figure it out." She reassured him. 
                          [FATE]
If you tell him no

[FATES]
Oh, you're a heartless man
And you're gonna have a martyr on your hands

[FATE]
If you let him go

[FATES]
Oh, you're a spineless king
And you're never gonna get 'em in line again
Damned if you don't
Damned if you do
Whole damn nation's watching you
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do now?


                          "I get why it might be hard, but I hope that he lets you go." Orpheus whispered to Eurydice. 
                          [FATE]
Here's a little tip

[FATE]
Word to the wise

[FATE]
Here's a little snippet of advice:

[FATE]
Men are fools

[FATE]
Oh, men are frail

[FATES]
Give them the rope and they'll hang themselves
                          "Yeah, I 'd say that's true." Elizabeth said jokingly, getting some confused looks, "Satire... y'know what? Never mind."
                          Hermes had a feeling he wasn't going to like anything that happened next.
