"What do you think?" I asked Gaia, who surveyed the land in front of her with a raised brow
Before a smile adorned her face
"It is certainly... different" she commented
"You think it is too much?" I asked
"I think it is as I said, different, different is not always a bad thing" she said

"Meaning?" I asked
"Well, you are different recently" she said
"I am not" I said
"You are" she laughed
"You pine after a girl who is equally in your affection as you are hers, you just do not see it" she said

"And you do?" I questioned
I highly doubted Gaia saw something I did not
"Yes, I have actually spoken with her of her feelings" she said
"You did? When?" I asked

"This morning" she clarified
"What did you say to her? What did you speak of?" I asked, albeit a little too urgently
"Why?" She asked curiously
"She was not right with me before, she was angry, upset" I explained

"And it has to be something I have done?" She asked
"No but-"
"Maybe you should look at your own actions Hades" she said

"What do you mean?" I asked confused
"She saw Minthe" she said simply
Oh no.
"What did you tell her?" I asked
"The truth, that Minthe chases after you but never catches up. That your affection lied solely with Persephone" she explained

I nodded to myself. Good.
That must be why she was upset with me before
She must have interpreted it in her own way.

"Bring Persephone" I ordered, I wanted this straightened out. Sooner rather than later

"Yes my Lord"

• Persephone •

"Why are you doing that?" Hermes asked confused
"Doing what? Enjoying myself?" I smiled. A true smile
One full of sun and warmth as I danced under the heat
It was blissful
Natural. To be here where I belonged
Between the sun and the grass, nurtured by heat.

"Yeah, that" he said
"Because it is fun, just because you do not enjoy yourself it does-"
"I enjoy myself" he interrupted me
"When? You are constantly running around delivering messages, or you spend all your time swooning women" I laughed.

He looked at me for a moment, seemingly not finding humour in my joke, before my eyes met his and he quickly looked away
Why was he acting so odd today? Normally he was fun
And carefree
But since we got here he has been acting different.

"Come on" I said, sitting down, discarding my shoes
He sat with me, raising an eyebrow
"What are we doing?" He asked
"Take those off and you will see" I said
