Silver: *Sighs* Well, this is just great.

Standing at the front of the Hera Manor's gates, Silver found himself under the sharp scrutiny of a group of women gathered on the other side. Their eyes bore into him with an intensity that made it abundantly clear he was not welcome.

"Hmph! So that man actually dared to show up," 

One of them muttered, crossing her arms with a huff.

"If you weren't Bell-sama's father, we would've run you out of here already," 

Another added, her glare sharp enough to cut through steel.

"Tell that patron deity of yours that his days are numbered," 

A third sneered, venom lacing her words.

Silver: I hear you loud and clear, ladies... *Great, if they didn't hate me before, they sure hate me now.*

The murmurs and sharp remarks continued, the air thick with hostility. But just as the tension seemed ready to escalate further, a new sound cut through the grumbling. The crowd of women gradually parted, their gazes shifting as someone approached.

Meteria: Excuse me, coming through. Move aside, please.

Her voice was calm but firm as she weaved her way forward, her presence alone enough to prompt the others to reluctantly step back. Finally reaching the gates, Meteria let out a small breath, her eyes settling on Silver.

Meteria: *Smile* Sorry for taking a while. Silvia wouldn't stop teasing me. She really got carried away this time.

Silver: *Chuckle*  It's alright. And sorry for just dropping by unannounced. I just wanted to check in and see how everything was going.

Meteria then opened the gates stepping out as she responded-

Meteria: It's fine. But... As you can see, everyone's still really upset about what Zeus-sama did.

The two glanced toward the group of women standing at a distance, their gazes sharp and unwelcoming. The weight of their silent judgment lingered in the air.

Silver: *Sighs*  Yeah, I can tell. Don't worry, I gave the old man a good scolding. With what Hera-sama's doing, I really hope he finally learns his lesson this time.

Meteria: Mhm, I agree.

For a moment, the two stood there in silence, their eyes meeting, unspoken understanding passing between them. The tension of the day, the frustration, the exhaustion, it all flickered through their gazes. Then, breaking the quiet, Meteria hesitated before softly speaking-

Meteria: Do you want to see Bell? He's sleeping right now, but if you want to see him we can go to his room.

Hearing this Silver shook his head with a knowing smile.

Silver: No, it's alright. Maybe some other time. Normally, when I visit, those girls already glare at me like they want to throw me out. After everything that's happened... I don't even want to imagine how much worse it'll be if I step inside now.
