"How are Luna and Solare?" Frank asked.

"They're great. Cuddling as always. They shrunk for a while, actually, oddly enough. They're big kitties again though so it's chill." Will answered.

"Aw, kitties! I've been missing them." Hazel added.

"You're always free to visit, Hazie. Just Iris message me, I'll bring you back and forth whenever you want." Nico told her.

"I might!" Hazel smiled.

"Are we going to Hades' palace soon? Or, when are we doing that?" Frank questioned, taking Hazel's hand.

"Do you have the power to go there, babe? I don't know how often you can travel..." Will worried.

"I'm good to go." Nico assured. Before Will could ask anything more, Nico grabbed Hazel's free hand and all of them were back in the familiar palace.

"Nico, Hazel! Good to see you two again. You too, Will and Frank." Hades was already there, giving the group a warm smile. Or, at least, as warm a smile as the god of the underworld could. It was kind of hard for him.

"Nice to see you again, sir." Will replied, attempting to be as polite as possible. He was already slightly on edge, so was Frank. The god of the underworld had that effect on those who weren't used to him; without trying, the god had this slightly scary energy about him.

"How have you all been?" Hades asked the group as they sat down.

"Pretty good." Frank answered simply.

"Yeah! I mean, school is interesting, and all is good." Hazel added happily.

"Decent. Camp life is a bit somber but it's all good." Will shrugged, holding onto Nico's hand under the table.

"I don't do anything except hang out with Will and make sure he doesn't overwork himself, so it's fine." Nico told him.

"Overwork himself?" Hades questioned, and suddenly Will was a whole lot more nervous, having the god's attention on him.

"I sometimes go overboard in the Infirmary." Will said, a bit feebly.

"You always go overboard, actually, you're unable to get on a decent schedule in there. And that time you got sick to the point Kayla thought you were dying." Nico argued.

"One time." Will sighed.

"You didn't tell me about that!" Hazel exclaimed, offended.
