That warms her stone cold heart to its very core! The family's doing well, she trusts? And she's excellent. No complaints now that he's here.

Oh, don't be so dramatic, Hephaestus.

His ’K’ is noted. x.com/heavensruled/s…

She's quite glad too! And that might be the best news she's heard all day. Give them all her love. Even Aphrodite. She's feeling generous today. Does he even have to ask? x.com/brutehonor/sta…

Get up, demigod.

Good. No hero worth their salt ought to be that clumsy.

Well, she wouldn't be so sure about the reciprocation, but it's sweet of him to convey. Nothing he ought to worry about. How are the children? Little winged munchkins. x.com/brutehonor/sta…

Yeah, what Ares said. And what fresh pain is this?

If that's what he'd like to believe. Has he seen Apollo lately?

Ares is way too hard on himself. She blames his father. How sweet. And of course she loves them! Within reason, obviously, but she loves nonetheless. x.com/brutehonor/sta…

That's the motto, love. Where is this self-doubt coming from? Her darling son does so much! Of course. She's not /that/ heartless. x.com/brutehonor/sta…

What could he possibly be talking about? From where she stands, they look more than happy. ... he should know that he's not his father's mistakes. x.com/brutehonor/sta…

Not all over her marble tiles!

Have it cleaned up by the time she's back.

Good. And go see Apollo about that nasty cough, he really doesn't want to make a habit of ruining her decor.

Just yell something blasphemous about his looks. He'll show.

Fan-fucking-tastic.

Oh, well. Guess it's time to torture another hero.
