- - - - - -Rose had been forced to read about the Greek histories and folklore. Hell, she was Greek folklore. She knew a few things about Hydra's home, but not enough to understand why he seemed so hesitant to show it to her. It was just dark and wet and stuff, right? And he lived alone, so they didn't have to worry about horrible neighbors. Well, there was her uncle's dog, but Cerberus wasn't bad at all once you got past the fact that he is a literal dog with thumbs. He seemed confused about something. Seattle, right. Hydra. Oops. She chastised herself inwardly. "Right, sorry. Seattle is a city where the sun hardly ever shines and it's constantly cold and rainy," she elaborated with a grin.
- - - - -"Really? I wouldn't know. She and Hades don't exactly speak to me much. My uncle's always too busy with Zeus breathing down his neck," she said with a shrug. She felt something in the pit of her stomach at the thought that Hydra knew her relatives better than she did. Then again, he was a monster and she was a demigod. Demigods didn't usually have the best relationships with their families. Rose was lucky her father reached out to her at all before she was brutally murdered by furies or something.
- - - - -Hades and Persephone had a relationship that didn't seem to make sense. At least, not at first. He, the somewhat twisted god of the underworld, kidnapped Persephone when she was a teenager and held her hostage, only to fall in love with her gentle, nature-loving spirit. That made sense, but then there was the matter of her uncle. How in the world did Persephone fall for someone as dark as him? Few people could answer this question, but Rose knew. Love was weird. But it was more than that. It was that Hades wasn't only a dark god who controls fear. He is a good uncle - a much better uncle than Zeus, she'll add - and was always good to Cerberus. The truth is, he just drew the shortest straw. He was a good guy, it was just hidden. At least she hoped that's what it was and that it had nothing to do with some kind of spell.
- - - - -Oh, the creatures there. So he didn't live alone. Well, add that to the list of expectations Hydra seemed to defy - which was getting really long at this point. "They want to challenge a child of Poseidon in a giant lake?" she asked with a smirk. "I guarantee you I can handle that. But having my sword would be nice," she added with a smile. She watched him careful as he continued to dig into what was left of her burger. "I can handle myself, but the fact that you're there to back me up is nice," she said. "A demigod and a seven-headed snake? They don't stand a chance."
- - - - -She stood up with him, nodding in agreement at his statement. "Yay, cousin Hermes. I hope he hasn't anxietied himself to death yet, poor guy," she said. Rose had no issues with Hermes and actually found his passion for mail quite amusing. However, she hated the toll it took on him sometimes. Everyone took him for granted and she didn't like it, but he didn't actually care about her in return. The gods rarely did that and none of her cousins took the time to acknowledge the blonde's existence. I should swing by the armory and grab Stormweaver."
