Something he wouldn't know.

"Do you miss it?"

But he thought he knew the answer anyway.

"Or is all this working out better for youse? Apollo's not a bad guy."

He paused, "I've missed you. I grew used to youse being there."

Another silent pause, "I've missed Lethe. It's too bad she'll have to forget it all again."

"You always know just what to say pudding-pop," he spoke affectionately yet there was still a grim undertone. He'd be visiting Ate when he was Dark again and other than that he'd find a way to make his daughter remember her upbringing again.

"I know."

She shrugged lightly, reaching with her free hand to finger the icing on his cake, popping the chocolaty-goodness into her mouth lightly.

"It's not nearly as bad as I thought it might be. Only one small disagreement so far, and other possibilities in the air."

She looked around at the garden again, a wry smile forming on her lips. This was their blood... And she wasn't at all sure what to think about the lot of them.

Other possibilities.

He glanced around the party at who was left.

He saw Thanatos drinking hard liquor? Perplexing that was. Kia looked scarily happy. Dysnomia looked a little confused. Limos---Wasp rather looked vexed which wasn't anything new. Hori looked bored. Neikos was gawking. Lethe and Kakia were talking...

Issy and Morpheus were talking...

"I thought Apollo's daughter was coming?"

He didn't voice what he was thinking about that...

"So did I... We'll just have to tell Eris to bring her to visit..."

That caused a smile... Maybe they could convince Eris to give up this silly Olympus thing once and for all. A mother could dream...

"And I do think we'll need to invite Momos around for tea."

"I won't hold my breath."

He paused and considered Momos.

"Now I know you're up to something."

"Up to something? Hardly."

She smiled, glancing toward the door Momos and Ate had just disappeared through.

"I simply see things with a mother's eye."

He glanced after her glance, "He left with her, tells me all I need to know, but invite him for tea if you like, honeybun."

He glanced back toward Thanatos, Kia, and Dysnomia, "If he passes out---Can we just cover him up on the lawn? He's too tall to carry around."

She smiled, leaning in a bit as she let her shoulder bump his.

"I do... sometimes more than others. It was...I don't know. It was an escape. And as far as escapes go, probably better than it should have been. But I think I ran from things a bit too long. And, good or bad, I need to deal with them. Even without Apollo, I'd like to think I'd have realized what I was doing was detrimental to others." She laughed lightly. "But probably not. I'm a bit selfish that way. But I'm not abandoning you completely, poppet..."

She glanced toward her daughter as he mentioned Lethe, then looked back at him, shrugging softly. "Why does she have to forget all of it?"

He didn't say much of anything to her response about it being her escape or realizing what she was doing was detrimental to others. One of the things Dreams had always been about was an escape from a reality that the Dreams worked to sort out.

He smiled at her knowingly when she said she wasn't abandoning him completely but looked sort of disheartened when she asked why Lethe had to forget.

"When upside down time becomes right side up again, her river of Oblivion will be hers again and so will my Dream kingdom. The river will swallow her memories as my realm will reclaim me. I didn't understand before why she had to forget anything, but being here now and cut off from my realm, I have came into a certain understanding. I am in control of Dreams. I make them. This is what I believed. I never thought I was in anything but control, but I understand the realm of Dreams controls me as much as I control it. It rejected me, it's king, when I didn't feel right to it, but when things return? As much as I love it? As much as I have missed it? I've realized: I'm it's king; it's slave."

"Lethe's river is not so different."

"No... no it's not. But she doesn't forget everything, you know. Or rather... she did, last time... but after a while, was able to retain some memories. So with patience and desire, she doesn't have to forget it all. I know it' nice to have her back to her old self, but she doesn't just change completely... it's just a bit more trying."

She was actually pretty surprised at whatever it was that seemed to be between Lethe and Morpheus... from his words, this was something that had started long ago, forgotten with everything else in Lethe's past.

"How's she taking the whole idea?"

He wasn't getting his hopes up; there was a misconception that there was hope in every dream, but the truth was that some dreams were hopeless and amounted to nothing more than acting as useful trick to alleviate horrors; a torch used to keep back ravenous madness.

Morpheus realized Eris may not have knew much about his past with Lethe, but it didn't matter to him what anyone did or did not know, his own knowledge of what was and the events leading to the demise of what was, was enough to deal with.

"She's being strong."

It was admirable how durable and resilient she seemed to be taking it.

"I'm not surprised. She was never one really to share her worries... or expect much of anything."

She smiled, glancing again to where Lethe was talking to Kakia, the latter much more animated than the former.

"She'll manage, and do it with a quiet grace she learned somewhere... not sure where it came from. It's good to know she has someone to experience this with."

All very admirable traits of Lethe's for Eris to point out to him...

It almost made him regret the anger he'd harbored for so long against Lethe... but he was a obstinate god.

He'd gradually became some sort of a misogynist down through the ages without realizing what had happened to him; disliking the female gender increasingly over time over a series of early life slights, betrayals, and chance disasters. Morpheus had sworn off having any real romantic affairs. Instead he chose imaginary lovers he himself created, or those who dreamed; lovers he loved not as himself, but in the form of someone else, like Apollo, and caring for them only within the virtual like setting of a dreamscape (or so he had deceived himself for so long into believing).

Phobetor used to call every girl and woman he thought was pretty and encountered a "princess," to which Morpheus had in turn bitterly and sarcastically adopted the term to describe the type of girl that annoyed him the most: those who appraised themselves so highly.

Phobetor's princess had first annoyed the Dream King because of how she had viewed and shunned his brother. Resentful of the offense, which he took as personal as if he had happened to him, all women soon started becoming Princesses in his bitter eyes.

Something was caught in his throat after Eris had said that last piece. Morpheus was not good at this sort of thing.

He just sort of nodded.

Morpheus deserted his seat at the table and approached Lethe and his aunt...

She smiled as she saw him coming, offering a bow as she doffed her father's hat.

"Well, if it isn't the dreamiest nephew a girl could have...."

She grinned at Kakia's high spirits, turning to offer Morpheus a smile, wondering if he got that bored. Of course, it couldn't really be described as boring... but then, fighting might be par for the course at this sort of thing.

"Hey..."

"Hat looks good of you Kakia," he sort of smirked.

"I thought I could steal your niece here away for a dance," he looked at Lethe.

"What do youse say Lethe?"

Kakia grinned and just stepped back, meandering over towards the food table as she left the two alone. Lethe grinned with a nod, and held out her hand.

"Dance? I'd like that..."

If this was a dream, he'd chose the kind of music he wanted her to hear...which would have most likely been something she'd heard before and liked whether she remembered it or not.

Unfortunately he'd have to deal with the music that was actually playing.

He took her hand, "I don't think your mother was actually anticipating that too many of us would dance."

Kia's mouth pursed when she caught some of the words coming out of Styx' mouth. What a BITCH.

She was lucky she decided to leave. Kia was about ready to hit her, herself. When Ate came around to say goodbye, Kia gave her a hug and told her she did good giving that bitch a what for.

Once the drama was over, she looked over at Thanatos and cocked an eyebrow at him downing her Jack like it was water.

"I know a good party, Uncle. Believe me. You're gonna get drunk if you keep drinking like that."

This was a disaster. Someone needed to tell Styx she couldn't just go around hurting everyone's feelings...that was the liquor telling him he should go do it.

He smirked at Kia after almost completely draining her bottle and wiped his mouth with his fingertips, "Drunk?"

"Yeeeeeeah. Give it a few minutes." He was gonna be wasted. That might just make this party fun again.

She summoned a new bottle and took a swig.

"I---"

Drunk didn't register.

"I'm going to get Styx. It's not right what she did. She's got to know!"

He hugged Dysnomia because it suddenly seemed like the thing to do, "Bai!"

Downing the rest of the bottle because Kia had another one and wouldn't be needing this one he started toward the gate.

Rather ironically, Thanatos' hug took her by surprise and she frowned a little as he wished them...a strange farewell? With a sigh, she opened her purse and fumbled around for her lipstick, which she reapplied and checked with a mirror. Once her makeup was back in her purse, Dysnomia looked at her sister, shaking her head in disapproval. "Some people just don't know how to behave at parties."

After smoothing out a wrinkle on her dress, she looked at Adikia again and grinned. "Let's go say hi to grandpa!"

She watched Thanatos leave thinking he was going to have one hell of a hangover tomorrow. She hoped he was prepared for that.

"I know, right? All that hugging? So inappropriate." Her snicker sounded as she flicked her sister on her nose.

"Good idea. I want some cake."
