Re: Amphitrite/Achilles/Thetis/Triton

He'd come over to offer a hand of comfort but with Thetis and her own son now, Achilles would walk among the rest. He gave Amphitrite's hand a gentle squeeze intend to check on her after the event per both his and his mother's concern.
For Thetis he gave a kiss on the cheek before his venture out with the rest of the guests, his head still raised as high and valiant as ever.

[info]argyropeza 2011-06-27 02:46 pm UTC (link) Track This Thetis felt her mouth fall open. "What?" she asked, very quietly. "I...are you alright? Physically, at least?" She didn't bother to ask if Amphitrite was all right emotionally, because she could see the drained look on her sister's face. It would have been a futile question.
She nodded and managed a small smile for nephew. "Hello, Triton."
She took Amphitrite's hand. "I can stay with you, if you'd like," she said. "All night, if need be. This type of party really isn't my favorite thing."
Thetis smiled up at her son as he kissed her cheek, and watched him go. Internally, she was a swirling mass of emotions and questions, but on the outside, she appeared poised. She wanted nothing more than to leave and take her family with her, but she was here, and she would stay. It was not in her nature to run away.

Poseidon was a stubborn ass who, even now as he was gone for who knew how long, probably wouldn't come back looking for forgiveness or accepting blame for his misdeeds. "I'm fine," she said, looking to Thetis to make sure her sister knew she wasn't just saying it. "I wasn't harmed. Zeus didn't lay a finger on me, and I was too high up in the penthouse to touch the water." She didn't explain what she meant by that.
"You don't have to do that. I'm only here because I have to be. Once they've said their piece I'm slipping out. I just wish they'd hurry up and get it over with." Amphitrite was in no mood to be social. If anyone besides her family came up to her and started being consoling about Poseidon (or sarcastic, or anything) she would punch them in the face.
