It did not take a blink of an eye before Aidoneus entered the space though hidden in the shadows of the tree that overlooked the grave. Clad just as the other was, he spared a glance to the grave before inhaling from the lit cigarette again. He didn't need to know who was in the casket - for once the first touch of dirt fell on the beautiful wooden surface, the coffin and corpse was all for him to claim.
His verdant green eyes hardened as he watched the workers toss dirt upon it - there were many ways he could have thought of otherwise - allow the furies to feast upon the corpse or cerberus even. Hades exhaled slowly, a thin trickle of smoke emitted from the side of his lips as he turned to his younger brother.
The war that did not come, the corpse in the ground, Lethe now grovelling in his presence without a stitch of apology but merely perfunctorily performing a task. Hades' eyes did not miss a beat the moment that Forgetfulness entered his temple and how she had phrase her words. A higher power was somewhat behind all these happenings. In the order of things, there could be no higher power than the one before him - Hades admitted grudgingly.
The cigarette was extinguished by snapping his fingers together as he tossed the used brand with contempt and as an offering into the grave. "You called." Hades fought to keep his anger from rising to the surface as he took a deep breath and waited for the pronouncement - It was either that Zeus would want to strike him down for his perceived treachery or that he had done something that involved putting a halt to things from where they were going in the first place. From the look of consternation, Hades would guess the latter.
It wasn't something that Zeus would want to do but because he as Justice knew better. But if it was the former, Hades had nothing to lose - not now. Still he waited, his anger unabated at his brother who had accused him of such heinous crimes, endangered not only his family but his own world and yet, while Zeus had been right - the treachery wasn't his to bear. If it was anything, Zeus did indeed owe him an apology - which Hades fancied would be harder than clipping Cerberus' claws but he wasn't about to back down.
Let him squirm a bit more - Hades wasn't going to bring up anything as his eyes watched his brother - he too, had enough of his brother for the year. Even for the century.
