She didn't explain anything about what she'd meant before, but Philotes' question helped clear up some confusion anyway. She obviously didn't know how many heads a dog was supposed to have. Since Hades would guess she'd seen dogs before, this meant that it was the heads and not the sets of teeth that had made her think the dog was abnormal earlier. Hades could imagine a one headed dog easier than a toothless three headed one, so he supposed this made more sense. He still thought people attacking the dog because it had multiple heads was stupid though.
If Hades was choosing to fight a dog, he didn't understand why anyone would but if he was for some reason, he'd certainly not choose the one who could eat him in one bite and bite from all directions. In the war, they'd traveled all the way down there to enlist people angry at the Titans because they were huge, and had a lot of extra heads. The Hundred Handed Ones made very very good warriors. Hades bet the dog would make a great warrior too.
He nodded to answer her. Three. One head for each set of teeth. Hades had thought she'd been on the same page before. Now hopefully they actually were. The other question made him blink. She looked old enough to know how things generally came into being. Hades had met her family, they didn't seem like the sheltering type. That couldn't be what she meant. But Hades couldn't see how any from mattered, unless she wanted to find out if there were more of them or something. He bit his lip. Nothing so far suggested she was that keen on the animal. She thought it was abnormal.
“I'm not sure,” Hades said. He paused. “Since you think it's too big, and it has too many heads, and that people will want to attack it, I guess it could be one of Typhon's.” He hadn't roped the dog in that category before, but from what she said, it sounded like it might fit. Hades exhaled. “It had better just stay down here then,” he said. “The new king of the Olympians isn't very fond of Typhon or his ilk.”
This was an understatement. Hades hadn't realized the animal was out of the ordinary, but Zeus would know immediately. And then he'd want to get rid of it. Banish it to the Underworld probably. It might as well just stay where it was. Some people called Typhon and his brood 'monsters' because they were huge and dangerous and out of the ordinary, like the dog apparently, but Hades wasn't sure they were defining this quite right. Hades came from monsters. They weren't abnormally large, and they each had one head.
