Thal had been kind of...drifting lately. It seemed like there wasn't much for her to do, besides go the hospital when her niece was born and coo over her with her sisters. Which wasn't really a hardship, but there were only so many times you could do that.

So she'd called up Will, inviting him out for dinner, because getting out of her apartment sounded really good right now. They'd arranged to meet at a restaurant not far from her place, she'd even broken out her new dress for the occasion.

She arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before Will and took a seat at the bar, ordering herself a glass of wine, sipping at it while she waited.

She was a breath of sunshine, that light glow radiating from her face like a laurel crown of leaves. She was the heavens themselves with bright pink hair.

William was a little late, though he clearly had not as many layers of clothes to get through these days. He had no excuse anymore. He smiled brightly when he saw her approach, standing with a proper bow and holding her hand for a kiss before handing her over to her seat. The world could be infinite times better the moment he saw his cheery Muse.

They like to do that, the space-stealing goofballs. XD

Thal beamed at Will as he bowed and kissed her hand, settling herself into the chair across from him. "It feels like I haven't seen you in ages, Will," she said, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "But you're looking well, I'm pleased to see."

A waiter approached, and she ordered another glass of wine, fingers playing over the edge of her menu. "So, been working on anything interesting lately?"

He took a seat after she and not a moment before! That jubilant smile slowly crept down at her newer question, feeling his heart sink as he could not tell her yes.

"I wish I could speak of good titles. Heroines and heroes, landscapes I have not yet explored---" he paused, "but alas my bright Muse, my writing has once again come to a halt."

She watched his face slowly fall, and reached across the table to take his hand in hers. "I'm so sorry, Will," she said, her face and voice full of sympathy. It honestly hurt her to see him like this. "You know if you ever need inspiration you can call us, right? We're Muses, that's what we do. And you're one of our best and brightest, if there's anything we can do to help, you know we will."

It's a ploy to get us to pay them attention!

He shook his head, forcing himself to smile despite the pang against his chest. How could he in front of Thalia. It wasn't like she hadn't seen that sullen face before, but to show her such depression, oh how awful of him!

"You have been busy with our beloved Clio. Surly, an aged writer is of little importance compared to your new niece." He was digging himself into his own little hole, just like the first time they'd each come across him in his life. When he'd been in his darkest moments. Mel fed of those, used it to console him, but Thal, Clio they were different, and Will had never been as close to Thalia as he could have been. Mel was his favored, Clio was his first, his attentions for Thalia, he needed to work on them.

He was also hiding things from them again. Spending time with his 'dark lady', with Pandora and that had always been an abusive relationship on the older William.
