"Below, yes they are." He set his hands on the table, wishing she could understand, and also not wishing to ruin her view of the world. It was complicated. "We are not Below. They do not consider themselves yours here. They consider themselves no ones but their own. They will not heed any command."
"And there are far worse things they could do then just kill you child. Even then, I wouldn't want anyone to kill you. I don't care if you go Below. You're my daughter." He sighed and shifted. "You want to experience this world and I'm fine with that. But with all the good comes all of the bad. When Ares kissed you, do you really think he'd have stopped if you hadn't been dragged away from your friends? Do you really think that if any of my brothers find you, they'll not try and harm you, for the simple fact that you're my child? And that's not even mentioning the other Pantheons."
