"I won't go unless you want me to," he said to Persephone. He knew what he'd done. He deserved to hear about it. Running away would only show he was a coward and not worth courting her when she became Kore. And he would make up for it and find out all the things she liked so she wouldn't be so afraid of him.
"No one wants that. And this is the funniest thing, what I did to your mother? It was considered kind." He scoffed at that, "Zeus does worse. I didn't touch her until she wanted me to. Zeus, or Poseidon even, won't give you that courtesy. They believe because they are stronger, and because they are Kings, they can do what they want. They think of most things as possessions. Even other Gods. Mortals have it even worse."
With a sigh he sat down, "they take. And I would die if I had to see that happen to you It's why I don't want you around Theseus either. He doesn't get the concept of consent any more then his father does."
