Raiden had latched herself to Braireos as if she had found a new parent. Whatever she's lost from Piseodon she'd transferred over to the oldest sea being in the city. Briareos was not a people person. Something in Raiden scared him, and at the same time he knew she needed refuge. He knew what it felt to be cast aside like a disease. Her cheerful disposition however was really hurting the business. She brought out cupcakes to all the clients and radiated a vibe that Briareos just wasn't comfortable with. So, when he told her she needed to leave with Thetis----she took the news expected of a child of a sea God. With a tantrum. Briareos could only hope Thetis didn't drag her feet.

"I'm running out of patience for this," Thetis sighed. "None of us owe you a thing, girl. We have taken you in out of kindness, and Briareos is well within his rights to throw you out, or have the police escort you off his property. You're behaving like a spoiled brat, and it's not only unbecoming, it's damn ungrateful. If you won't come with me, and Briareos doesn't want you here any longer, you'll likely end up in a shelter of some sort. Either that or couchsurfing. So make your choice, because I don't have the time or inclination to stand around here arguing all day."

"I don't want a temporary place!" She was being spoiled because she was scared, and as a halfling of Poseidon's she was taking this in the way he would--by putting up walls around herself. She had spent a long time under his care and now that attitutude, that coldness that he had flipped on was transferring over to her. In some ways it was a test to see how the girl responded. She was just his little rat in a maze, only she didn't see it. She was blinded by the hurt and she didn't want to go through this again. She already had lost her mother years ago to a Japanese demon that ate her and wore her face like a wolf in sheeps clothing. Raiden had long since covered that memory up and tried to move on, and now everything was falling on her like a ton of bricks. Halfling or not she was starting to crack and lash out.

Briareos stepped towards the girl, ready to shove her towards Thetis, but he didn't want to touch her. It would show that he understood more than he let her believe, and he didn't want her to think he actually wanted her to stay.
