Hephaestus was not a very trusting person by nature. And really, who could blame him? He had a few siblings and relations that he talked to on a regular basis, but beyond that, he'd held most of the world at arms length. It might have kept him from getting hurt again, true, but it also made for a very isolated existence.
And then he'd met Aglaia. It had taken a few meetings for him to start to let his guard down, but now he was glad that he had. She was sweet and kind, and she liked more about him than the fact that he could craft wondrous things. So he'd invited her to his home for dinner. He could cook, he just didn't do it very often. (He'd tried to build an automaton that could cook. The result was disastrous, and had almost set his house on fire.)
It was a bit slow going, getting around the kitchen on his supports, but he managed. Everything was laid out, all that was left to do was pour the wine, but that could wait until she arrived.
