FILTERED TO PERSEPHONE & HAZEL

If that incident with helping out at the farm showed me anything, it's that I need to expand my wardrobe beyond suits and running pants.

But shopping my oneself is hardly entertaining, so I'd like to ask the both of you to come with me.

FILTERED TO ZAGREUS

I know we haven't spoken much since your arrival. I take the blame for that. I'm hardly social even at the best of times. I just don't want you to interpret my social ineptitude for any sort of desire to avoid you.

What I mean to say is should you ever want to talk or get to know one another better, my door is always open to you.

	You would think. But I've tried that argument and lost utterly. I tell him I don't need things and he just stares at me with puppy dog eyes until I relent. I'd wish you luck in resisting better than I did, but I need someone to commiserate with! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. It's going to take a while. Can I at least request more reasonably priced things? Like...the department stores, do you think? Since I work with horses, I definitely need to not be in anything I can't easily get dirty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean, I think that's an entirely reasonable request! He can be really hard-headed when it comes to people he cares about, but he also wants you to be happy, so I think you have a case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not at all. I have another...child from a different world? There really is no way to say that well. But I've very much enjoyed getting to know and spend time with her her.

	Hazel and I have spoken a little, if that's who you mean! I understand that it must be strange, especially when multiple children you've never heard of arrive out of the blue. Of course! Cerberus was one of my closest confidants growing up, although I am unsure if he felt quite as fondly about babysitting me. I do miss him quite a lot, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes, Hazel. It is strange, but more in a good way than I would have expected. I never thought it possible for me to have children at home. So having the chance to meet the both of you has been pleasant for me.

He took to Hazel very quickly. I think he senses something there. Even if he won't have the same memories as you, I suspect he'll be glad to see you as well.

	She mentioned that the relationship seemed strained, but felt it was your story to tell should you choose.
