❛ I know I love you. I know that you love me. ❜

❛ then what's the problem ?? ❜ consider this a CHALLENGE, rather than a question. it’s well overdue in her opinion, so it comes out quicker than any other witty comeback she has managed to ever spit out. ❛ i don't get it, honestly. i don’t —— ❜ she’ll bite her tongue for a moment, taking the time to breathe before some mindless, emotional rhetoric flows out on its own accord. ❛ you're here one minute, gone the next… ❜ silence. ❛ be honest with me … do you want to be alone ?? ❜
Hades rolled his eyes. He wasn’t for playing games–at least not when he didn’t feel like it. Her snide remarks weren’t welcome today. Her comment about wasting away to nothing caused him to frown more. Had he not treated her well all this time together? She did a few measly tasks for him and he provided a place to live, food to eat, let her roam Earth as long as she returned to do his bidding. And yet she was wasting away? “I could make that happen faster,” he threatened in a calm tone–his voice like silk as he let the words roll off his tongue. “If that’s what you’d like.”
❛ yeah . . . thanks, but no thanks. ❜ if there was a shred of HONESTY built within megara’s foundation, if she held the capacity to be truthful with herself -- perhaps this constant bitterness would have not been directed towards the deity who stood before her. the real animosity lies from within, & had been created by her own choices. perhaps she truly did recognize this, maybe it was just easier to take it out on him rather than take responsibility. a quiet, almost silent sigh is released from the woman's lungs. ❛ someone sounds eager to get rid of me ❜ she’s only half - joking, of course. however, there’s still an ironic smile crawling upon on crimson - painted lips as if her own comment amuses her.
- ❛ You understand why I did it? ❜
- ❛ Why have I not seen you? Where the hell have you been? ❜
- ❛ Did I offend you? Sorry. ❜
- ❛ I heard you the first time. ❜
- ❛ Where’s your sense of wonder? ❜
- ❛ My dear brother, at times you make me wonder whose side you’re on. ❜
- ❛ You know how much I love my family. ❜
- ❛ Do you understand? ❜
- ❛ None of us knew if we were gonna go back home again. ❜
- ❛ You’re too hard on yourself. You always have been. ❜
- ❛ Trust me, that’s not the worst thing. ❜
- ❛ Tell me we’re not speaking of this. ❜
- ❛ Why do you read so much? ❜
- ❛ Look at me and tell me what you see. ❜
- ❛ Does loyalty mean nothing to you? ❜
- ❛ Keep away from me! ❜
- ❛ Are you afraid? ❜
- ❛ What are you doing here? ❜
- ❛ I’ve done nothing. ❜
- ❛ I tried to stop it. ❜
- ❛ I don’t like threats. ❜
- ❛ I understand the way this game is played. ❜
- ❛ Get out! ❜
- ❛ Power is a curious thing. ❜
- ❛ You may survive us yet. ❜
- ❛ Can that truly be you? ❜
- ❛ I thought we were friends. ❜
- ❛ Yes. I heard how happy you were. ❜
- ❛ Why does everyone assume I want something? ❜
- ❛ You’re an honorable man, a just man. ❜
- ❛ Tell us the truth. No harm will come to you. ❜
- ❛ Please don’t make me say anymore. ❜
- ❛ We would never betray your confidence, I swear it. ❜
- ❛ Ah. That’s a pity. ❜
- ❛ I have no doubt you will prove equal to this challenge. ❜
- ❛ You have two days to decide. ❜
- ❛ What if I never want you to? ❜
- ❛ Does that amuse you? ❜
- ❛ You know nothing. ❜
- ❛ You know I didn’t have a choice. ❜
- ❛ You always knew who I was, what I am. ❜
- ❛ I have to go home now. ❜
- ❛ I know you won’t hurt me. ❜
- ❛ I do know some things. ❜
- ❛ I know I love you. I know that you love me. ❜

❛ you're funny, y'know that ?? ❜ her tone is barley as dry, or BITTER than one would expect it to be. it would almost be rational to assume there's sincerity in her compliment. the girl cannot help but to spill out chunks of laughter piece - by - piece. she'll attempt to hold back as much as possible, because she recognizes that his advice is quite legitimate. there's just something about it ---- she can't put her finger on it that causes nothing but humor to wash over her. perhaps it was because she found herself in trouble so often, or perhaps she just needed to laugh ❛ sorry ----- must’ve given up tryin’ a long time ago. i don’t really think i have a choice in the matter. ❜

“You aren’t eating,” the god’s disapproving frown lingered for a moment as he looked the other over. “Eat something. You’ll waste away to nothing if you go on like this.”
❛ mm . . . must've lost my appetite. ❜ there’s a PASSIVE sense of frustration built between each & every breath of megara’s words. ❛ as sweet as your worry towards my health & overall well - being is, ❜ she’ll pause the beginning of her satirical remark, giving herself a breath. ❛ i’m afraid i might already be on the brink of wasting away to nothing, wouldn’t you say ?? ❜
