@florietiae asked: ❝ zagreus really doesn’t know when to quit       this little brunch is starting to go downhill, and fast. yet he's still trying. on the opposite end of things, however, melinoë's lips purse, uncertainty flickering over her features for a few, fleeting seconds. poor atreus, sitting there so awkwardly. she doesn't blame him. keeping conversation with the god of the underworld can feel a bit daunting. although, she thinks she may have an idea that might turn things around. melinoë leans over to loki and murmurs, " hey, you're doing better than you think. i have a plan. " she decides to circle back onto zagreus' eariler mention of a certain three-headed dog, and says, " you know, father, i introduced atreus to cerberus not long ago. i think he adores him as much as you do.--'' / plops this here 😊 ❞ ( random ask )

Loki hadn't been surrounded by so many unfamiliar gods since. . . well, Asgard. But gods to whom he was by all means related to? Through his father of all people? It was difficult to not be awkward, bouncing between talking all too much and sitting there wringing his hands. Melinoë and Zagreus were one thing—easier to converse with, to ask questions of—but Hades himself was more worrisome.

Melinoë's whispered words brought the lifting of brows, an unsure smile sliding into place. "Really?" His eyes flicked from her to Hades, Loki sitting up a bit straighter in his seat. After all, surely she knew best if Hades was. . . taking all of this well. Her change of topic in particular brought a smile, genuine and bright, back to his face. "Oh, yeah! He's really cool—and friendly!" Much different than Loki had expected given what he heard in myths from his father and Mimir. Then again, he had been introduced by Melinoë. "You know, I can actually communicate with animals. I have a wolf about the same size as Cerberus, Fenrir. I was thinking—" And he was off.
