#darius is like i used up all my 'suspiciously distrusting offspring because of their parents' energy on luz

[crimeronan]

"darius is my dad??" is a fucking hilarious response, BUT CONSIDER "my mom has CLEARLY done this exact thing to darius.. is that why hes so weird about me and hunters rivalry.. is. does he think ive been doing That for years. has he been giving hunter tips against that. oh no"

amity running up to darius, in her "i burst into tears when misunderstood voice": DARIUS. I AM NOT POLYAMOROUS!!

darius: ... OK. ?

HELP

in my heart of hearts i know darius would not have anything Remotely helpful or reassuring to say. but also i want to believe amity manages to stutter through an explanation that, while unhelpful, at least gets him to like.... "this is about my mom"

so he's like.

kid. i don't think you're your mom. your mom never had magic powerful enough to snap her peers' spines like twigs. i promise you, you are Significantly Worse and have Way Bigger Problems.

so. relax.

amity, her eyes Huge: 🥺 you mean it?? 👉👈

darius, already getting a headache: oh, for TITAN'S SAKE.
