HANDS STAINED GOLD clutch at the wound on her calf, not enough to be any real cause for alarm but certainly more than enough to hurt. Perhaps it is that pain that has her narrowing her eyes at her husband's choice of words, despite the concern that she can plainly see on his face. "Well, you know, it's the darnedest thing, Hades -- just woke up this morning and thought, you know, just seems like the thing to do."

She releases her calf to show him the wound, a jagged cut a few inches in length. "I caught myself on a piece of metal out in the courtyard. Wasn't payin' attention." Wasn't as if there was any reason for it to have been there, but she knew better than to hope for reason in Hades. And then, before he can get too huffy over her response, she thrusts her leg out in his direction. "Ask stupid questions, Hades. Now, gimme a hand."
