Yeah, and who out of the two of them was more naive? "Hephaestus exists. So do the other gods. I thought you’d know that, seeing as you’re immortal. I mean, Hera posed as my babysitter for a while. She wasn’t good at it. It was probably the only job she could get.” The goddess had put him in a lit fireplace, let him play with knives, and had generally been a bad influence. "In fact, I know a son of Hades. He’s a super creep like you. But I’m guessing you’re from a completely different universe than mine if you don’t even know about the other gods.”
Ah, the stupidity of humans. They would believe in anything anyone told them-- obviously including the likes of false gods. "Shall we assume your Hephaestus is real, then? Of what does he rule?" Leo's next words would be offensive if Hades hadn't already become very much immune to such insults. 'Super creep' was considerably mild compared to other things he'd been called by humans, really. "The immortal have little reason to reproduce. Much less so with humans. Should this child again claim to be mine, have him brought to me. Slain."
