[Nico, eating food in the Underworld with Hades, Persephone, Thanatos, and Hecate]
Hades: Sooo... How's the weather up there?
Nico slams his cutlery on the table
Thanatos, whispering to Persephone: Geez, what's his problem?
Hecate: He's mad because Will isn't here, and because we're in a place where there is no natural sunlight, talking about the middle plains reminds him of Will. I, personally, don't see the appeal.
Nico, staring at Hecate in confusion: What?- No?- My step "mom" just kicked me with her foot under the table for the eight time already-
Persephone, nodding: Yes.
Nico: Not the time for call and responses. Thanatos looks too much like Cupid and it bugs me. And Father didn't even remember my birthday.
Hades: Uhhh, actually- (finger snap) Alecto was supposed to bring you a cake so you can have a surprise party, Persephone kept kicking your legs away from the presents we hid under the table, and I had No clue about the Cupid thing.
Alecto comes in holding a half eaten cake. Hades facepalms.
Hecate, whispering to Nico: You now have three choices. I suggest to take the path that doesn't involve me getting stabbed with my own torches.
Hades shoots her a glare.
Hecate: Or your father, I guess.
