she's pissed. and she's going to kick her husband's ass when she gets a hold of him. she'd told him not to send those kids to the boarding school in the first place, and now - now. the idea that one of them is gone is something persephone has not yet fully processed. a child - she was only twelve - dead because of everything that's happened. she can only imagine how the boy must be feeling, which is why she's trying to find him (hopefully before she finds her husband).
her relationship with bianca and nico has always been cordial (mostly) though when she had first learned of their existence, she'd been devastated at hades' affair. she cannot fault the children, however, for the mistakes of their parents - but looking at them and seeing hades in their expressions had made her heart ache, the knowledge that she had not been enough. and as she has no children of her own (demigod or otherwise), it had driven the knife even deeper when hades had admitted his fatherhood to not one, but two half mortal children.
one of who is now gone. a shade, somewhere in this realm, while her brother desperately tries to find her. instinctively she tries to get a feeling of where the boy is - her rage and fury at her husband can wait; hades isn't likely to offer comfort to nico if he hasn't already, leaving a hole that will likely need to be filled. grief is difficult on one's own, she's learned. sensing nico somewhere near the asphodel meadows, she changes paths to intercept him. whether he wants her company or not.
"niccolo." she calls for him gently, soft. "you don't need to be wanderin' this place on your own."
@ohlympns for nico!
