Hades used to help me care for my hair, the last time for well over two thousand years being just a few days before we lost our first child. It was always one of my favourite times, we didn't have to talk and he was always so gentle and careful; we could just care for one another, and I loved that. I always felt lost doing it in our bath during autumn and winter thereafter because it had been such an important thing for us and suddenly it just... wasn't.
