you know what you need in the wake of your brother’s death? a booty call. specifically goddess-of-love-and-everything-sensual-aphrodite booty call. “ it’s the strangest thing, but i don’t know how i feel. ” he mused while mixing their drinks, “ on the one hand, he’s my brother, so i should probably feel something, you know? but on the other hand, he was a piece of shit sometimes and to be honest, things are a lot more chill now. i mean, if you forget the whole whodunnit mystery murder thing. ”
could his callousness be denial - some form of grieving? some might think so, but probably not. at least, he’d claim as much. this was normal for poseidon. where he should feel empathy, he felt empty. if anything, he was more worried about what this meant for himself in the long run. he felt safe enough with dite to explore it though, trusting she wasn’t gonna run to the detectives and report his irreverence.
