How did the girls react to Zag being adopted?
Macaria: *13 years old* so, if Zagreus is adopted, that means he’s not our big brother?
Hades: well, we adopted him, so technically he is.
Melinoe: *10 years old* but who are Zagreus parents then?
Hades: your uncle Zeus and-
Melinoe: did mommy sleep with uncle Zeus?
Persephone: what?! of course not!
Macaria: oh, so aunty Hera is his mom?
Hades: um... no dear. It was this human girl name Semele.
Macaria: so he is our cousin, like Ares or Hebe?
Persephone: well... technically... yes.
Melinoe: but you just said he’s our brother...
Hades: because we adopted him.
Macaria: so you adopted our cousin? why?
Persephone: well... your uncle wanted to hide him from Hera, and your dad and i wanted to have a child, so...
Melinoe: but you have us too...
Hades: well... back then we were not sure if we could have children...
Persephone: well... some people, like your dad, just can’t have children the regular way...
Macaria: then how you had us?
Persephone: cause I’m a fertility goddess!
Melinoe: but Zag is ALSO a fertility god...
Hades: well, that’s just a coincidence...
Macaria: ...i think i’m lost...
Hades: look, just... *sighs* just keep treating him like your own brother, ok?
