"Silence, boy! You have confused matters enough."

"I'm just saying, if I can be a god of nothing at all, so can she."

Hades... doesn't have an immediate response to that.

"Not all gods and goddesses know their domains immediately. The lack of an immediate answer is not its absence. Have patience, and see what this new inhabitant of the Underworld brings."

"Fine. I have wasted enough time with these trivialities and I do not want to delay my work any longer. Dismissed."

"Be welcome, child. Seek me out if you are in need of assistance here. May it be as much of a home as you'd like."

And then she vanishes.

... eep?

"Thank you," she says to the open air, feeling very meek and small.

And now Zagreus leads the way away because Hades got the victory he wanted, thank you very much, they do not want to stick around.

(And at the same time, Yvette will suddenly find her separate piece of mind synchronised again.)

This is deeply confusing and she's glad all she has to do is float after Zagreus.

Part of her just came back from a horrendous battlefield fed by gods, too small to do anything about any of it and screaming from the inside, and part of her feels... like she might have a home now?? She kind of wants to cry, for two completely different reasons.

Zagreus doesn't walk directly towards the other part of her, not yet, although he does move in that general direction.

He takes a right, though, and (after making sure Yvette is still following) finds the both of them a nook between some vases (there sure are MANY vases here) and statues, a corner with no shades or gods close enough to hear them. "Are you okay?"

Yvette is still... stuck. She's an Underworld citizen now??? That's scary and nice but she feels disloyal to her own family that she's looking for? Except it's also great because she has a home if she wants it and she hasn't had one of those in ages. But the Olympians are terrible and she probably needs to leave to go overthrow them all? But... but the mortals all end up here eventually and life here kind of sucks for them, and she wants to make it better? Probably it's just more efficient for her to fix it here and then maybe work on tearing down Olympus? And, and, how can she even think about something like that when she just floated there quivering while Hades was being a massive asshole, surely she should be better than cowering meekly at someone just raising their voice!

She gives a little squeak? That's probably a 'no.'

He can use his newly-acquired skill here: "Do you want a hug?"

"Mmhmm," she hums, and then she flings herself into his arms to cry. Because feelings are hard and furthermore death is terrible.

("I'm going to go join the rest of me that's getting hugged if that's okay?" says the little mote of her that's nestled in Thanatos's hood.)

(Thanatos is standing at a balcony, watching the Styx flow and dwelling in his own thoughts, and although the god of death certainly doesn't startle he was very much not expecting conversation right then. "Do as you will," he says in that neutral tone of his.)

Okay he's not... sure... well, probably it had something to do with his father being his usual lovely self, but he thinks there's more to this crying than just that, so he'll hug Yvette for as long as she needs him to.

("Okay thanks for having me, be back when everything is less overwhelming," says the mote to Than, and then it skirts back to the rest of her.)

And here she is! Crying on Zagreus! Still not being very explanatory about this!

That's fine. He doesn't have a time limit to hugs, he's an immortal god.

“Sorry I just, um. Reconnected with the bit of me that went with Than and. I feel lots of things right now,” she mumbles into his shoulder, still clinging.

That is... not enough for him to really understand why she's upset but okay.

"Do you want to... talk about what you're feeling? Or just hug?"

“… the gods up there are awful! They have two gods of war! And they oppose each other!! With people!!! In war!!!!”

"...ah. Yes. Than mentioned the war... I suppose it only makes sense that something that would give him as much of a headache as this would have the Olympians involved."

“And so I kind of want to overthrow them except I also just spent the last ten minutes cringing from your father and fighting them is probably super dumb when the Underworld itself is as messed up as it is and it catches everyone anyway, and. And I maybe have a home now except does that make me a bad person for not holding out for my family????”

"I... I really do not know. You said not all of you is here...?"

“It’s not but the night lady was being very welcoming and had some very good arguments to make and Zagreus I totally ate the pomegranate even after I said I wouldn’t!!!”

Yeah she sounds overwhelmed.
