Well it's official. I've done my best to stay the hell away from all this. When my internet turned on me, I jury-rigged my type-writer to get my files typed up so I wouldn't have to deal with this crap. Alas my coworkers didn't accept my makeshift papers, so I had to cave and finally access this thing.

My name's Henry Phillips, formerly Hephaestus.

Let's get this over with.

Oh. Good plan.

Day in and day out listening to people's problems, nothing helps with the stress than taking a rocket launcher and blowing stuff up.

I bet.

I'm sorry to pry, but, because there's some personal stuff tied up in it... have you talked to Aphrodite much?

We've exchanged words. She wants to talk apparently.

Why?

I'm just... there's stuff that used to be under discussion that hasn't been brought up in a while, and I'm hoping that means everybody just sort of recognized it's probably not necessary... Sorry, I'm not making any sense.

It's okay, Persephone. I don't know what's going on, but you're clearly stressed about something. If you don't want to get into particulars, that's fine.

I hesitate to ask..what did she do this time?

...I promise I'm not trying to be insensitive. I just... she and Hades were talking about getting married as some kind of political ploy.

I really don't know if I can handle that. I hope they've seen that it's jsut not necessary at all, but... I don't know. I don't want to ask.

...yeah, I can't really be surprised after everything else that's happened.

I understand why you wouldn't, but why tell me?

Re: [Filter]

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Well, if she doesn't tell you about it, that means the plan's off, right? She'd tell you if she was

Or am I being naive?

Re: [Filter]

Seph..I seriously doubt she wants to resume any type of relationship. Even if she was, I doubt I would be. I see little reason for her to tell me, but I've become a bit of a pessimist these days, so maybe I'm wrong.

Re: [Filter]

Oh. Good point. Sorry about that.

Seph, really, it's okay.
