Hades sighed. "I know, it's just... Keeping a mortal down here. The Olympians haven't allowed it, ever, and I doubt they will let her stay, even though her father is a god and her grandfather is an Olympian. I know she seems to like it here, but... I don't want Thanatos to get attached, because it will break his heart when the other gods make her leave."
Maria, a smile blooming on her face as she realized that Thanatos was sound asleep, took her leave of the house, taking her lyre with her. The souls had dispersed and... She giggled. Taken most of the food with them, it seemed. She snagged a leftover brownie and bit into it, savoring the sweetness. She loved sugar, and so very rarely ate it because of the upset stomachs she'd get. But one brownie couldn't hurt her.
Finishing her brownie and dusting the crumbs off of her hands, she took her leave of the house, walking towards Hades's palace. She was stopped by a skeleton guard chattering at her. "I'd like to speak to Lady Persephone, if she has the time." Maria murmured. "If it is convenient for her."
