I wish my daughter to be returned to me. You have three days before winter comes.

[Have a full on Goddess, Barge. Say hello to Demeter, goddess of the hearth.]

Hail and welcome, Great Lady, but I fear I cannot fulfill your wishes, I am not mortal, but not a god, and none of us have any power over the whims that take whoever runs this place.

Given this...I suppose I should find aid in preparing your daughter's greenhouse for a cold snap.

I will remove the mortals their food if she is not released. Anything edible will be taken away.

O Demeter, it is not within my power to appease you, as I have said. None of us do, and the mortals on this vessel will thus suffer your wrath needlessly.

Yet...you are Goddess and thus should do what is good in your eyes.

I will pass on the warning.

They will not die; this ship is out of the natural order of things. They will be returned.

As you will, Great Lady.

[He wars with himself internally, wanting to just let the matter drop as there is nothing he can really do about it. Warn the humans? Why?]

[...except that with Aleera's departure from him he has officially lost everything from his old life, and he's grown sick to death of loss. Wary of it. Especially the loss of the few here who have treated him well.]

I will pass on your words to what Wardens I can find.

I can only say otherwise that I...appreciate...your position. Lady Persephone deserves true freedom.

My daughter does deserve it, Dracula.

She is fond of you.

I...

[...am guilty of husbandly failings myself, if not crimes. But at least I was man enough to let mine go! At least...I can say that.]

--I have not the words, Great Lady. My comprehension of this matter is only that of a man, and I know it. But...she must gain her freedom. She must by her nature be far better than I ever was, and there are those who hold out hope even for me.

[Wait, whut?]

She is? I mean...I...

[He has to think about this because it means...in light of his conversation with Biff...that he has hard work ahead of him in order to truly deserve anything from her.]

I am...humbled, pleasantly. I must strive to be worthy of that fondness. [Not to stake a claim; he knows better. Just because...because...]

I was fully a blasphemous being before I met her. And too proud. When I think of her I want to be better than that.
