[Persephone is... not actually in her garden. She's sitting on the deck and the stars are behind her. Unfamiliar stars with their unfamiliar stories.]

Now, in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth, the plants are stirring in the ground. They move through it, pressing forth and digging their roots more fully into the soft earth. They grow, moving instinctively towards the sun, fighting through the thawing ground. Winter's slowly shaken off as my mother's relief that I will be returning to her flows from her into the Earth. The world warms, and birds sing and animals start to come together...

And yet I am a prisoner here still.

I tire of this place.

[Briefly, he speaks in the Aeolic dialect of Ancient Greek.] Expectation is never happy sealed in a jar. But at least this prison, when it releases you, will not pull you back again.

[Then he jumps back to his usual language.] I have a feeling I'm not the sort of individual wanted to celebrate Anthesphoria. [ie, a man]

[She speaks in the same dialect of Ancient Greek.] You are assuming that the Admiral is going to honor our agreement and not simply send me back to Hades.

[A quick grin, and Persephone looks rather amused at him.]

Well, I expect you could carry flowers should you wish it.

[He elects to continue using Greek] Has he broken his promises yet?

[meeting her with a half-smile of his own] I'll have to take a trip to the gardens, then.

[Yay Greek.]

I am an inmate am I not? I had my divine body removed as well.

[She smiled at him.]

I am certain that they will not mind if it was you.

[The language of cool kids.]

Not a comfortable experience, I imagine. If it's any consolation, you still possess the appearance of divinity.

I hope so. Do you know if we have heartsease? It would seem the best choice.

[And a floppy-haired nerdy thing pops up.] Is it really that bad to you? I mean, yeah, there's the prisoner thing, but if you don't screw up, is it a problem?

[Have an appraising stare, nerdy thing. Persephone likes unique mortals.]

It is possible I shall be returned to Hades. This is a problem.

That's... well, yeah, I can see where that would kinda suck. So keep your nose clean, right? Isn't it better to be here than in Hell? Or, uh, Greek Hell?

[You are quickly moving past the cute point, nerd boy.]

I am Persephone.

[Uhm uhm uhm, he'll try harder!? To be cute, that is.]

...oh. That explains some stuff. [He never thought of Greek myths as being real, but especially given where he's from, he shouldn't be surprised here.] So you probably don't really like kidnappage, huh?

It's always winter where I live at home. Even what passes for January here isn't cold enough any more.

[As if this is helpful :|]

We don't belong here.

[Because everything is about him right guys?]

Then someone is exceptionally angry there.

We do not belong here.

Someone.

[A dark little laugh.

This is why you don't give a spoiled brat with temper problems enough power to scour the planet of all life.]

What do they want you to do in order to leave?

They want me to accept humanity as equal.

By definition you aren't.

Unless you spend so long here being humiliated that you forget you aren't one.

I wouldn't discount that as the plan.

Yes. Man... they do some exceptionally stupid things. How are you my friend the Butcher?

You can use my name, Persephone, if you want.

I am... well enough.

I am glad to hear that you are well, Clapet.

How are you, by the way? I'd like to think you've got a decent chance of getting out of here, you know.

I do not believe this to be true. But I am pleased to see you.

You were a warden first. This gives you a better chance.

I am pleased to see you as well.

I expect there are some who would see my demotion as the opposite of that.

I don't see it that way. I think you can leave this place.
