Summary
“You look gorgeous in that dress, by the way.”
The goddess snorted. Ah. She rolled her eyes, unwilling to play into his weak attempts at flattery. Had she not made it clear enough that his sweet talkings meant nothing to her?
“I have not had the courage to tell you earlier, so I thought I'd better do it now, before you change into something different.”, he explained.
Kore paused in her walk and he immediately stopped with her.
“My dress is ruined.”, she scorned, glaring at him. “You will not see me in anything but the tunics you gave me until I have fixed it.” And fixing it would take some time, unfortunately.
Hades looked down at the floor, his voice growing quieter.
“I am sorry.”, he mumbled, as if it had been his fault that her clothes had gotten turned into shreds and that she had to wear those dark, gloomy dresses now.
She clicked her tongue in disapproval.
“No, you're not.”
And she could see the way he tried to suppress a smile at that. She knew he secretly enjoyed that sort of influence he had over her now, that little bit of power. She shook her head at the way he did not deny it.
