Sure!)) Of course, since Zeus was just as hotheaded as his illegitimate daughter, she was there in a flash. Quite literally, a flash. Of lightning. He was ten feet tall, with jet black hair, and angry looking blue eyes. She released the bolt just before he called it, seeing as it would probably tear her skin should she have held to it. "Father." She greeted simply, bowing her head. "We meet." She said, her voice flat as she stood, watching the God sit and observe his precious weapon. Then, his attention flicked to the two demigods that had returned it, as though they had done some sort of disservice. His gaze lingered on Temperance; and perhaps softened, but it was hard to tell. "Indeed. And you have brought not only my companion, but my brothers problem up to my home. One would argue they are enough to cancel each other out." He growled, looking at Zephyr with obvious distaste. Temperance rolling her eyes and didn't bother to stifle an irritated sigh. "Well, Zeus, an unloved child is almost equivalent to a faithless one. He is here, is he not? Like me, to return the bolt we retrieved from the depths of Tartarus simply to give back since you were too busy with your ethereal duties to do so. In turn, Hades did no such harm to me in his realm. It would be taken wrong, should you pursue negative action." She said coldly, crossing her arms and glaring up at the man twice her size.

(NOOO HOW CAN ZEUS HAVE BLACK HAIR... *me realizing in the new Percy Jackson show he was literally black* 0-0 okay. Nevermind) - Zephyr stood when Tempe did, his gaze somehow even colder than Zeus', though he only looked at the big god with a definitely not glare when Zeus started speaking of him. He opened his mouth to speak, obviously irritated, when Temperence took over. Hey, he had asked her to do all the talking. Anything he said would probably get him killed. He tightened his jaw slightly and didn't lower his head, showing no signs of weakness, but also didn't stare straight at Zeus the whole time. The god of lightning always looked like an angry popsicle stick to him, and that along with a billion other reasons was why he was very glad the gods couldn't read minds. As she said Hades did no harm to her Zephyr ALMOST laughed. The god of the underworld was about as harmless as a mosquito. Annoying at times, but essentially harmless. However, Zephyr did not underestimate Hades, and knew the god could easily kill everyone. So he would be respectful and faithful while disliking how Hades did things. The least he could say was the god was lazy.

Bro when was the last time you read the books? All three major gods have black hair xD Youd think he was a blondie but no)) Zeus glowered down at her, for perhaps the first time, looking a little uncomfortable. "...very well. I suppose it's only right I return his courtesy." He muttered, smoothing one hand over the other. "I suppose you've both come to ask for some kind of boon?" He asked, irritation plain on his face. Temperance shook her head, slightly saddened by his utter disregard for her existence after her task was completed. Then again, he was Zeus. He didn't care for his half mortal child enough to greet her the first seventeen years, why start later? "A boon comes later. You owe us a favor, King of Heaven. An irrevocable, standing favor to be recalled at any time." She said simply, bowing her head. "It's been a pleasure, your highness. I assume, since our use has been outlived, it is time for us to go?" She asked boredly.

(I forgot! I haven't read the main Percy Jackson series in years! And yeah I wouldve thoight blonde but nooo Also in the new tv series Posideon has reddish brown hair) - Zephyr glanced up to see the LOOK on Zeus' face was PRICELESS. Only Temperence could make Zeus himself uncomfortable. Zeph had to hide a smirk as he ducked his head to not get smitten right there, amused. He had to look up against to watch the irritation grow on the god's face, though. Honestly now he felt bad for Tempe. Yes Hades had totally not cared about Zephyr at all, which he still didn't think was entirely true- he was holding onto the hope somewhere deep down Hades didn't want him to die- but Zeus looked plainly irritated and rudely unconcerned. Like he didn't care if Tempe got swallowed by the earth. Her words were cunning, and Zephyr really didn't know how she had learned to talk like that. If I wasn't a rude remark or snappy comment towards him, it was smooth talking a god he guessed. For the sake of his sanity, Zephyr did hope Zeus just waved them away, but he also was angry and wanted the god to acknowledge Temperence's EXISTANCE. She had gone to the depths of Tartarus and almost DIED for him and he was acting like this? Stupid selfish lightning bolt guy.

The new Percy Jackson kid is absolutely adorable dude)) Zeus opened his mouth to reply, but he also couldn't deny them a reward after completing a task he had specifically asked for. "Very well." He accepted quietly, waving his hand in dismissal and seeming quietly troubled. Tempe lifted her head and turned on her heel without another word, doing her best to fight the electricity crawling under her skin. She walked wordlessly back toward the elevator. Zeus paused and let out another sigh, holding his hand out. "No. The Hades boy can go, but you, my child, stay." He muttered, watching her. Temperance stopped and grit her teeth together slightly. "Anything you would like to say to me, can be said in front of the Hades boy." She said calmly, turning and setting a hand om her hip.

Zephyr was pretty sure he had a death wish. He was about ready to fall on the floor in laughter. Of course. Only she could make Zeus troubled, or flustered. ZEUS! THE KING OF THE GODS. Zeph didn't even want to figure out how she was doing this. If the came words came from him they'd be dead by now. Maybe Zeus did hold some value for their own daughter. Zeph turned to follow, pausing when Zeus spoke again and turning with a slight glare. For one he didn't appreciate being called the *Hades kid* he was his own person not just a carbon copy of Hades. For two, Tempe was right! Zephyr wasn't going to ditch her here with Zeus. Especially with Zeus. And EUGH. Why had Zeus said *my child* like that!? The god didn't care about Tempe for 17 years and now they were calling her their child? NOW? At least Hades didn't have giant mood swings! *I look like I want to kill you. Leave. No wait. My child come back. Don't leave me. I need to speak to you my child*. Creepy.

Zeus pursed his lips slightly, watching her in silence. "Temperance, come here. You, boy, leave." He hissed, getting a little angrier now that she dared to disobey him outright. Tempe clenched her hands into fists and then sighed. "You do know my name. Interesting." She quipped, turning to Zephyr and trying to seem as sure as ever. "It's alright. Wait for me by the elevator?" She asked quietly, shifting her weight slightly.

Zephyr's eyes narrowed to slits and his cold gaze fixed on Zeus. He looked to Tempe as she turned towards him, pausing for a moment before leaving quickly without a word. It'd be better if he didn't speak. Oh how he hated Zeus. Still, a small part of him was rather depressed now. The stuck up god of the lightning and thunder wanted to talk to his daughter and knew her name, but Hades would barely acknowledge Zeph existed. Zephyr ducked his head and closed his eyes for a moment. Why was he even loyal to Hades. No one, absolutely no one, cared enough to care if he lived or died. Not even his own father. Zephyr was just a mistake that never should've happened. He finished walking to the elevator before resuming staring at the ground, a deep rooted grief etched into his face. He hated realizing no one cared over and over and still having hope someone did, just to find they didn't. Again. And again. And again. And again.

Tempe swallowed nervously as he moved off, watching him go before she made her way slowly back toward Zeus. Both of them seemed unsure now. Zeus ended up going on about something with her, something that obviously upset her more than anything else. In the end, after a brief but apparently heated discussion, she turned on her heel and strode off, right back toward the elevator. She took a few breaths to calm down, trying to paint on something closer to a smile. When she saw Zephyr, his back was to her. She took a few running steps and hopped up to curl her arms around his shoulders, chuckling slightly. "We're done." She grinned, struggling to stay where she was because, one, Zephyr was not easy to climb, and two, he was too tall for her to get a good grip. Edited at April 22, 2024 11:20 AM by Widow Valley Farms

Zephyr pretty much just massaged his temples and tried not to let his head explode from horrible depressing thoughts while Tempe was having a conversation. He wondered what would be the least painful way to die. Obviously in your sleep, right? So what would be the most painful way to die? Or the most terrifying? Zephyr already knew the answer to that one. The most terrifying way to die for him would be drowning. He shuddered at the thought. He hated water. With this going on in his mind he did not realize someone was about to try and bowl him over until Tempe was half on top of him. He staggered forward slightly with a yelp of surprise, twisting around to glare at her. "Whaaaat was that for? You almost gave me a heart attack! I'd rather die a much more valiant way thank you very much!" He huffed, sucking in a breath to try and slow his heart which was honestly trying to beat faster than a drummer in a Metallica song. "But done. That's good. We're done and not dead. Let's go so I don't push my luck."
