[ At first the way he comes to a stop causes her to fear she said something to upset him, but she has no intention of abandoning him now.
This boy reminds her almost of Hades when they first met—quiet, focused, and insular to the point of seeming disdainful. It wasn't long before the dry, witty commentary could be coaxed from him, and eventually it became readily apparent that he was someone who thrived in the company of others, even if he so rarely sought it out.
Of course, Hades still is rather quiet and insular, though he now comes across as more exasperated than disdainful (largely thanks to her), and his kindhearted nature is the worst kept secret in all of Amaurot.
So when the boy smiles (tentative; unpracticed. she almost wonders if it was his first) Hemera can't help but beam back at him, warm and radiant as everything else about her. ]
So... [ She intones, almost playful. ] Does that mean you'd like me to throw hands with him for you?
