Who: Hades and Poseidon [Open to Amphitrite]
When: Thursday late evening
Where: Poseidon's place
What: Mocking brothers while they are ill
Warnings: Language, Hades, Poseidon, mentions of violence at the least, TBD

Hades had to wonder when he'd exactly turned into the nurse maid of Olympus. All he wanted was to sit at home with his wife and daughter, but he'd felt the earth tremble and sighed. Olympian logic dictated it was his brother and he had to go tell Poseidon making the mortals nervous wasn't a good idea. Again.

He'd walked to Poseidon's apartment building and once inside his brothers place he sighed. One of the servants was telling him that Poseidon was ill and he had to question that. He had to wonder how, and what had happened. Now he waited to see if his brother would show his face, casually looking around the place, never having been here before.

Poseidon had finally moved downstairs by Thursday night able to walk around but he still looked worn and weak. It was nice to spend a night not faceplanted to the bathroom floor. He hadnt held down much more than water which had cost him at least ten pounds to his usual large form. His left arm was bound from Medusa's bite, the claw mark against his brow down to his cheek not quite as inflamed as it had been before.

He really wasn't in the mood for company, he hadn't even been very talkative with Amphitrite since Tuesday. It was with reluctance that he got up off the couch to see his older brother. With a grunt Poseidon rolled his eyes at his visitor.

When he saw Poseidon his eyebrows rose. His brother looked miserable and he applauded whoever had done it to him. Styx knew his brother had it coming. He smirked and crossed his arms. "Well then, what happened to you?"

Closing the door he sighed irritably wondering just how long this would last. "You crawled all the way out of your bat cave to ask me that? What are you a nurse maid?" Poseidon padded back into the living room with bare feet into the kitchen. He went straight for the refrigerator but only pulled out a jug of water. Food was just out of the question until he felt more of that poison wade out of his system. At least he wasn't clammy with skin that seared as hot as fire.

He followed his brother, wondering what had happened. Or who. "I do not, nor ever will, have a bat cave Poseidon. I have a house." He rolled his eyes then, "so it appears. Your tantrums are making the mortal population uncomfortable. Must we have this discussion again? Do you really wish for all of our deaths that badly?"

Instead of bothering with a glass Poseidon just drank right out of the jug, which by the time he was satisfied the jug was half empty. He mimicked Hades' talking followed by a heavy sigh. As far as his 'tantrums' went his control wasn't as tight as usual. "I'd like to admit I plan on sinking New York within the week but I'd be disappointing you," he snapped back sarcastically. "I can hardly hold down my stomach let alone the earth right now," this time he gave Hades a serious answer with sunken eyes. He just didn't have the energy.

His head tilted and he leaned against a wall. "And how exactly did that came to pass?" If his brother couldn't control what he was able to do, then Hades didn't have to sit him down again. Although he really wished Poseidon could get off his bloody high horse now and again. "And there are those more powerful then you that would stop you, and you know it."

"Is this the inquisition?" Poseidon really didn't want to discuss it, it wasn't up for favorite topic of the week. "I feel like shit, leave it at that." Clearly there was more to that story and Poseidon knew Hades wouldn't leave with such a simplistic answer but at least he was sounding more like himself. He felt so off this week with a giant hole inside that was bigger and emptier than it had ever been. Either he'd get massively pissed or he'd learn something. More than likely the former was the probable but it didnt claw away the feeling that he'd been used, his space, his control invaded--and in an entirely different way than Eros. It wasn't guilt, it was a burning frustration.

He gave his brother a long look, "do you want it to be?" He raised an eyebrow and continued to watch his brother. Knowing Poseidon whatever had happened wouldn't teach him any lesson. Styx knew Hades had tried that option. "I know we have fallen far, but we do not often look this bad. Did Zeus finally step up to the platter?"

Poseidon was too set in his ways to ever change for the good of humanity. He'd always want and would take whatever he could to get it. Centuries of tactics and hard lessons did little more than stun him before he got right back on his feet.

He drank what was left of the water and leaned against the kitchen counter. "Not really, but that won't stop you I'm sure." he crossed his arms being able to laugh for the first time in days, though it wasn't much of one. "Zeus wouldn't be so lucky he's probably too busy screwing the house maid."

He sighed. Both his brothers could give him grey hairs and he was not in the mood to play Poseidon's games. He had other ways to find these things out. Even amongst gods there were rumors. "You tire me little brother."

He pushed off the wall. He wished his younger brothers could be normal, just for once. "I have things to do, but I wish to say hello to your wife. Is she in?"

Amphitrite had, of course, been listening from the top of the stairs, just out of sight. Ever since Poseidon's run in with Medusa she had been incredibly anxious and worried. Even if he did deserve this Amphitrite couldn't help but worry.

At Hades inquiry she didn't give Poseidon the chance to say otherwise and she made her way downstairs. "Of course." She glanced at Poseidon, sure he would have said she too was sick or else had stepped out. She offered Hades a little smile.

Poseidon rolled his eyes jaw clenching slightly as Amphitrite emerged. He hadn't even felt her coming, which still annoyed him. "Yay, let's have a party, everyones here now," he said with clipped sarcasm. It may be a defense right now, but at least he had it, which two days ago he'd not had the energy to speak.

His stomach twisted inside for lack of food which made him grimmice. He wasn't about to spend another night curled up on the bathroom floor. He could hold off another day or two.

Amphitrite gave Poseidon something between a sweet smile and a sarcastic grin. It was interesting to say the least. "Darling, you seem to have forgotten about Zeus." She could have named off many more who she knew would have only irritated Poseidon. And in all honesty, that sounded pretty damn good right now.

She smiled politely to Hades and though she still offered no physical welcome she gave a little nod, "How are you, Hades?"

When Amphitrite appeared Hades set his hands behind his back, glad that he'd learned how to keep his amusement hidden a long time ago. Silently he was thankful his own marriage was going a little better.

When she addressed him he bowed his head, "Lady Amphitrite. I'm well enough thank you. I am glad to see you." And in that he was honest. He'd always liked Amphitrite and always felt like she'd gotten a really short stick.

Poseidon glared at Amphitrite not at all pleased with her tone, though he hadn't the energy to argue against her. Keeping his arm crossed he stayed leaned against the counter as Hades exchanged formities.

"You here to chit chat Hades?"

Amphitrite showed her pleasure of being called Lady, even though she would have much preferred Queen. "I trust things are going well for you and Persephone?" She had noticed past talk of the two making some sort of amends. If only Poseidon would be so kind.

She looked at Poseidon blankly. When it came to him he was allowed to talk and talk and talk all he wanted. And if it wasn't talk it was something else, and we all know what that is. "We are having a conversation. Something I don't often have."

He glanced to Poseidon, part of him enjoying getting under his younger brother's skin. "I am, actually. It's been forever since I have spoken to your Queen." He looked to Amphitrite and truly smiled. Mentioning Persephone would do that to him. "Very well, actually. She's decided to spend the Spring with me. I believe she'd enjoy it if you would come to dinner one of these days. I don't believe you've ever met my daughter."

"Exactly," ganging up on Poseidon was always fun. He took out a card and handed it to Amphitrite. "Persephone's shop. She does something with flowers."
