Oh. Well, I haven't spoken to Lord Seteth a great deal.
[He glances away for a moment.]
I am uncertain of his temperament but assumed that perhaps he was a bit like Lord Hades. And if that was the case he probably didn't want to be bothered with those that serve the House. I understand that Hypnos and I do not quite fill that role... But...
Well, I've sort of been waiting for him to tell me to do something. [Or hoping he would anyway.] Like any Lord of a home would do.
I don't speak much to Lord Hades unless it is to be scolded for poor performance, which rarely happens, I assure you. [Gotta make that very clear that he is a hard worker and does not slack. The Zagreus stuff just got him into a lot of trouble.] Or to give my reports...
I do talk to Queen Persephone a bit and my mother too. So I feel more comfortable speaking freely with you. I figured if it was wrong to do so he would tell me. If Lord Seteth is also a God I will be even more mindful so not to upset him.
[ That sounds a bit... cold. Distant. It reminds her, almost, of how she'd been with Charlie on his bad days. Although they were together, she also understood the importance of their relevant work and how that came first. ]
Oh, please, don't worry about bothering or upsetting him or anything like that. Seteth can be a bit serious and stuffy around those he doesn't know as well but he's really a sweet guy. He helped me take in Hypnos, after all, when he needed some help. [ She might have acted a bit impulsively there but once he realized just how lost Hypnos was with how to be more functionally human, well... He changed his tune pretty quickly. ]
Don't be afraid to talk to him if you'd like, honestly. He's a lot older than me and has some pretty awesome advice when it comes to more difficult matters. A lot of the people from his world looked up to him like a father figure, almost, it seems and... I can't blame them! He definitely has that quality.
[Thanatos lowers his gaze back to their feet, settling himself once more to try and follow.]
Perhaps... I've never had a father. As you probably know from Hypnos. But we were made from stardust and the night sky and born into this world. Just one of Mother Nyx's many children but likely the the two she spent the most time with. The rest all went on their own way rather quickly. Like my sisters, the Fates.
Olympian fathers leave very little to be desired. So, I don't have a good grasp on what on what one would constitute as someone who is worthy of being looked up to in that regard.
[ She falls back into the steps easy enough. Music and dance is like second nature to her, after all, and so she hardly misses a beat. ]
Yeah, he told me something like that. [ She remembers being told he was formed of stardust. It explained a lot, in the beginning, about his struggles with his faux mortality and confusion about basic things. She had also heard about Mother Nyx but... She was biased, perhaps, due to her fondness for Hypnos but she did want to have words with his mother about her treatment of him over what she did know. ]
Well, mine also wasn't... the best. [ That's putting it lightly. ] So, I wouldn't know personally but- Seteth is caring. Kind. Compassionate. He worries for Flayn's safety. Even if it can be a bit much at times, well- It's just obvious how much he cares and doesn't want anything bad to happen to her if he can help it. He's also older and wiser for his experiences, which is a trait more associated with fatherhood than not. Life experience and all that.
But I think what a lot of people like, myself included, is that he knows how to listen. He knows how to let you speak and really pay attention to what you say and... It goes a long way sometimes, honestly, just to be heard.

What do good father's do? What are they like?
