Persephone was mad; the way she was hitting Hades with a hand fan and the man's reaction made me close my eyes and stop myself from laughing out loud.
The Queen of the Underworld was small. She could barely reach Hades' shoulder, yet the man was wincing with each impact. I could also feel Duncan shaking from laughter. I took a glance at Colin; his back was to us, and I could see it shaking.
Riley?
She was slowly turning pale.
"Agápi mou," Hades softly said, "Stop, Julie's friend…"
Hades only whispered, but I could hear him as if he were speaking in a normal tone. I noticed that as well. I could hear whispers; I just ignored it. It was rude to eavesdrop.
Persephone took a deep breath and slowly approached Riley. The other woman looked at her, and we could see the fear in her eyes. It broke me. But I think it's Persephone more.
