[There's a pause as Hades eyes him, that shift from the more serious way they were speaking to...this, well. He knows that Hythlodaeus is an odd man, charitable as it is to call him only that, but he knows he has more depth to his feelings and empathy than one might believe. However, it's a struggle to get there at times, but it also means the man can bounce back rather easily, from even the worst of situations. Often times leaving Hades in the dust as he's trying to scoop up the shambles that are his emotions.

Even now, there's a lot of emotional unrest within him, feeling a little like they haven't quite finished that topic, nor quite sorted it in any way that leaves him emotionally satisfied. But, he supposes, this is what he requested, isn't it? As Hythlodaeus goes on, however, the surprised and almost curiously somber look he's been regarding Hythlodaeus with shifts to something a touch more serious.

So too does his tone shift, becoming lower.]

While you may do and think as you ever will, do not continue under the misapprehension it will be without its consequences. This is still no matter to be frivolous over, and I appreciate not such flippancy. You have not had to miss our home as I have—you have not had to miss me as I have missed you. Nor have you felt as though your name is hardly yours any longer. A painful reminder of everything I have lost—myself included.

You are still being punished, and so, if you accept as it as you claim you do, then part of that punishment is the denial of sating your curiosity. All you will ever know about it is what you already do: your actions have resulted in my fury, and it is far from ended.
