[The video flickers on to the sight of a beautiful male resplendent quetzal perched on a vine near one of the statues outside the dining hall. Mal's hand comes into view holding a piece of cut fruit and there's a soft chirruping and whistling off camera. The bird is having none of it, however, and after a moment flies away. There's a soft sighWell

[Persephone is stroking one of the plants and it is responding to her by moving into her fingers like a cat.]

Do you like the plants as well?

[Way to not keep the logins straight, me.]

There are some lovely ones, yes.

If you hold one of the pink ones, the bird may come. They are fond of the nectar within them.

[A little while later, Mal holds up her camera and shows a beautiful jewel-like hummingbird sipping at a pink flower that Mal holds carefully in her hand. She whispers so as to not disturb it.]

Look. Isn't he pretty?

[Persephone smiles in return to the video, and then she watches the woman and the bird for a moment before she says softly.]

Yes, very όμορφος [Pretty] indeed. Be careful of the large plants, little mortal, or they may gobble you up.

You sound like a fairy tale.

[Persephone likes you, Mal. You remind her of herself.]

I am Persephone.

The daughter of Demeter herself?

[No, Mal doesn't sound particularly surprised by this. Because in this dream, all things seem to be possible, so why not?]

[A mortal who knows her and isn't surprised and doesn't think she's nuts. You've just shot up aces in her book, Mal]

I am yes. Daughter of Demeter and Zeus and wife to Hades.

[Yeah well, when you've decided everything is a dream, it's amazing what you can take in stride.]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

You as well, Λεξικό.

[Little bird. Persephone will be sad when you die, Mal.]

[Consider it a lesson in consequences, Persephone.]
