*he really is something very much approaching the happiest man on earth lately -- and now that things are, essentially, worked out, he's even feeling sociable, so he's -- not in the main room, but the kitchen, dressed in black jeans and white T-shirt, leaning against the counter and twirling a lavender rose absently in one hand

*and she'll be wandering into the kitchen, looking for -- cranberry juice, apparently, and that walk should be vaguely familiar, Joash, so watch her open the fridge* *oh, yes, and her guitar is in one hand, because the day she goes anywhere without it is a strange one, possibly*

[notperseus]

*...it is vaguely familiar, so he'll hesitate and watch her for a moment, yes, before speaking hesitantly* Hi. Er -- *doesn't quite know where he's going with this*

[whirlpoolesbian]

Hi. *headtilts* 've we met?

[notperseus]

No, but there's something about you -- *sheepish smile, and he'll offer a hand* Joash Hawke.

[whirlpoolesbian]

Where have I heard that one before? *oh, but there's amusion, and she'll shake the hand* Charybdis Next-Hades. Dis, really. Like the city.

[notperseus]

It's n-- ...Next-Hades? *activate blinking and doubletaking sequence*

[whirlpoolesbian]

...isn't that what I said?

[notperseus]

...how -- how does that -- ?

[whirlpoolesbian]

Mum's father was a Next -- he died in the Crimean War. And Dad's Cocytus Hades.

[notperseus]

...GSD. You mean -- Joffy's father, Anton? I'm apparently a Hades myself, actually.

[whirlpoolesbian]

Possibly. I thought Joffy was his brother, though. So you're a cousin. Shiny. Whose?

[notperseus]

Oh -- not Uncle Joffy, my sister Joffy. I'm Phlegethon's. *there may be a slight flash of -- not pain, but conflict in his expression*

[whirlpoolesbian]

*considers this for a moment* Interesting.

[notperseus]

*dryly* Extremely confusing.
