Matilda had gone to do a little wandering around amongst the other guests. Well. She supposed guest wasn't really the right word here, at least not for her. Dangerous as this place was, and as worried and scared as she was for the others and herself, this place still felt more like a home than her house back in her world ever had.

It was hard to keep herself in such high spirits, try as she might. She was scared of what might happen to the others and what might happen to herself and all the people gathered here should they fail.

Hades chose exactly that moment to slam the door of his suite room open. How could have he forgotten his cigars? You couldn't watch a nice, bloody sport without cigars. And as he stalked in search for his precious, he nearly ran over Matilda. The god flailed somewhat, barely avoiding to get tangled up - he refused to shorten his toga, thank you - or Fates forbid, fall flat on his face.

"You!" He pointed a pointy, blue-pink finger at the girl, glowering. "Why aren't you taller?"

When Hades nearly tripped over her Matilda instantly ducked to the ground, throwing her hands up over her head. After feeling no pain she opened one eye and blinked up owlishly at Hades. The whole situation might have been comimical if not for the fact that he was.

Well. Terrifying looking.

"U-um. Because I'm only six?" The answer sounded more like a question. She was not taller because she simply wasn't. Somehow she didn't think getting snippy would be a good idea.

Hades harrumphed impatiently, running a hand down his toga to make it fall the right way again.

"That's no excuse to be a midget!" He waved his hands emphatically. "Eat some broccoli or sacrifice a goat! No, wait, the goat is to get a husband. A cow! Cows are for growing. Honestly, children these days don't know how to do things properly anymore!"

Matilda wrinkled her nose at that. This guy must be from a time long, long ago if he thought sacrificing a cow would help.

...but then again maybe in this world is helped?

"I'm. I'm pretty sure that's illegal where I come from." Actually Matilda wasn't sure at all about that. Was it? Now posed with such a question she was determined to find out, but that would have to wait for later.

Hades gave her a flat look.

"Nothing stopping you here though, is there? Really, you have more excuses than Ulysses."

Snide comment aside, she instantly perked at that.

"Ulysses? You mean he was real?" So that explain it. This man must be from way, way, waaay before her time, in the time of Ancient Greeks and Romans.

"Of course that little upstart brat was real!" Hades glowered, momentarily turning pink as he started ranting. "Barging in as if he owns the place of something! You put rivers, furies and a three-headed dog at the entrance, and these uppity heroes still make it look like a revolving door! At least Orpheus had the decency to make a bargain!"

Matilda jumped at that but to her credit kept her ground, and after a moment she cleared the small knot that had formed in her throat.

"I'm sorry. I guess I'm still getting use to this whole 'different worlds' thing 'cause all that is just myth where I come from."

A cautious pause and then "W-who are you?"

"A myth!" Hades bellowed, turning bright red, before he took several calming breaths. He lifted the pot on his head to run a hand over his scalp once as he returned to his subdued grey-blue coloring. "Alright, alright, I'm good." He peered down his nose at her. "Hades, God of Death, yadda-yadda," he rolled his eyes and ruffled his toga again, "fight hasn't started yet, has it?"

It was at this point that Matilda was backing up a little, ready to run if the guy decided to go kamikaze and take her down with him.

When he introduced himself she couldn't help but stare incredulously. She was still scared out of her wits and a good distance from him but she shook her head.

"Hades. Does that mean you know the Shini guy at all? I mean...different worlds but if you're the same as him." She was just fumbling for words now to try and keep him from getting angry again.

"I think we're cousins, about fifty times removed. Or something like that. I'm no good on micromanaging the family tree. I mean, who'd want to micromanage the family tree?"

Hades gesticulated around, pacing for a moment as he gathered his wits.

"Lucky guy got the better part of the deal, too, I'm sure. Doesn't sound like he's being overworked here."
