❝  all my life had been murk and depths, but i was not a part of that dark water. i was a creature within it.  ❞ the fish 🕴🕴🕴🕴
Turquoise optics narrowed at the other, a veil of melancholy clouded his vision as if reflecting the sentiment of his current interlocutor; so exceedingly uncharacteristic of her to utter words saturated with dejection, to expose own soul and feelings so readily, yet the Scion of the Sea dared not to judge, taking into consideration the recent events. Upon Tagitsuhime's and Seimei's arrival, he was apprised of what occurred within the Sea of Eternity, further deepening own vexation of being unable to reach the companion. Beyond doubt, upon conclusion of the whole ordeal, the onmyoji ventured forth onto another adventure to seek out that detestable man, whilst Taki found self compelled to witness the devastation with his own eyes, as if was beckoned to ascertain the damage done. He could not claim to possess any particular attachment to that place, nevertheless the gnawing sensation of irreversible loss persisted. Undeniably, it was multiplied for the survived residents, and yet they persevered.
"Do you still question your belonging? I have no doubt that you are a competent sovereign." For once Susu withheld personal input, remaining glued to Taki's shoulder and politely blinking at the Queen of the merfolk. Tagitsuhime did occasionally mention their uncanny similarity in conduct, though at the time he elected to disregard the comment until the moment he personally chanced to converse with Senhime.
Tumblr media
A few instants were granted to contemplate that which transpired, evaluating her decisions and course of action; albeit the drastic alterations she attempted prior, he could resonate with her intent. "With your renewed determination, the Sea of Eternity will rise again." With a curt nod, his posture bent in a graceful bow, forcing the iguana friend to hurriedly scramble onto his back to prevent detachment. Despite pursuing own ambitions, Taki deemed fit to offer aid, as one could not ostracize self from matters within the depths of the sea eternally. "If and when the need will arise, you can always count on the support of the Golden Claw and its crew, extending to my personal assistance." There was an inkling that those murky waters would be visited by the Fateshaper anew.

Tumblr media
With every uttered word the expression upon the Death's countenance descended further into murk, the free hand now claimed hold over the bottle of nectar, insistently provided. Again. Golden gaze narrowed threateningly upon realization, comprehending the true nature of such unforeseen for him visitation; scarcely an eventuality, as naught could evade the ever vigilant Fates. An utterly seldom occasion to be cornered within unfavorable circumstances, nevertheless he elected to indulge the sibling, albeit with artfully concealed reluctance. "Elysium will suffice, provided the running unrest would not catch up to us." Eloquently accentuating at the potential disturbance, yet refraining to directly naming the culprit, he pocketed the nectar and with a characteristic sound teleported away; unlikely Moros would require to employ a lot of effort to locate him once more to follow, as there was no attempt to obscure own relocation.
Tumblr media
Upon arriving to the lush fields of Elysium, Thanatos habitually surveyed the area for any signs of shades or other rogue passersby, there were a few topics that could beckon the other's attention, and none of those he wished to be overheard; hands rested in a habitual manner across his chest, as he awaited the brother's reappearance. "What was that you wanted to talk 'bout?" Anew narrowed optics welcomed the Doom, accompanied by impatient request, as the man contemplated to execute already successful tactics of evading disagreeable subjects by departing to collect mortal souls, if the conversation would shift further into undesirable direction.
"Charon is brilliant at his job, but he's not the only one with a talent to find rare goods. Besides, Lord Hades is currently away from the House, is he not?" Moros hasn't even looked around to confirm his statement, but speaks with absolute certainty. He knows, of course he does, that the master of the House wasn't vigilant at the time, as he certainly knew Thanatos would be resting as well. There is no such thing as a coincidence, especially when one has access to the Fates' weavings — perhaps a too-trivial use of the privilege of foresight. If the nectar wasn't enough to persuade Thanatos, perhaps his meticulous choice of the right moment to approach him would do the trick.
A self-satisfied, almost imperceptible gleam in his eyes presses for an affirmative answer as he offers one of the drinks to his younger brother. "And you are off-duty," he sentences.
Tumblr media
"Indulge me this one time, brother. Shall we go somewhere else? Elysium, perhaps?" Being away from prying eyes would be better for both, to preserve Thanatos' reputation, and avoid stirring unwanted fears in the House's denizens with his own presence. "I won't keep you long."

ZAGREUS ( @ask-zagreus ) INQUIRED OF THANATOS: ❝  as for that safety, i do not want it. it is only more chains.  ❞
Tumblr media
Obstinate, unyielding, determined. Admirable characteristics if they were applicable with a beneficial purpose. The Death could scarcely remember when the other was so resolute the last time, instead of rashly following impulses; mayhap a personal growth, and yet it begat a disturbing sensation within him. Lately their conversations did not maintain a presence of amiability, and the current one was not an exception. Stillness seized the whole body as those words touched upon his hearing, nevertheless not the rejection of the aid provided perturbed, but the next words that followed. "You never experienced actual chains." Bereft of gentleness, habitually concealed, an icy tone delivered condemnation; frigidity of detachment veiled the golden glance anew as it narrowed at the other. That particular wording evoked the repulsive and utterly humiliating recollection of years spent trapped. Beyond doubt, the prince obtained an account from Sisyphus, who also indisputably omitted certain details; nonetheless, that was not the primary topic of their encounter.
Tumblr media
An awkward silence enveloped the two men, his inspecting gaze darkened ever so slightly, yet with a few rapid brinks regained its vibrancy newly. With a sigh, Thanatos interrupted the whist atmosphere, and in a low voice uttered. "Answer me this, Zagreus. What you are pursuing now, is it worth it? Will you regret it in the end?" Almost as a whisper queries escaped him, a rather drastic alteration from his previous tone; yet despite the strained relationship they shared, he would not wish upon the other regret as a companion.

Utterly infrequent occasion was bestowed upon him to remain uninterrupted and rather pacified, golden optics at leisure trailed its gaze over the surface of the river Styx, which remained threateningly still, as if heralding the forthcoming commotion. A scarcely audible sigh escaped through slightly parted lips, an uncommon display of exhaustion from the Death, as his mind unintentionally wandered to the events engulfing the House of Hades recently, to its prince's continuous and audacious attempts to break free from the confinement of the Underworld. Beyond his immediate obligations, there was an urge to integrate self further within the House and assist mother Nyx, to don a protective mantle of a guardian and weather complications that might befall. The compulsion he did not attempt to dispel.
The approach of the Doom was perceived, a tangible pulling sensation of discomfort prior to vocalized greeting, that compelled Thanatos to cease idle contemplation and divert his attention from the crimson pool below the balcony he oft occupied. The other's arrival was rarely welcomed, due to circumstances he commanded, a harbinger of grave tidings; yet a sibling nonetheless. With a curt nod, the response swiftly followed. "I am free at the moment, as it happens, today is rather uneventful... Sisters want something of me?" The apparent assumption jumped off the tip of his tongue, the matters inviting Moros for attendance had to involve the Fates.
Tumblr media
And yet, upon the extraction of two concealed bottles, a bolt of shock struck his very being. "Not you too!!" A disgruntled exclamation found its way out of his mouth, almost akin to a plea, as he was subjected to such baffling and rather embarrassing treatment already. A distinct frown further distorted the already vexed expression, when another inquiry followed voiced in a similar tone. "What is this with the sudden compulsion to distribute bottles of nectar lately?" Suspicion arose for an instant, of his brother joint cooperation with the prince, yet it was deflected due to the absurdity of the notion.
starter call @nazorneku (thanatos)
As the closest assistant to the Fates, Moros knows that there is hardly a thing like coincidence — their sisters' tapestries may be intricate even for his own educated eyes, but if the threads seem to intertwine, he has found, they most likely connect somewhere, somewhen.
A similar principle applies here. The running joke of Prince Zagreus' misadventures in Tartarus, and now Asphodel, which has lightened the mood in the house of the Three Fates significantly, seems to align with his brother's increasingly bitter mood. Not that Death has ever been a particularly cheerful individual to start with, but the notion concerns him, nevertheless.
Tumblr media
"Thanatos," Moros calls to announce his presence. "Do you have a moment to converse? I will return at a later time, if you are occupied." But he is willing to bribe the time out of him to have this conversation now, as he reveals two bottles of nectar to share.

“Melancholy is His nature, Death is His name. He dwells with the morose, And aids the dearly departed. When a soul is shaken loose from its shackle to mortality, It is Thanatos who hands them off to Hermes Psychopompos. After a shattering epedemic, or a terrible event, He stands to the side as the Furies pick up their corpses like apples at an orchard. Melancholy is his past, His future, And his present. Death is in his bones, And Gentleness at his core.”
Poem to Thanatos

❝  war always seemed to me a foolish choice from mortals. whatever they win from it, they will only have a handful of years to enjoy before they die. more likely they will perish trying.  ❞ // meg to than !
Oft the Death's path intertwined with one of the fury sisters', begetting an improbable by virtue of various circumstances cooperation; Thanatos regarded the other as competent executor, infallibly loyal to her duties, thus he would maintain an image of professionalism around her as well. That peculiar remarked, however, compelled a white eyebrow to arch, unforeseen sentiment, yet utterly comprehensible. Those short-lived people burnt through their lives swiftly, akin to a match, frequently pursued unworthy goals, that gave birth to regret and despondency when the moment of his arrival beckoned. "The War is not our domain to criticize." Despite a rather judgemental response, he grasped the complexity of the concept. Not all wars were petty conflicts, some originated from yearning for liberation; and those were worthy aspirations, even if its participants would not survive to witness the results of their labors.
Tumblr media
A scarcely audible sigh slipped in between slightly parted lips, an exhaustion evident, yet one could not claim what carried the load - the mind or body. "Though, I must agree with you here, Megaera, a lot of mortal conflicts sprouted due to disagreements that could be solved with communication. One thing I found out whilst dealing with mortals is that they are exceedingly insatiable, never pleased." Condemnation saturated his every word, as hands rested across his chest in habitual manner; albeit innumerable attempts to stall the death, those actions only caused it to advance. The eyes of the gods, veiled with pity, locked their gaze onto those exceedingly irrational creatures. "Mayhap it's 'cause their lives are fleeting, they try to obtain as much as possible. Through any means." An idle musing, unbeknownst to him, escaped his mouth, a wonderment to such illogical conduct.
