Summary
"Are you, of all people, stopping me from this?" Pollux whirled around, glaring into the face of the god before him.
He felt angry, so incredibly angry, in a way that couldn't be dulled by anything. But that didn't stop him from registering just how tired his father looked, tired in a way he hadn't ever seen before. Tired in a way he didn't know Olympians could look. It didn't make him less angry, it didn't fix anything the way it needed to be fixed. Instead, it rooted Pollux enough to stay to listen. He supposed he could do that, as one last favor as a son.
"I'm not stopping you," Dionysus finally drawled out. Even his voice seemed tired. "I could tell you no, of course. But what good would it do? If this is what you've set your mind to, you'll do it regardless. All I'm saying, that I never wanted you to have to be a hero. All I'm asking, is that someday you come home."
Pollux studied him for a moment. "I can't promise that."
"I know."
