Amber tilted her head, still keeping up the charade of not knowing what Blake was talking about. "What?" Then she let out a breath, turning her eyes down. She was still a bit tired from using her own powers to smother Kitty and Teddy's. I needed her and she needed me... I've been lonely most my life. The words still echoed in her head. "As I said, children of Hades tend to have a more... lonely or tragic backstory."
Astraea stuck her tongue out at Electra then turned back to Daula. She still kept a hand to her ear, massaging her temple and wincing. "I think I sure did."
