Bentley nodded for a moment at her comment. He then watched the creature take the apple, and his brow furrowed in focus of watching it.

The greedy creature took a large bite then. Died " Poison, useful I guess." Aednat shrugged turning around " Wanna see what normally happens?"

Bentley took a couple steps and gently nudged the dead animal. Turning to the daughter of Hades he answered,"Sure."

" Would you mind poking that tree? I don't want it to be a Dryad." The pale girl pointed to a small sappling in the large woods

The demigod walked to the young tree and pushed the small base of the tree half-heartedly. It slowly swayed back and forth.

The daughter of Hades shrugged then poked it experimentally. The area where she had touched turning black and slowly fanning out in the pattern of trees wandering out and as it left the bark and wood turned to dust .
The girl slowly watched as the tree withered away to nothing " And that is why i don't touch people."

Bentley said nothing for a moment. He then mumbled,"I'm sorry." Deep in the pit of his stomach was a horrid feeling for this girl. The tall fifteen year old shook it off and a question came to mind,"Can you eat food with.. you know.." Ben felt bad for asking a question like that, but he was curious.

The girl reached into her pocket pulling out small black and silver gloves " These, I can eat food. but it always taste a little like ash. Seems like all of Hades kids are cursed huh?" The girl turned pulling her mass of black curls into a ponytail " Why are you sorry? It's not your fault. I was given this fate, and I've learned to get around it."

"Well... That is just a bunch of crap. I feel bad because that sucks and people don't deserve that... Well I'm sorry for you and people deserve hugs and you can't have hugs," Bentley answered sadly, looking at Aednat. He hadn't really thought about his answer and more of just said it. After realizing what he said Ben smiled and looked at the ground.

Aednat smiled " I honestly don't know what a hug feels like. So I can't really miss what i don't know, but." The girl smiled " Thanks." Aednat hummed softly " But we can not fight who we are, all children of Hades aren't really loved. A god everyone hates, children made out of an affair, so. We get curses. Having jewels show up where you walk, the dead rising when your angry, not being able to touch anything without gloves or long sleeves, this is the fate we carry out. It's just part of who we are." Aednat shrugged and pulled her bow notching a bronze arrow " It's part of being a demi-god, even your father has children that are born with curses, no one is truly free of it."
