Hearing the sounds of chaos coming from the direction Hera had disappeared in, Hephaestus couldn't help a small smirk. He had never been on good terms with the queen of the gods, and his own mother, and that wasn't going to change now. He was secretly a little pleased that she too had been kicked out of the hall. Hera seemed to always see herself above everyone else, and such took it the hardest when that status was pulled out from under her.<br/><br/>Seeing Ares approach, Hephaestus wondered where the god of war had been, but decided it was maybe for the better that he had been late. Had he been here during the actual meeting, they Area would have no doubt sided with Hera. Sure it had been thanks to the god and his love of battle and war that had given him the most opportunity to work his craft and be recognized by the humans, but that didn't mean that the answer to their current problem was to fight.<br/><br/><br/>Apollo heard Persephone comment on his own statement and laughed.<br/><br/>"Can't say I'm too fond of hanging out with the dead, and Hades doesn't strike me as the type to grace the light too often. Guess our date is off." The god wasn't completely opposed to getting to know the king of the Underworld, it just wasn't very high on his to-do list. And now with what was going on, it was slipping further down. Turning back to Aphrodite, Apollo once more answered her question.<br/><br/>"Starting over seems like a long shot, I mean, what's to stop humans from resisting? They've grown comfortable in their ways in much the same way we have." The sounds of Hera's anger also reached his ears, and Apollo couldn't help but jump on Aphrodite's comment.<br/><br/>"Seems she has no problem with a little change!" Apollo commented, not bothering to try and hide his grin, even as the god of war himself approached. "And right on cue as tempers rise."<br/><br/>Turning to face Ares, Apollo addressed the god's question.<br/><br/>"Just a little sibling bonding --" He paused as the sound of a vase smashing echoed towards them. "And the usual chaos that seems to follow you around."<br/><br/>Hearing the sound of the gong, Apollo's grin fell a bit.<br/><br/>"And now we get to find out the rest."
