It took time to register things, and so for a few moments, he was silent, just registering what was around him. He remembered though, meeting Melody just earlier, and asking her about who she was. Then she revealed that she was a siren and he'd asked her to sing for him. Even now, he could feel her thumb stroking the top of his hands. It wasn't the biggest sign in the world. But it was something, it meant she was there. It was enough. He'd almost smiled, that is until she asked him if he was alright. He took just a second to factor all the thoughts in his head before he could answer.<br/><br/>It was bittersweet. It had seriously hurt. Sure, it wasn't nearly as bad as Odysseus had it, and luckily enough it was Melody that was luring him with a song and not any other Siren. But even still, all the bliss was, was dreams, and not reality. Having dreams was something that was meant to be nice. Something to hope and reach for. But to see them, to feel like you could reach into the visions and have what you so badly desired, it hurt. He'd never once seen his real mother or father, and now he'd suddenly had the image of these two strangers in his head. Were they his parents, for real? He wasn't sure how to feel about it. But he knew it didn't matter either way, they didn't share the dreams he did. If his dad wanted to see him, he'd have found a way. Gods have a tendency to be able to do whatever it is their hearts desire. And for Nereus, it was clear that Dimitri was not in his heart's desires.<br/><br/>"No... I'm not alright." Dimitri finally said, he could feel his heart sinking deep into his chest. "Wait. No, I don't mean that." He said, changing his mind. She was already afraid enough of who she was, and he wasn't going to dare let his parents effect that. So what if they left? They didn't matter right now, all that mattered in this moment was Melody. "I'm fine. I just, saw some things that's all." He said, he wasn't sure if there were any clear signs of his sorrow, but he began trying to hide them completely. "You're voice is utterly blissful and beautiful though, Melody. I'm sorry if I concerned you. But that was something I just had to do, and if it was anyone but you singing, well, you know I wouldn't be speaking right now..."
