At least till the fire seared through her and the force of her father's hammer began stripping something from her and in a way she was lucky as by the time the pain was too much it had already locked every bit of her body and kept her screams from sounding out. She didn't notice when the flame's kiss stopped burning but their absence and the lack of blows left her shuddering form coherent once more. A strained breath swelled her clenched lungs and her wide eyes seemed to notice so much more within her father's shop.<br/><br/>Staggering out of the forge she stumbled to a stop as a hammer was held out to her, gaze slowly focusing on her father. Reaching out she didn't grasp the hammer but brushed the tear from his cheek before withdrawing and claiming the offered tool. "... thank you." The mention of Morpheus draws a small giggle from her. "That's what those strange dreams were. Different forms but always the same person questioning me." His mentioning of how she'd proven herself curls her lips in a small smile even as tears pool in her eyes before she leans in and hugs him once more. "I'm glad Father."<br/><br/>Pulling back and moving behind the curtain she swaps the dragonscale for her clothes, the news of Eros's actions drawing a frown to her lips. "So that's why that happened. I'll have to keep an eye out then. Wonder if he's pulling the same stunts on Aphrodite's children..." She freezes before slowly coming out of the curtain with wide eyes. "Oh... So many family members I've not met... and siblings too?"<br/><br/>The metal cat pawing at her leg has her scooping it up and settling it on her shoulder before Redbeard's call of land ho comes through. Her grip tightens as she gives a small nod, teeth worrying her lower lip. "Many rules about things. That keep both sides balanced..." With a deep breath she moves to her father to give him one last hug. "Thank you Father. And may my cr..." She cuts herself off with a strangled giggle as she stands up. "No...May I keep making you proud Father."<br/><br/>
