Hephaestus had to consider.  "I thought it was Ares for the longest time.  He thrives on conflict... images such strengthens all of us.  But what he said on the island of Aglu, it made me have to widen my scope of inquiry."  He paused, taking another deep drought from his glass before continuing.  "There are so few of us.  We are... spread out quite far.  Hades assumes this is my responsibility.  So... its my labor to clear my reputation.  It wasnt until I started investigating this list that... well.  Things started to happen."  Finishing his goblet, he set it down which the automaton dutifully refilled.<br/><br/>His eyes were cast off far away as he considered all she spoke of before finally allowing his gaze to be brought back to hers.  "I am worried.  I know you are not a child, but whoever is doing this... is powerful.  Not many can walk by Kerberos and live.  So that makes you<em>very</em>breakable."  It went without saying that what happened to her with Poseidon was about what could happen again.  He considered what she said.  "Do<em>you</em>think it is Ares?"  It went without saying he was happy because of it... when else did he get to unload his martial power.
