A Pound of Flesh

♤Nora♤

I swatted weakly at the bug, my arm heavy, my body still tired, then turned to Hades, waiting for him to say something.

He didn’t.

He just stood there, staring into nothing, his jaw tightening like he was biting back words.

“Hades?” I whispered.

He blinked, like he was snapping out of a trance. “Nora… why don’t you go eat and get some rest?”

I frowned slightly.

Why was he acting like that?
