Demeter enters the Bar and stops as she feels ends and looks around expecting to see her siblings fighting. When there's no one there, she frowns and walks forward as the changes in Bar recognize her and what she brings

Apollo had been outside trying to suss things out, but there's nothing like a cold snap to drive him right back in. He's not at all surprised to see his not!aunt at the Bar after that, though, and heads in her direction.
"Did you have to go and make it worse out there, Auntie?"
He's joking, or at least trying to. But his heart's not quite in it.

"Oh, good, I know you like having one. Where does she stay?" Presumably not in Delphi as mainly tourists go there now.

"We have a camp set up for everyone's kids. Keeps 'em from being eaten by monsters as often. Right now she's splitting her time between there and some finishing school thing her parents wanted her to do. Takes a little work, but it's better than having a mummified corpse do the honors."

"I think I heard about that from Annabeth and Thalia, they're good girls. I'm glad they're taken care of when they're not off being Heroes."

"They are. Haven't bumped into Annabeth here yet, but I've talked to Thalia. Unless she's gotten out since then, she's... kinda still stuck in a tree, at home, so I'm glad she at least had something to do during that time."
Because, really, that would have been boring fast for her. Apollo's half-siblings are not suited to inaction.

"I like Thalia, she seems to be trying to figure out how to be herself. Annabeth seemed surer as did Percy,"

It's nice to see Heroes not sent out to die or cursed as much as they used to be.

"Well, Annabeth and Percy probably had a bit of a head start. Happens when you get turned into a tree at a young age."
She gets there, though.

"True, and here she has some time to grow on her own terms."
