You know, I remember when Mother had you. You were this red-faced, angry, squalling thrashing little infant. You'd hold on to everything anyone offered you and try to beat them with it.

*smiling faintly, holds out a small package containing an extremely expensive watch* Do you want this, or would you rather I just left you to sulk? After all, I wouldn't want to be reminding you of the passage of time.
*takes it before answering, because he is a Hades, and then shoots her something of a dirty look* You insult me. I'm not the kind of person to turn down free stolen goods. *-- and proceeds to open it, and that's actually a slight grin* How nice.

*examines the bottle for a moment* What makes you think I have Mummy-issues, pray tell?
