[She can't help a good-humored smile at that display. It's always nice to see some optimism, at any rate.]

That was some pretty good balance.

For awhile there, [ he agrees, smiling. ] I've had practice. Not at this but with other stuff.

[A brief chuckle] Nice to know this place isn't exactly the kind of fire-and-brimstone misery you'd expect.

Every place has got the potential for that. Why let it be every day? [ He's young but not necessarily naive, so don't mind his .. upbeat outlook. ]

[Her regarding look says she's noticed.] That's a good way of looking at it. I might have to use that one sometime -- if you don't mind. [Friendly smile is totes friendly.]

[ripstides]

Why would I mind? That's the best one to share.

Heh. You're not really the type I'd expect to meet in Hell.

[Pause. Flicker of a frown. She didn't mean to actually say that.

...Eh, moving on.]

So are you one of the veteran tenants here, or just a quick adapter?

I didn't expect to meet anyone down here, except Hades. [ So he gets it. People in the underworld? Freaking weird. Especially when not all of them are dead. ]

Little bit of both, I guess.

[zerosuitjill]

True enough.

You don't seem too worried, considering. [Then, almost as an afterthought,] Not that that's always a bad thing.

I prefer not to look at it like it's the end of the world. [ He shrugs; it's actually easy. ] But I've also got a friend here.

Glad to hear it. It sounds like a lot of people arrive here alone.
