"THERE'S AN ENTIRE WARREN OF GHOULS DOWN HERE WHAT THE FUCK ! ?"

"Okay well. I'm . . . Going to go handle the creatures that are seeping into Hyrule from my reality."
December 9, 2025 at 12:01 AM
" . . . Okay. We might have a problem."
December 8, 2025 at 11:48 PM
". . . There is also a sliiiight, very minor chance of the blood moon drawing in unsavory sorts from my world ? Nothing to worry about, though."
December 8, 2025 at 11:39 PM
" . . . I think the celestial phenomena of Hyrule doesn't affect my reality, so . . . "
December 8, 2025 at 11:33 PM
"Ah, well, I think if ya just asked nicely, a majority of the gods in my version of Elysium would let ya visit. Assuming I'm going there. If I end up in Hell because of some shitty loophole, then ya have my permission to maim and massacre any devils in your way, aye ? ~"
December 8, 2025 at 11:31 PM
"Would that even be possible ? My afterlife would be quite different from the one in your world . . . "
December 8, 2025 at 11:17 PM
"I'm an adventurer, and the only living member of my bloodline. I'm pretty much fated to die sooner as opposed to later."
December 8, 2025 at 10:59 PM
"I'm destined to die young, probably within the next four years or so."

Shrug.
December 8, 2025 at 10:56 PM
"Stubborness is how I survived all these years, aye."

Matthias smirks, crossing his arms over his chest as he meets that challenging gaze.

"Mortals from my world are just endlessly persistent too."
" You just don't know how to quit, eh? Ever the persistent one, you are. "

Leaning down to meet eye to eye.
" . . . Maybe I would be, but aunt- I mean, Sarenrae teaches not to spurn those seeking redemption. Ya clearly are, and based on how ya talk, I don't foresee that changing anytime soon, aye ?"

Matthias just won't back down . . .

Matthias just won't back down . . .
" You would be in horror if you knew what I have done. I can't help but be sympathetic towards people. It is my duty. "

Picking at the part of the scar on his neck. Owie.
"Why hold sympathy for anybody ? Why does anything matter at all ? It's because it's the right thing to do."

Matthias responds, pouting slightly.
December 8, 2025 at 10:48 PM
"Oh, aye, actually. I led that very horse up to a glade not too far away. Are ya the rider?"

Matthias asks, standing up from the crouching position he was in - he was bent over a babbling brook, with his leather boots and captain's jacket off.

There was a slight look of panic on his visage as he approached the pirate with a sense of urgency — ,

"Have you seen a brown horse pass by here?"
December 8, 2025 at 10:33 PM
"Why hold sympathy for anybody ? Why does anything matter at all ? It's because it's the right thing to do."

Matthias responds, pouting slightly.
" Why hold sympathy for me? I don't need emotional support. How strange of you to say. "

He does need emotional support but he isn't admitting to that.
"That doesn't make yer own emotions any less valid ? Sorry, I'm not following - even literal emotional vampires have emotional support, where I'm from. Or else, they die."
December 8, 2025 at 10:31 PM
"Well, I have some good news - you can stay as long as ya'd like. The spell keeping ya here is indefinite, so . . . When ya want to leave, just jump over the side."
❝ Thanks. ❞

❝ Anything else you'd like to show me before the Styx takes me home ? ❞
Matthias doesn't need to take over, instead tracing his finger along the arcane glyphs inscribed in the wheel - allowing the boat to steer itself.

"It's easier like this."

❝ Gotcha. . . ❞

[ It seems the Prince is getting the hang of it. He is absolutely beaming ]

❝ Would you want to take over here, mate ? ❞
Matthias doesn't hesitate, moving to stabilize Zagreus and to keep the ship from tilting too harshly.

"Here, use yer legs and yer core to stabilize yerself when steering."
December 8, 2025 at 5:32 PM
A growl of approval.

"Bwuff."

That's a yes, probably.
She rose a brow when she took notice of this. She moved one of her hands to scratch behind his ear.

“How’s this? Better?”
An amused chuff, as if he's ever second best . . . but damn, does being pet in this form feel good.

He tilts his head, trying to get her to scratch behind his ears. His fur is soft and silky, but the hide underneath is thick, like armor.
December 8, 2025 at 12:53 AM
"Well . . . I dunno, I just . . . Hm."
"I'm not quite sure how to react. But this isn't bad to hear."
December 8, 2025 at 12:52 AM
Matthias gives a soft exhale, feeling her squeeze him tightly.

" . . . I missed ya, so sue me."

He huffs, hugging her back with a gentle touch.
She would get closer to him, before she would wrap her arms around him tightly.

“Sweet of you to come see me too~”
"Yer more than welcome. 'S the least I could do !"

Opening his arms to offer a hug, if she so chooses.

"Here, use yer legs and yer core to stabilize yerself when steering."
[ The Prince looks back at Matthias, smiling nervously ]

❝ Heh... This is a lot more pleasant than I thought it'd be. ❞

[ The wheel starts to turn a little too heavily to the right ]
Matthias stands just off to the side, letting Zagreus take the wheel.

Surprisingly, it's actually quite weighty, but the way the sun kisses the prince's skin, the way the wind tousles his hair, the salty taste of the air.

"See ?"
December 8, 2025 at 12:51 AM
"That's attractive to me. You, are attractive to me."
December 7, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Eyes narrowing.

"Yes. Ya do."
"I am muscular. I do not have a nice voice, though."
"Mmmm . . . Well, yer tall, muscular, ya have a nice voice . . ."
December 7, 2025 at 9:15 PM
"Mmmm . . . Well, yer tall, muscular, ya have a nice voice . . ."
December 7, 2025 at 9:09 PM
" . . . Why wouldn't I be ?"
December 7, 2025 at 9:06 PM
"Exceedingly handsome, actually. ~"
"... I am going to say that I too, am. Handsome."
