From the shadows, Hades had been watching. Newcomers. They could be so... peculiar. And hysterical, at times. But it was amazing how much they revealed about themselves in those first few minutes of arrival. A whole picture, painted right before Hades! And oh... this could be good. This could be useful. Hades had such bad luck lately (not that he was, really, putting in a whole mountain of effort).

Finally, he flicked away from his location, and wandered towards the boy from his blindside. "Looking for someone? It's unlikely that they arrived with you. I don't think that's ever happened before."

But ugh. Hades really hated having to play the "good guy" so often. For a moment, Hades was reminded of that brat kid Ico. He wondered if this one had a maiden he was protecting, too. Maybe that was this "Lady Palutena" of his.
