“Do not choose friends who only flatter you, but who understand you. True friendship implies willingness to speak frankly, to point out the mistakes we made and to exchange opinions freely.”

PROSERPINA:
Proserpina had already considered the possibility of Alastor Nyx forgetting some of what happened last night… but for some reason, she still couldn’t stop the pang of frustration, the twinge of humiliation of having to be the only one to actually remember because it may as well have never happened.
It may as well have never been real.
Honestly, it would have been a whole lot easier if she just feigned nonchalance, she knows this already, if she had just dropped Alastor off to his twin last night instead of bringing him along with her. But she couldn’t further lament at the loss of a chance because of that gods damned Apollo ratting her out to Hades like a freaking child. Then, again, she did dig her own grave on this one, that’s for sure.
