Making The Rounds

On my way back to the Thanatos, I picked up a few handfuls of snow and used them to clean my face. As I arrived in front of the Thanatos, I was greeted by two familiar faces.

"Oh Apollo, welcome back." Janet said with a happy smile on her face while being hugged by Ernie from behind who gave me a simple nod.

"Hey guys, I won't be staying too long, Just saying goodbye to everyone and thanking you all for being so hospitable." I said to Janet which caused her to slip out of Ernie's arms and come give me a little hug. "Oh aren't you nice. I am sure everyone will appreciate that, I know I have." 

After Janet hugged me, Ernie walked over and looked me in the eyes. There was still clear traces of pain from losing his brother in them, but thinking his brother died valiantly had eased his burden greatly.
