Hades did not make it a habit to visit the temple of his brethren or other God's. A god who much preferred his own company, and rarely enjoyed the visitations of others (usually his annoying nephews) into his domain, the fact that Hades was now seen in Olympus was already surprising to some of the lesser Gods to begin with. The fact that he wore a dark cloud over his face completely did not help, and as he walked with the dark mist trailing in his trek, minor Gods scuttled out of his way, fearing the possibility of angering the already short tempered God of the Underworld.
But what was even more surprising, was where he was headed.
As his trail led him to the tomea of Aphrodite, the Gods that were observing the scene widened their eyes, completely taken aback. Hades's dislike of the Goddess had not been unclear. As it was, the God had little time for the squabbles, arguments and childish antics of his brethren. It was why he often remained ensconced within his realm, and missed Olympus meetings with his seat remaining empty unless Zeus or Poseidon expressed their desire to see their youngest brother above. Only then would the dark haired God reluctantly drag himself to the God's above the clouds. But he's always made it a point to avoid the Goddess of Love, finding her not only excessive in her needs for emotions, love and lust, but just annoying all around to him.
He needed answers though, and answers only she could answer. How had a vial of love potion ended up in the hands of a Stravos girl, Hades would dearly like to know. Imagine his surprise when he had sniffed the vial when the young noble lady had presented it to him, and had to contain the shock of his mortal self when he could detect the aura of Aphrodite all over the liquid within the vial. What was Aphrodite thinking?
His steps were sure, almost purposeful as he entered the tomea of the Goddess, his nose wrinkling as he caught whiff of the strong perfume, and how.... female, it was decorated. He simply had no patience for these. Hades simply wanted answers. If his niece had proper plans, then he would simply walk away, but if the plans would interfere in the life and death that the Fates had decided... well then, he'd have a few choice words for her.
