"I swear to the gods." Persephone mutters under her breath. Is the obtuseness for real or just trying to change the subject? She raises an eyebrow.

"I meant--well I meant that maybe you're more than friends? I know friends are great, but you know, are you seeing each other?"

Sometimes she is good at dancing around subjects, sometimes she's very cautious and kind, and then sometimes she is blunt. She's tired. She's drained. So she is blunt.
