“Hades shouldn’t be all that important to me, but he is and let me tell you why: I lived as an unloved princess. Yes, the Anemoi gave me all their unconditional affection, but it could never replace the love of a parent. I am someone who wished for death, someone who tried to take her own life. I would have, if it wasn't for Hades. He said my time wasn’t well spent and I should continue living. That was the only time I heard his voice...but I yearned to hear it again. And like the naive child I was, I prayed to him despite knowing the consequences. Even if he doesn’t answer my voice, even if he doesn’t hear me call his name, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s saved me.”

*To give a little context for this line: you are facing someone who is criticizing your means of affection towards Hades because he doesn't understand how you could love the person. There is little punctuation in this scene because you are proud of your feelings and don't falter in your conviction.

“You know, I was worried about you for a second, but you must be fine if you can yap that much.”

*To give a little context for this line: you have found someone washed up on the beach to find them still alive after being bombarded by waves. You have Notus (see below) dry him off and he casually drops a flirtatious line.

"We all struggle in different ways, Pandion. Your struggles and mine are incomparable."

*To give a little context: Pandion (your  little brother) is heir to the throne. He is jealous that four gods have blessed you with unimaginable power, while he feels inferior. 

“I mean...I was supposed to be married at eighteen. I’m now at the age of twenty-four, having escaped marriage for so many years. I think that’s thanks to you.”

*To give a little context: You are having a conversation with your mother who you've never spoken to one on one before. She is feeling vulnerable and guilty for the things she's done leading to your arranged marriage and you try to make her feel better.
