Choices to make

As soon as he mentioned his love his eyes narrowed into even tinier slits, almost looking closed as he shot his father a dagger gaze. He wasn't surprised that Chrys had attacked his mother, but Nat's words to him had not been kind either. He still remembered them well, and a low growl rumbled in Apollo's throat. "How can you say it is in cold blood after what you did to my love? Did you expect her to be the perfect blood? How would you feel if you were deemed a slave, forced to behave as an enslaved?" It wasn't like he adored that she decided to attack his mother, but he would speak to her about it later. She was angry, and rightly so. He had failed to stand up for her and Hypnos and let them be claimed. "A wolf is not a creature of submission, we are animals of ambition. Chrys wanted an sedition. Her actions do not surprise me, and I am shocked that you don't agree. Was she to just sit there and take your decree?" He asked, stony words still not showing any emotion -- save for his growl. Letting out a sigh Apollo tried to relax himself, drawing himself back onto his haunches.

"To make me choose between love and family is not easy, its not breezy." He knew that his father didn't wish him to leave, and he longed to stay by his family's side. "But I feel that this is a one way path, and I do not wish to feel your wrath. Is a family not supposed to accept those that they care about? Are you not supposed to trust me without a doubt? I care for her dearly, can you not see that clearly? I cannot simply walk away from her and all that we share, but neither can I dismiss those that I do care." Apollo's eyes opened to their normal amount, searching the russet man's face. "What would you do in my stead, would you simply hang your head? To walk away from either is not simple." Casting his gaze away he looked to the horizon, wondering where his darling Chrys was now, and little Hypnos. Looking back at Helios out of his peripherals, he once more studied the man. "It hurts me so that you cannot just accept us, now that the laws of Olympus are there to discuss. If you are to rebuild our home, you can make the rules your own."
