Bellona looked startled at first, fluttering her lashed for a few moments, before it faded into amusement and a wiry grin. "The king of hell doesn't know where his husband and future progeny are? Well, isn't this fun. If he pops up, I hope you don't mind if I bail. I have no issue with the man, but it's probably best for both of us if he doesn't find you in the company of a war goddess in your condition. Ares would be bad enough, but I can only image what the Dead Man's King would have to say about me."

Iian pouted crossing his arms over his chest. "You'd leave me to face his wrath all by myself?" He asked before pressing his hand against his heart. "You wound me." He says before giggling. "You can stay even if he comes, I'll protect you trust me Hades will do anything to avoid pissing me off, he hates it when I'm mad at him because I can be really mean and also make him sleep on the couch and he hates that. He also knows that when I'm pregnant and he pisses me off well that's even worse." He giggles again, eating some more berries as he remembers the last time he got mad and Hades while pregnant. Hades still shuddered at the mention of it.

Bellona's look of amusement deepened and she put her hands on her hips for emphasis, "I'll take your word for it, but if I end up in Tartarus or Styx or somewhere even worse, you and I are gonna fight." She glanced down at his stomach. "After the birth, of course, I can take a rain check." She swung herself up into her chair, throwing her legs over one arm, but not before grabbing a few more berries. "When is your little one due?" She asked, making herself comfortable and then summoning his chair over nearer to hers so that they could both be comfortable.

"Don't worry if you do I'll let you win and Hades will either be kicked out or sleeping on the couch for the rest of his life." He says with a grin taking another berry before dipping it in some melted chocolate that appeared before popping it in his mouth. "They are due in about 6 months, I'm three months right now, please excuse me if I don't do the whole week thing I always forget when I'm up too." He rolled his eyes with a grin offering her his bowl of melted chocolate. "Hades does it and it drives me nuts he even counts the days, I mean I know that it's exciting but it's our second lot of kids you'd think he'd be over it, cause I know I am."

Bellona grinned at him, and told him in a teasing tone, "I don't need you to let me win, dear, winning is what I do simply by habit." She laughed at the thought of Hades being kicked out on the couch, "I appreciate that, particularly give that we just met. Are you always this loyal this quickly?" She asked, curiously. She waved a hand, "Don't worry, I absolutely hate when people get down to counting weeks and days. It's so unnecessary. If you want to be that precise, tell me the due date! I'm perfectly capable of figuring out the rest on my own."

"I'm pretty good at winning too, just ask Hades." He tells her with a giggle grabbing another berry and dipping it in the chocolate again before eating it. "Not usually but there's well maybe but there's something about you that makes me want to get to know you and not let you down, you seem so different from what I was told to expect from the gods and goddess so I decided to start talking to you, Hades will probably give me a talking too for sneaking away I mean I can only take so much of him doting over me before it starts to annoy me and feel stifling." He says he wasn't one for talking but his mouth just ran away from him. "I honestly have no idea when my due date is I haven't been to see Apollo yet because someone cough cough Hades is being over protective, I mean I accidentally disappear while pregnant a couple of time and get myself into trouble and I'm not to be trusted to be by myself like at all. Hades wanted to join me in the loo and I was like you do that and I'm gone."

Bellona was caught between giggling and shuddering, "THE BATHROOM?" She asks, probably a bit to loudly. "He seriously needs to lighten up." Her face was caught between amused and grossed out. Maybe it was just cause she'd never been married, but sometimes married people were just weird. Was marriage like a drug? Did it seriously change you that much? She'd seen it do some funny things to mortals, but gods shouldn't be that easily swayed. She gazed over towards Hera's throne with a bit more wariness than before. She knew that woman was formidible but now she had proof that she never wanted to step into the woman's domain.

"I know right! I draw the line at that." He tells her with a giggle, shaking his head before grabbing a piece of banana and dipping it in chocolate and eating it. "So any lover, husband or wife or Girlfriend? Boyfriend?" He asked curious about her, she hadn't said much and he was known to be nosey. "You don't have to answer me if you don't want Hades is always telling me that I'm nosey but I can't help it I'm a very curious person." He says rambling a little trying to make her understand. "I'm sorry for being nosy you can just ignore me if you like, it's what Hades usually does when I'm being annoying."

Bellona laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not offended or anything. It's a normal question to ask a person. But no, I have no one in my life currently of romantic intentions." She shrugged, "Most of my focus honestly goes into the people I help. I help empower the downtrodden. Woman, people of color, people of varying sexualities and identities." She smiled slightly. "Since war, at least the kind of war I used to wage has become a thing of the past, I took up a new kind of war. The war for equality; woman's rights, I fought to end segregation, I fight for marriage equality. I help those who want to better the world find the strength within themselves to fight for what is right. My war became the social wars of each generation." She chuckled, "Sometimes it feels a lot like babysitting. Not much time for romance."

"Ohh sounds like a for filling." He tells her with a grin. "But all work an no play makes for a dull life, I mean Hades was dull as before we started dating he was boring. But now he takes time off even it's shocking really. So I should totally set you up on a date, hmm who to choose, Well lets start with what you prefer? Male or Female?" He asked, thinking over all the other gods that he knew wondering if there was someone she would like, he then thought that maybe she wouldn't like him setting her up. God pregnancy hormones made him weird. "I mean would you want to be set up with someone?"

Bellona looked a little taken aback, "Well, It's not what I was looking for out of this conversation, but there's no reason it can be a pleasant side effect. I haven't been involved with anyone in a really long time, so we might just end up as friends even if we do hit it off, but I'm up to try." She thought for a minute about the question of gender. "Well, for a long time now I've only found myself attracted to women, so we can start there?" She looked curious, "What kinda person would you pick to set me up with?"

"Hmm someone strong I think, you need someone who will stand up to you and you don't need someone who depends on you." He tells her with a smile thinking about it for another moment, he couldn't decide which way would be better before saying. "Or someone who depends on you, I can't decide maybe I'll set you up with one of each and see how you hit it off."

"So what do you think you'll prefer? Someone needy or someone who will stand up to you?" He asked, thinking about who to set her up with there was a few kids a camp that he knew but he hadn't spoken to them in a few months and a lot could change in two months.

Bellona looked genuinely confused, "I have no idea. I haven't had anyone be dependent on me in a personal way like that in a long time. I guess it just depends on the person." She started messing with her hair in a thoughtful but vaguely worried manner. "But no one too fragile please, I'm not exactly gentle." She was, actually, but she didn't recognize herself as such because she was a warrior and could be rather viscous when defend those she's sworn to protect. But she had wary enough about this idea, as willing as she was to try it and was afraid if he introduced her to someone she could hurt with one sharp word, she would never want to try again.

"Hmmm okay I'll make sure that they can withstand you don't worry." He tells her with grin, already plotting away about who he would get for her to date thinking about the people who he could set her up with. "You are quite the catch don't worry I will find someone who will love you." He dipped some strawberries into his chocolate before eating them, letting out happy sounds as he did so before offering Bellona the bowl again offering it too her encase she wanted some he wasn't sure that she would but he thought he should offer. "How long have you preferred females?"

Bellona snickered, "In general or exclusively? I've always loved woman, since I met my first amazonian, I love a female warrior, but exclusively only in the last few centuries." She shrugged, picking at her nails. She hadn't really talked to someone about personal stuff in a long time, not since she worked side by side with Ares. "I guess when woman started fighting for themselves as much as their children and their husbands and countries. When they started demanding respect. When I could finally see the strength and backbone, the willpower that the goddesses have, that strikes fear in every man, up to Zeus himself, in every woman." She smiled in faint amusement and shrugged, "Times have changed, and so have womankind as a whole. I suppose I've changed accordingly."
