Hades eyes glowed red as he stepped closer staring down thanatos 'What. His ichor ran cold and his throat was dry as he turned around. It got worse as he felt the familiar and angry eyes of Hades barring into the back of his skull. The awkward air didn't leave as Thanatos existed the court room. Waiting until the Thanatos sobs lessen before bringing him back to the shades, being nearby as the nervous god completed his job Thanatos responded with a variety of weak sobs and pleads to not be made to do it, but Hades stood by his points. this won't be the worst shade you'll have to deal with so just focus on getting it done.' Hades said in an attempt to comfort the child, though in the back of his mind he was considering all the time he was wasting on his matter. '… Thanatos… you can't let there words get to you… you need to go finish the job. Once he found him crying in the tree unsure of what to do he went to sit next to him on the branch. It wasn't that long in till Hades figured out he allowed the shade to return, and quickly went out in search for the young god. Weak sobs and tears leaving him hugging his knees close to his chest as the begs from the shade rang through his ears. Once he found a sturdy seat on the branches, he quickly broke down.

He flew away as tears formed in his eyes finding the nearest tree to hide among the leaves. The shade immediately relaxed letting him go and whispering a small thank you as Thanatos flew away as he cried. Thanatos felt lightheaded as he could barely take an even breath before quickly responding 'o-okay!. Thanatos was similarly panicked at the interaction as the old man continued to tightly hold onto his robe, begging as tears came to his eyes. I've barely been able to spend any time with them! I beg of you allow me to stay!' he moves to grab the robes that Thanatos was wearing, as he continued to beg with a horse and panicked voice. Your look quite young for a god of death.' The older man stared at Thanatos his hands shaking. The shade looked over to Thanatos and sighed 'I know. Thanatos flew and sat on the windowsill before speaking up '. Sitting next to him was a shade, exactly like the old man in appearance but looking around confusingly. Inside on the bed was an old man, his eyes lifeless. It was clear what had happened as Thanatos looked through the window. Once his eyes adjusted he saw what his job was, Hades pointed towards it. Stretching his wings he flew behind Hades, the bright sun of the mortal realm caused him to squint his eyes. 'Thanatos! are you finished! I'm tied of waiting!' Thanatos rushed out to follow Hades to the human realm. He had been around shades his whole life but never after they had recently died. He was nervous his small hand gathering sweat he attempted to wipe off on the white cloth around them. It was his first time visiting the mortal realm, to fulfill his job of collecting shades. Thanatos had grown a few inches and was currently had a mortal realm clothes wrapped around him.

how would you like to be the god of death?' Hades ask looking over some paper work, Thanatos nodded nervous. 'It's Thanatos sir.' he looked away at the ground nervously not wishing to look the kind of the underworld in the eye. Thanatos stared up awkwardly at Hades who similarly stared down at him, as his mother flew away.
