He nodded uncomfortably. "I saw some... disturbing things. I need to lie down."

Cher nodded, helping him to his feet. I wonder what kind of disturbing things he was talking about? I don't think I want to know... "I'm glad you're back," she said again, quieter this time. "We managed to talk the gods into opening the gates, but we had to fight again. There was the drama with Jon and stuff, and Julie and I had to stay at the Greek Camp for a few days and then I drove across the country in a green Volkswagen Beetle to get home, and it was just a really weird week in general. But anyway, that's pretty much all you missed. We're having a campfire tonight too I think."

In the shadow of a nearby tree appeared Jon, except slightly transparent. He wore the same clothes, had bags under his eyes, and eternally wore his sword on his hip. Walking up to the pair, he offered a smile. "Hey, plant boy," came out like a whisper in the wind, just loud enough so that they could hear. Without extra movement, he held his fist towards Toris.

Toris jumped in surprise, green eyes wide. "J-Jon?!"

Jon managed a smile. "C'mon and fist-bump me, man. I got to go collect some souls before supper."

Hesitating, Toris bumped his fist to Jon's-- just the way that the son of Hadrs had taught him on the quest. "I'm so sorry," he whispered, eyes lowered.

"Cher's right, bro. It was my choice." He looked away as well, a bit of pain visible on his transparent face. "I didn't have much to return to, anyway." Looking back, he smiled. "We should hang out sometime. Anyway, until then." With a nod, Jon's figure slowly disappeared, leaving behind no trace.

Toris sighed. "Goodbye," he whispered quietly, putting out his hand. A plant sprung up where his semi-transparent figure had been, a fresh green stem bursting with rue flowers.

"He'll like that," Cher murmured. For what was not the first time since the quest, she found herself blinking back tears, and she wiped her eyes hastily. "The prophecy's been fulfilled, but... We'll see him again. I'm sure we will."

Toris reached over and gently wiped away a tear from her cheek. "I'll do whatever I can to get him back."

Cher smiled faintly. "And I'll help in anyway I can. And-Hey, we should let the Praetors and your Cohort and everybody know your back. They'll be excited."

"Ah-- that would be good. Please tell me you haven't burned a funeral shroud yet."

"No, we haven't We started making it at Camp Half-Blood and the other Ceres kids finished it, but we were gonna do it at the campfire tonight. Now I guess we won't have to! Gosh, everybody's gonna be so happy! We really missed you, Toris. I mean, I know I've said it four times, but it's true."

"I missed you all too. A lot. It's very lonely in Hades. And that'll be quite an entrance," he murmured, managing a laugh. "Walking in on my own funeral. Hey... is that my jacket?"

OH DANGIT. "Um... Yes, actually! We found it after the battle and, um, one of the Ceres kids in my barrack said she'd hold it for, erm.... funeral purposes. I guess I just wasn't paying attention at the coatrack today. Heheheh." She took it off and shoved it back at him. Ha! Nice save, Cher! "Anyway..."

Toris pulled on the hoodie. It looked just as it had when he left it-- all black, with a flag of Lithuania on the back. "I'm glad you saved it. It doesn't smell like blood anymore."

"Ahahaha, yeah. that blood smell is tough, you know? The Vesta kids are good at that stuff." Blood has a smell? I really need to start paying more attention to these things.
