Hades did not reply at her question. Quiet, he looked down on the floor but one could tell how his eyes had gone to recall Evangeline again. That quietness, that look, was foreign to Cerberus who always believed she knew everything there is to know about Hades.
Yet the silence itself was an answer, heavy and revealing, betraying a truth he had not spoken aloud. Somewhere within him, something had shifted, an unsettling pause where certainty once ruled. It wasn't his power that had shifted, but something inside of him. His heart, his emotions, and the way he sees Evangeline.

It had changed.
He didn't see Evangeline as the little human girl he took in out of boredom anymore. No. He was starting to look at her the way he would about himself.
Cerberus noticed it instantly. Even when Hades wasn't sure, Cerberus could see what was about to bloom and knew she needed to nip it on the bud.
