[The video cuts to Axel, smiling tiredly. He must be in bed, given that there are pillows behind him and he's covered up to his chest in sheets. It's all white, looks pretty idyllic.]

Sorry for that... Extended absence. I collapsed while caring for the sacred fire. Gave my shinki a bit of a scare.

[He laughs a little, but it turns into a cough.]

Basically, I burned myself out. Any of you have advice on what to do while you're supposed to be resting? I'd appreciate it; nice as this vacation is, I'm gonna go stir-crazy here.

We haven't been told.

[ They were kept in the dark, only addressed after the fact even when it was obvious something was going on with those flyers going around.]

[small_reservations]

And we likely won't be. Doesn't mean we can't organize a watch, pay more attention, and help rebuild.

[moonlitknight]

[ How proper. ]

Are you volunteering?

[small_reservations]

Tch. I'm bedridden. I'm instructing.

[moonlitknight]

Go ahead then. Organize.

[ 100% doesn't believe a word coming out of your mouth. ]

[small_reservations]

[That's fine. He's telling the truth, but he knows Zero doesn't trust him.]

Where's Amaterasu staying? We'll need her permission to go ahead. I should be better soon, and able to help out.

[moonlitknight]

[ He shrugs. ]

Ask around. Someone should know.

[ Because he certainly doesn't. ]

[small_reservations]

Alright then. That's your assignment while nee-chan is out of commission.

[Gotta be a shit to Zero. It's like. A rule.]

[moonlitknight]

[ This. Look. ]

You're bedridden not delusional.

Don't go calling me by that overly friendly name.

[small_reservations]

I could be both.

Besides that, I'm the nee-chan here. Hestia's Hades's older sister, after all. Believe me, I don't like it either.

[moonlitknight]

I don't care what woman you claim to be. Don't involve me in your fantasies.

[small_reservations]

[He actually bursts out laughing.]

At least I take my role seriously!

[moonlitknight]

[ You really do piss him off... ]

You don't take anything seriously.

[ And that's the root of Zero's dislike of him. ]

[small_reservations]

If I didn't take anything seriously, would I be bedridden after fighting to preserve the core of our pantheon?

[moonlitknight]

Your pantheon. Not mine.

[ Someone has yet to accept this bullshit. ]

[small_reservations]

Wow, it's true what they say. Denial is NOT just a river in Egypt.

[moonlitknight]

[ Zero is unimpressed. ]

If you want something to do, keep a better eye on your shinki.

He's up to something.

[ Now, Zero. How do you know that? ]

[small_reservations]

...What kind of something?

voice because fight him

[kokuyoyo]

That's no way to respond to your nee-chan.

[Gotta shittalk Zero too while he's cooking.]

voice

[moonlitknight]

[ There's a loud growl on the other end. ]

Cerberus.

[ Zero seemingly ignores him in favor of patting his dog. ]

He won't taste good.

voice

[kokuyoyo]

[....Oh right. That thing.]

Worse than that, probably... and our own dog wouldn't take kindly to it.

[gdi chikusa stop calling ken that]

voice

[moonlitknight]

He's not a dog.

[ Yup, defending Ken here. ]

voice

[kokuyoyo]

...You don't know Ken very well.

voice

[moonlitknight]

But you do.

voice

[kokuyoyo]

I have to live with him.
