Hades freezes for a moment not daring to hope he could see his son again, He wasn't sure what Nico's thoughts on him were, but family was family. Part of him couldn't help wondering if this was some trick of Zeus' some way to lure Hades into a trap and deal with him once and for all. Happiness just wasn't on the cards for those of the Underworld. "My son is here," he asks his tone hopeful, "is he well...safe?"

His feelings on Apollo were less complicated then those on his siblings, Hades found the sun god flighty but hard working and had always been content to let him do his work in peace. "You need not fear me," he says calmly, "I am not at full strength nor do I want to harm anyone here son of Apollo. I have no idea why I've been brought here, but if my son is here I can hope his sister and my wife will soon arrive. Who is the other godling who is here?"

His natural instinct is to protect the children as his brothers and sisters would expect. Hades was the oldest of Rea's children and it was his duty to do so. "I am pleased all of your remember to honor those who sired you."
