"No, that's...not unreasonably," Zagreus says slowly. "I suppose when you put it that way...I can see how it's something mortals would fear. But you don't go away forever, not really. Your shades still live on, in the Underworld."

Well. For a certain value of 'live', anyway.

"And I'm sure mortals never ever have really big families that fight all of the time," Zagreus says dryly, giving Teddy a sardonic grin.

Zagreus might not have met many mortals before coming to this realm, but that didn't mean he hadn't read a lot of histories and epics. Petty familial squabbling clearly wasn't the exclusive domain of the gods.
