*In the Underworld*
Leodocus had just watched the love of his life walk away from him leaving him feeling disheartened and frustrated. She never even told him she loved him back, that was not like her at all and it worried him. The biggest concern he could have ever had about this ordeal was that it would fail again or worse that Xanthippeia would not make it out alive. But this he couldn't have anticipated, the coldness and indifference she displayed towards him worried him more than everything because if Xan was changing her feeling then what was all this worth and could he even accept it if she wanted nothing to do with him anymore?
"…I still vote we kill her and be done with it."
"And I vote you keep her a prisoner until we can figure out how to—I have no idea what but we have to think of something."
"Why bother even wasting our time dragging this out any longer!?"
