"Hey, you're awake finally."
Julius walked to the hazel eyed female who had emerged from the ship's cabin's onto the deck. "You've been locked up in there for a couple of days, I was starting to worry."
"No need to worry I'm fine," Hebe responded politely, "I just needed a lot of rest."
It was indeed true that Hebe needed rest after all that happened back on Messenia, the experience had drained her both emotionally and physically, but she also needed time alone to grieve. She had lost her child, the man she loved and a place she thought she'd call home, the people who were supposed to be her family were against her and her own supposed mother in law tried to kill her.
Hebe had spent the last few days crying, she needed to allow herself feel the pain of loss before she was able to pick herself back up again.
