Severus was in the underworld, doing something which he rarely did. Something that would send his mother into shock if she saw it with her very own eyes.
He was having a conversation with the father he hated so much or claimed to hate. In the words of Severus to his mother Ruby, male hounds and deities were no different when it came fatherhood. They didn't deserve it and they sucked at it and his father Argos was a cold cruel bastard.
But, times had changed and there was a lot at stake so he bit his pride, lowered his tail and consulted with the most powerful hound he knew.
It took for a while for his father to accept to meet him, which didn't surprise Severus. He was the busiest hound in the underworld after all, the Lord of hounds who once guarded the gates of hell himself. He was training other hounds.
The ones that were desperate for his approval, in Severus's opinion.
