An OUTRAGEOUS Revelation!
Irina having dropped him off, Argo felt the need to visit his friends and fellow gods of the Defenders.  It had already been a good time since his return to the mortal realm (though he had been unusually quiet in discussing what, exactly, had caused him to leave Olympus).  He had drank many beers, he had told many stories, and he had been with many women.

Some of the fangirls had been rather enthusiastic about his return.

But for now, he wished to see his other friends.  He'd heard there had been a baby born while he was gone.  To Svalin, no less!  He'd thought her only slightly less frigid than Asleif, unable to be warmed even by the Lion Cub of Olympus.  Who could have reached her so?  His helm was off to such a master of woo, whomever he may be.

He rang the bell.

Kael raised a confused eyebrow. "The what?"

"Hang on... I have it on my phone..."

Of course, Argo has a phone. Olympians have always understood Earth things well.

He called up the song.

For awhile Kael just sat there in stunned horror before slowing turning back to Argo.

"...you are a sick man, brother."

Yes, that was definitely a chill going up his spine.

"It's..I may have to read a Midgard dictionary for the proper word."

"It could be our theme song! The Sons of Hercules! Two Brothers, out for Adventure, Wine, Women, and Song!"

Kael was..decidingly confused.

"Why would we need a theme song? And I hate to be the one to tell you, but I do not drink alcohol, am very choosy about women I'd consider bedding, and I most definitely do not sing."

"Why wouldn't we need a theme song?" Argo questioned.

The rest, however, caused him to look a bit like a kicked puppy. "I see," he said.

"Do you want a list?" Kael asked dryly.

He hadn't really expected that reaction. "..we are very different people."

"We are," Argo agreed, after a moment. "But the bonds of blood overcome all. No matter how different we may be, I am glad to have met you, brother."

Kael sat for a moment, taking that in. It was..a nice thought.

"So am I." He extends a hand where Argo's outline is seated.

Argo reached out and took his brother's hand.

"Oh, good. They're being big boys now, see, Solver?" Vernique told the toddler floating in harness beside her. "Hi, boys. We just wantedto come see the patient. Solver, this is Argo. He's your second cousin once removed." Vernique blinked. "Come to think of it, Kael is your second cousin once removed, too."

Kael's head turns at the new voice, instantly recognized.

"Hello, Vernique." His face takes on a confused expression. "I was related to Solver?"

"Vernique! It is good to see you again!" Argo said, but not too boomingly, so as to not alarm the baby.

"...We are related to Solver?"

"Good to see you, too, argo. And yes. I hadn't really thought about it before, but your great-great grandmother is his great-grandmother. Not Lady Frigg. Thor's Other Mother."

Kael thinks on that a moment, doing a brief genealogy review in his head. "Oh, you're referring to the Elder God, Gaea."

"Yeah. Her." She ruffles Solver's hair. "Maybe we should just run away to Greece sometime and see how you like that, huh, sweetheart?" She jokes. But there's a dry sadness that isn't usually in her jokes.

"Aye," Argo said, upon reflection. "The great ancestor of so many gods."

Argo, fortunately, is not quite so dense as he appears. "Are you... all right, Vernique?"

Kael doesn't have the heart to say anything, but sits in awkward silence.

"Yes, thanks, Argo. I just haven't been at my best lately. Svalin and I have .... stuff we need to sort out. I'm sure we'll manage it eventually."

Argo has the good sense not to push it further. "I am sorry to hear that. I hope that all shall be well soon."

"Thanks, Argo. Definitely glad you've come by..." A thin smile. "Wish it could have been in slightly different circumstances, but... so it goes."

And Kael will shift a bit, awkward at both past events and the brawl he started.

"It had been too long since I had been among friends," Argo said. "Would that I could make things better for you."
