At first, it was casual.
A call home. Nothing odd about it.
Hades sat on the leather couch in his office, legs crossed, phone held loosely to his ear. Milo was seated in the corner typing something on his tablet, but the unusual lull in the room did not escape him.
"Everything okay at the house?" Hades asked into the phone, voice even. Almost bored.
Milo paused his typing to look at Hades. Was he... calling home? Out of the blue?
Rowan, who seemed alert already by the random home call blinked up, confused. "You mean security-wise? Yeah. Nothing's moved on the sensors. You want a report?"
"What about the dogs?" Hades asks calmly.
Dogs?
Milo paused. His brain was beginning to work fast. He stealthily stood up from his seat and tiptoed towards Hades.
"All in order, Boss." Rowan's voice was crisp and efficient. "The dogs are all fed and napping. Took them for a walk in the garden earlier."
