He lifted the Dragon up to look it right in the eyes. His green eyes narrowed at the little Dragon. The thing had bit him, and he was wondering if he could still eat it. Or pull the power back into him somehow. He wasn't sure.
"You're a little smart ass aren't you."
Well it was part of Mathew.

It would tilt its head and at the comment would throw its head to the side with an upturned chin making that samme laughing motion before a quick suggestive nod towards Mathew.
Mathew can feel the power where he was holding the dragon.

He chuckled too. Alright, the thing made a fair point. Feeling the power it was tempting to pull it back, but he wanted to know more about what this thing could do. And it wasn't fighting his grasp and it didn't bite him again. Maybe it was still his, still under his command. Kind of.
He set it down on the ground.
"Can you absorb more stone and grow?"

It would look at the ground, then to Mathew at the question. It would dive into the ground and pop back up about seven foot long three feet wide four legs and no wings.

"You..."
He said pointing at the dragon with his flesh arm. His grin splitting his face. Oh this was good. Really good. Far surpassing his expectations.
"I see your worth. We are going to be great partners."
He said holding out his flesh hand for the Dragon. If it touched him he would attempt to pull back his energy from it. His power.

The dragon would push its face forward to touch Mathews hand. Mathew would be able to obsorb the energy from the Dragon which fell apart after that.

He let out a sigh of relief when he absorbed the Dragon's energy back into himself. Looking over to his stone arm and clenching it's fist with a small grin. He was back, and with a new trick. Though it took way to long to be useful in a fight. For now at least. He was going to need to drill it. Not today, he was getting wiped out from everything. But he would make a day of it one of these days.
He took some time to just sit and rest up after that. Clenching and unclenching his stone arm as he stared at it. Thinking about what he had accomplished today.
"We are already pretty good partners."
He said with a small scoff before picking himself up. He just had one more stop on his little mental list of things to do in God territory. And that was go visit Hector and the family, hopefully catch the whole bunch there. Which meant probably around dinner time, maybe a little after. It would all depend on when they actually sat down to eat as a family. He had no idea what was a normal time, maybe fivish? But that was just going off of the things he had seen on TV. He had never really had that in his life.
He'd find out he supposed. As he made his way to Hollywood and Hades' abode!

Mathew would find the usual reaper guards who would let him through and he would find hades throne empty. Yet should he head back further he would find Karen in normal clothes carrying food. She'd look at him and laugh.
"What brings you so late in the day? Seems like a late start for you."

He had to blink at Karen in regular clothes before he looked down at himself. Still fully in his God armor. He felt... overdressed. And he really wasn't used to being laughed at. Everyone in his life was always so serious, it was an odd feeling. Especially because it didn't seem to be insulting. It was just off putting.
"I had wished to speak to you and the rest of your family." He looked at the food that she was carrying. "But if it is a bad time I can always come back."
He would probably wait in the throne room.

Karen would shake her head.
"I don't see why not. We are about to have dinner. If you want you can join. Grab some of the food over there and bring it."
Karen would lead the way to the back most room which was a decent dinning room with about six chairs. Hector was there talking dirty with Dion. Slapping Hector on the back of the head was a woman with long black hair and pale skin. Her black eyes and demeanor would scream wife and mother. She was however a perfect match to hades.
"Ah, Mathew come in please, join us."
Hector would wave.

Mathew nodded slowly and picked up a some of the dishes and would follow Karen in. Raising an eyebrow at what he saw before him. Dion and Hector talking, the Wife, Pandora keeping it PG. No one was angry, there didn't seem to be any tension except from him. His brows furrowed and he felt his stomach and chest clench up.
He wasn't sure how to deal with this. No one was drunk, no one was fighting, everything looked nice. It was not like any family dinner that he had ever experienced.
"Uh thank you."
Why the fuck is this so awkward? You wanted to catch them at Dinner. That's why you are here.
Ugh.
"Where should I set this?"

Karen would take what Mathew grabbed and put it on the table. Hector would introduce Mathew to Pandora before showing him where he could sit. Dion would pour everyone some hawaiin punch from his wine staff. And everyone had an empty plate.
"The other seats are for when my brothers are ready to sit and eat with each other again. Zack kind of stretched the relationships thin when he stole the Golden Fleece a few years ago."

He bowed his head to Pandora at their introduction.
"It is a pleasure to finally meet you."
Okay here it was! Family drama. Politics. Possibly a violent feud. This he could deal with. His shoulders visibly relaxed as he took his seat letting Karen deal with the food and Dion handle the drinks. He nodded to him for thanks, but kept and eye on him from the side of his eyes. He remembered when he ascended that Dion had given off some vibes, like he was waiting to stab Mathew in the back. Or that he was looking to use him. It was the same look Mathew gave people.
He didn't like that look being used on him.
"You need me to get it from him?"
Cause Mathew kind of wanted to kill him. He really didn't trust him. At all.

The food would be handed out and Dion would answer for Hector.
"Uncle Zack gave it back. Sent it with John Summers who became Hapheastus as a show of loyalty between the gods and Uncle Zack."
Dionysus would say as if proud. Pandora would give every a stern look. She didn't like that stuff being talked about at the table.
"Well let's dig in. What brings you by Mathew? Someone didn't die again did they?"

"Oh probably, but I can't babysit everyone all the time. And if I could and did then the time I'm not there is my fault as they would have come to rely on me."
He shook his head and stabbed his food with his fork, not yet bringing it to his mouth but rather glaring at it. Like it was an enemy.
"No, I am generally fairly hands off unless it's my own goals. I don't mind nudging but people need to find their own way. Puppets are useless."
And people who couldn't function without him holding their hand was more so. He had no use for people who could not function without being watched. Because then he may as well do it himself.
"I was actually hoping to talk to all of you. About something sort of philosophical. I had thought I would have missed dinner. So this was sort of unexpected."
