Holding the armor wrapped in the cloth in his arms as if he were holding the non-existent body of his son he would look to Blake his features having wavered a bit.
"There may be room... For future trade."
Zeus would lower his head in a small bow again before walking to the throne of Apollo to rest the bundle in it.

"I look forward to such an occasion."
He wasn't sure what else to say about his obvious grief, however. But from what he could guess from the armor and the damage on it. The previous owner died in battle.
"The armor shows wear and tear. I am sure he fought with honor."

Zeus would nod.
"Apollo and Haphaestus traveled to the school my brother ran to ask him to return the Golden Fleece he stole and give the ultimatum and threats as they were due. His students got involved intercepting them before they could deliver the threat and the battle cost the lives of both Apollo and Haphaestus... In retaliation Dionysus and Poseidon took their leader hostage to trade for the fleece. However Dionysus released her having developed feelings for the mortal... A very long war followed only ending with the Fleece's return. You could say he was the first casualty of a war that shouldn't of happened."

"And your brother did nothing to stop the war?"

Zeus paused.
"He gave back the fleece, but he could not control the students. They saw Apollo and Haphaestus as invaders, and the kidnapping of their leader to be unforgivable. Poseidon even ended up fighting them alongside Hades on a few occasions due to stubborn pride's clashing with supposedly rightous intentions to bring down the evil Gods. No one stopping to ask questions, or looking into the causes, just hatred."

"Hatred and fear are easy. Unfortunately, I know that all too well..."
His own hatred was still hard to shake off, the mistrust of Qi users in general. But he was trying to move beyond that.

Zeus would nod at that.
"As can be seen in all the history of man."

"Have you filled the spot for Artemis yet?"
He'd ask, abruptly changing the subject.

"Not as of yet, the final trials begin shortly, we had to postpone them due to the many attacks on Cabal, we have been standing at the ready to aid."

"Is Diana competing?"

This made Zeus turn around.
"Ah, so you are the one she joined. No, Diana has abandoned Olympus."

"We are lucky to have her. She is very skilled and dedicated to her word. We owe much to her courage."

"I have no doubt. Her training was esspecially rigorous. Her parents are both in the monster clan, her dream of becoming a named God was heavily supported."

"I had asked her to serve as a liaison between our people and to oversee the trade we have been making with some of your factions already. Do you by chance know where I might find her?"

Zeus would walk over and sit in his throne, closing his eyes for a few moments he would nod.
"She is currently meeting with Set in the Egyption district."
