The door opens onto a huge, wandering garden still waiting for the first touches of Spring.

Demeter holds the door for a moment and makes sure that it stays to the Bar as she rests her other hand on Ben's, watching him carefully.

She hugs him quite tightly,

"Shh, no need to speak more of it."

Created for death and war, that makes her so angry but she won't show it to him. A nearby tree shakes in an unseen wind as she commits that name to memory, Manticore.

He's not really used to hugs. Those are... foreign to him just like a lot of other things. Then again he's not an Ordinary. But instead of pulling away he just leans into the goddess.

For now he's a content kitten. The tremors have close to faded. So he'll be fine and she's there. He's safe. It's what mattered.

She holds him for a time and soon he sleeps.

The night is quiet and for once the house doesn't seem too large and the wait for her Kore isn't as long.

When he wishes to return to the Bar, the door will be there but for now, he's held in a mother's arms.
