(ooooh okay!!! That sounds like a plan!! i didn't see it, as ive been a little busy and reading a lot of the replies are a lot rn haha)
(so thank you for letting me know!!! I went back and read your post too. Do you have anywhere specific in mind as to where he is? Like is he near my characters? Or would you like me to have my characters find them on the way down to the city?)

(okay nice. They're in the house rn but ill have them come outside)

After a few moments, what Eva couldn’t tell if they were minutes or house, she opens her eyes from a short nap. The tea still sitting cold on the coffee table and her son in her lap. Though he plays with her blonde strands of hair instead of sleeping. His blonde curls in his own face, she tucks them behind his ear before sitting up.
Cassie looks up to her, sitting up as well. “Li is up” he says before sliding out of the chair.
“Hm? Oh…okay” Eva says, blinking hard before being able to see straight. Raising her hands and stretching, she stands up, letting the blankets fall off of her.
Liana rounds the corner with two plates of cooks eggs, as Eva never set them up. Seeming to have forgotten about that, she looks to Liana in slight confusion.
“Gee how long did you sleep?” she says sassily to her before setting them on the table.
Eva picks the blankets up from the floor and starts to fold them “oh i just took a small nap is all” she replies to her daughter, Eva’s voice soft and sleepy.
“Right. A small one” Liana says, rolling her eyes.
Setting the blankets down on the back of the chair, Eva picks up her cup of tea, setting it on the counter in the kitchen, he children following behind like small ducklings.
“Is it alright if we eat outside?” Liana says, though already halfway through the doorway. “Sure, ill be out there in a second” Eva replies.
The both of them take their plates and heads out onto the porch, sitting on the swing before digging in.
Eva looks down to the dishes in the sink, turning the water to see if the tap still works. Though knowing it doesn’t, she turns the knob back to its original state and looks out of the window. Her eyes skim over the view, only to see something in the distance. Two figures. A dog and…wait is that a person?!
Eva’s eyes widen and she grabs a kitchen knife. Heading towards the door, she slips on her shoes and still in her robe, she heads outside.
“Kids, stay here.” she says to them.
They both look up in confusion, “what?” Liana asks
“Theres somebody out here. Stay right here. Im sure theyre not dangerous but i just want to make sure” she says, pulling her robe around her chest so it didn’t come undone as she walks towards the figures. As she gets closer, she’s able to see a large dog and a person on the ground…a man she assumed.
“HEY!!” She shouts to them, holding the knife in her hand in case they decided they didn’t like her.

Eva keeps her eyes on the dog more than the man. She never had very good interactions with dogs, but she never held anything against the ones that didn't cause her harm.
Though being a mother made you all the more cautious, even about the smallest things. There was nothing she wouldn't do and nothing she wouldn't kill for her children.
But even so, the dog seemed obedient, not much aggression to it.
"im gonna keep it in my hands but i wont hurt you unless you try something." she states, holding her arms around herself. Her long hair falls down to her waist in the back, the wind blowing a few strands over her face and shoulders.
"i have children. Im sure you understand" she explains, her tone softening.
Liana and Cassie were in view as they balance themselves on the railing of the porch to get a good look, Liana holding Cassie's hand so he didn't fall.
"What do you see?" Cassie asks, his sad looking, downturned eyes looking up to her. She squints "mom has a knife! Holy shit!" she laughs. "shes gonna kill someone Cass." she jokes.
Cassie furrows his brows "what?!" he asks, his eyes easily glossing over with tears as he watches his mother, worried for her. Obviously not understanding the situation, nor understanding her joke.

Eva looks down to the dog, taking a step back and tensing up slightly as he sniffs her. She flinches when he barks, taking a deep breath so she wouldn't do anything rash.
The dog was cute, she didn't deny it that. But she wasn't about to be its best friend that was for sure.
Cassie was more like her, as he was wary of them. Liana on the other hand has gotten bit multiple times due to her carelessness and she still will adore any and every dog she sees. That was another reason for Eva to be weary of him so there wasn't a chance for Liana to get bit if she spooked it.
Cassie wont go near another animal unless Eva told him it was okay. Even bugs Liana would shove it in his face would make him cry. Which was okay seeing as he was a toddler.
She looks Alastor over with a nod "That's a strong greek name. Your mother was a smart woman" she says, holding her hand out "Im Eva" she says, taking his hand and shaking it. Her hands were slim and soft except for her palms, having calluses on them. Eva didn't have a threatening aura even with a knife in her hand. She had a comforting sense to her and it showed in the way she spoke and in her body language.

Eva notices the tight smile on his face, realizing she must have said something wrong. Her brows tighten into a small furrow of concern when he addresses her.
"im sorry for your loss hun. I didn't mean to overstep. i apologize" she says calmly.
"its nice to meet you as well. I regret it had to be with a knife but there's never being too safe with loved ones. Especially in this world" Eva explains to him, looking down to Zeus then back to Alastor. "Yeah. Come in. Please" she says, taking a few steps back.
A strong breeze rushes over them, causing a shiver to run up Eva's spine as she makes her way up the hill. Both of the children hop down from the railing, Cassie slower than Liana as he tries not to fall. They both shout out to her. Both as in Liana shouts and Cassie watches silently.
"WHO'S YOUR NEW BOYFRIEND MOM?" she asks loudly from the porch.

Eva's face heats up in embarrassment "don't mind her. She says all sorts of things" she says, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Liana that is so inappropriate." She scolds her daughter when they reach the porch. Liana shrugs "she brings different men home every other night. Ya know, with how many people you see around, there's no surprise there" Liana tells Alastor sarcastically, her black curls falling over her shoulders. Liana wears a baggy t shirt and shorts and no socks or shoes were on her feet. She holds out her hand for him but quickly retrieved it when she looks at the dog by his side. Her eyes light up and a large smile is now plastered on her face.
"oh my goodness!!! What a cute babyy!!" she says, poking her bottom lip out. "are you thirsty boy?" she asks the dog, reaching her hand out for him to sniff her.
Eva's eyes widen at Liana, but she doesn't say anything. Normally a parent would say "she'll learn the hard way" but Liana never seemed to learn from this mistake.
Eva rolls her eyes and kneels down to Cassie, whos big golden eyes were glued to the man and his dog, wanting to go inside. "Hey baby" she cooes, "this man and his dog need our help. You think we can help them?" she asks, tucking a blonde curl behind his ears. His skin was hot due to the sun shining down on his face, but she made sure to make a mental note on it so she could make sure he wasn't running a fever.
He nods to her, not saying anything, now looking up to the man.

Liana was officially in love with the dog, her eyes basically having hearts and stars in them as she interacts with the dog.
"oh wow you're such a smart boy!!" she says, holding his paw lightly in case he wanted to pull away. She pets his cheek and scratches behind his ears, making silly faces to him, saying inconcerent things in a baby voice.
She looks back up to Alastor "oh shit man" she exclaims, which Eva replies to with a loud snap "language" she scolds.
Liana rolls her eyes "you ever see him do that before? I bet it was super cool! Ill be sure not to." she turns back to Zeus "how could i when you're such a sweetie pie! yes you are" she says, puckering her lips as she talks.

Eva turns back to look at Alastor as he speaks to Cassie, turning to see his reaction. His first expression was shock, his eyes wide and his lip quivering. Though it looked like he tries his best to push it down so he can speak. "Cassius" he states quietly "You can call me Cassie. Momma does" he says, his tiny hand going to her robe to hold the hem of it in tight little fists.

Liana's jaw dropped and her eyes widen at his words. She fights the urge to ask about any scars or "story time" so instead she stands up and turns around "here ill get him some water" she says. "we have a well out back. It's as clean of water as we can get. Dont worry its not dangerous." she says with a wave of her hand, hopping over the side railing of the porch and heading towards the back of the house where the well was.
Cassie let a small smile appear on his lips as he tries to pronounce his full name to himself under his breath. He settles on Al until he can properly pronounce his full name.
"What's his name?" Cassie asks, looking over to the dog.
(sorry its real short ;~;)
