He relinquished the hold he had on the child when Olympia wanted the baby back. Tisiphone would soon be ready for a meal and perhaps just some snuggles with Pia as Georgios had skillfully kept her entertained while his own daughter slept. That meant that perhaps Pia would have a second break while she was awake and able to accomplish whatever it was that women did when they had a moment to themselves. He rarely pried. A little mystery often helped men carry on with their days - so long as they weren't so arrogant not to thank the women for all that they do.
Georgios responded with a gentle nod. He had never been a fan of taking to the water. Something about it was unnatural with the sway of the ship and the salt in the air. While there was some of that considering they were on islands at times, but never like being in the middle of the sea. It was dangerous to go out there and be at the will of Poseidon like that. So easy for a storm or a temper to take out the entire attendance on board. It would take some time for their bodies to recover. "That and she will be growing and less dependent on just you. I give you permission to use your younger sisters as necessary." He pointed as he commanded it lightly. Imma and Nana could take it up with Georgios if they had a problem, though he wasn't sure that they would.
Colchis. They were a thorn in Georgios' side at the moment and he rather not speak of it. He had been unaware of all that had transpired when they had passed through. Words he wanted to say thankfully weren't even a dream at that point. "My opinion, it is too soon. However, my dearest, that can be something you worry about when Stephanos is back. No reason to burden yourself with it now." He would never have a say. For Hades sake, he barely had a say in his own daughter's matches - granted at least he and Fotios had mostly seen eye to eye when it was brought to the table.
He pushed himself up off the furniture and leaned in to kiss Pia's temple, much like she often did for her own daughter. "You know where to find me if you would like to speak some more. I will let you have time with her now." His hand brushed against Tisi's back lightly before he stepped away. "I know that this is hard for you, however, try not to worry yourself too much."
