"You thought you killed Cerberus?"

That's - well, it effectively distracts Orpheus from watching himself get mauled by a giant, three-headed dog, so that's something. He's not really sure how to react to that, now looking at this now considerably more mysterious woman with wide eyes. Behind him, his memory-self reaches out and places his hands on one of Cerberus's snouts, trying to keep him from going for his face while he grits his teeth and sings a soft melody, shaky with the pain and adrenaline but surprisingly clear under the circumstances.

The effect is almost immediate, Cerberus's ears perking up as he slowly lets go of Orpheus's leg, taking a steady step backwards and sitting on his haunches, one head cocked to the side quizzically. Just like that, he's as tame as anything, panting softly but otherwise still and calm.

"Um," says present-Orpheus, once the initial shock has worn off. "I'm Orpheus? But, who are you?"
