If Dirk's into it and wishes for him to continue, that's a good sign. That, and it seems like Hythlodaeus is keeping up—he isn't surprised, that's very like him. That, and what Dirk went through isn't horribly abstract from what their own reality foisted upon them. Their troubles were reality spanning, and nowhere near the mundane troubles that someone like Steven deals with.
However, Hythlodaeus' question...well. It's an astute one, again not surprising. Indeed, if Dirk is his universe' Elidibus and by extension Zodiark, then there was bound to be someone to oppose him. Someone foolish enough to do so.
"She is named Calliope." Hades answers simply enough, glancing to Dirk for a moment, before turning to Hythlodaeus, "and she is every bit as a petulant spinner of lies as the mortals' dear Mother."
He's about to add more, but then...Hythlodaeus begins to brush his Pokémon at the table, and Hades' face scrunches with distaste.

"Really. At the table? Can this not wait?"
