[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
I would say that that was more of a very nice perk. But... I am moved to ask why you would let me do whatever I wanted like that. Because you enjoy being bullied?
[He turns to face him and takes control of both of his arms abusing BARiTONES abilities. He doesn't do more than use the ability to twine their fingers together for now.]
Re: Day 458
Easily did you make friends. For work. For personal. Not unlike Azem, truthfully.
I'm not being self-deprecating, but you truly could have had your pick of anyone.
Re: Day 458
Are you certain you're not being self-deprecating? Or merely doubting your worth, hmm?
But though you overestimate my qualities, you are right. I could have picked whoever I wanted. And I picked you and Azem.
Re: Day 458
My nostalgia, was it? Not because you could bully me to practically make you anything after an adequate amount of fuss?
Re: Day 458
Re: Day 458
And perhaps I enjoyed that certain smile you had when you finally got your way. After the appropriate amount of effort, of course.

Re: Day 458
[Not necessarily true. It just might be different things that fluster him now.]
However, I'm sure you'll manage.
[He takes his hand in the meantime.]
Though I imagine you enjoy being bullied just as much.
Re: Day 458
Hmm~ Perhaps I do... if you can pull it off.
[Well, it's obviously enough a challenge.]
Re: Day 458
Right now?
Re: Day 458
Re: Day 458
Re: Day 458
Still being sentimental, I see?
Re: Day 458
Not a moment of fluster? Well, you were always adaptable.

[He drops puppeteering but pulls him close by their joined hands. He kisses his cheek, his jaw, his ear.]
Am I getting warmer?
Re: Day 458
I would say so, yes.
Re: Day 458
I love you.
[He lets it roll off in the ancient tongue.]
Re: Day 458
I love you, too.
Re: Day 458
I did imagine you enjoyed this more than the sass.
Re: Day 458
Re: Day 458
Stop.
Re: Day 458
Well, I do.
[Leaning in just a little bit closer, totally innocent!]
I rather adore you, Hades. Or do you simply not notice my eyes on you whenever you're near?
Re: Day 458
[He grouses but holds onto his hand all the tighter.]
Re: Day 458
Would you like to check which of my other skills are as sharp as ever?
