[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!]
Long ago I would have said yes or at least implied it. Wanting to be fawned over and worried for without a doubt. Not that I do not longer enjoy these affairs, but my priorities have changed.
Rather than jealousy I would simply want those that I love happy with whatever and whomever would bring such joy.
[He smiles at that, visibly soothed. Maybe he just wanted attention and validation, really. But also now that he's given it, he's going to be a spoiled little princess.]
Then... in the meantime, I want a gift from you. Something else I can keep with me to remind me of our bond.
[He squeezes his fingers before he shuffles around the room. Picking a gift for Hythlodaeus is not as easy as it appeared. It had to be special. To be unique. Something that could properly convey the bond they shared.
Not any bauble would do!
So when he returns, he stands in front of him. A weight falls on Hythlodaeus' forehead and cheeks. A mask of crimson red with dual white arcs and a scowling expression.]
[/// CUTE... He returns the kiss, taking Emet's hands into his gently. Despite the fact that he sounds as playful as ever, there is a deep, vulnerable sincerity to his voice.]
It does. Perhaps they should have allowed us to take the seat together - something of an unusual precedent, yes, but... maybe we should have made the case that we work best together.
[He smiles again, leaning in closer to press his forehead against Emet's.]
... Thank you, Hades. I've missed you so terribly.
We do work best together. Azem doesn't count. They simply get in the way.
[He says it with zero bite about the third of their trio.
He squeezes his fingers leaning in as well.]
Well, I am here to both delight you and ruffle your feathers at the same time. You asked for me, now there is naught you can do to rid yourself of that. And you know I do not make promises lightly.
[Threading a hand in his hair and tugging him down for a kiss. Which is equally biting at his bottom lip as kissing, but he's feeling a little possessive!]

Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 02:38 am (UTC)... I would not interfere in your relationships, of course. And I am happy, truly, that you've found others who put your heart at ease.
But... you'll have to forgive me if I keep worrying over whether they may replace me in your heart.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 04:30 am (UTC)Impossible. I'd give you a piece of it as proof would I be able.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 04:46 am (UTC)... Well, then. I think that would dissuade me from such worries.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 04:55 am (UTC)I can't now, but when I can, I will.

If you would close your eyes.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 04:58 am (UTC)Well, this is quite interesting already!

Hmm. Is that what I think it is?
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 05:32 am (UTC)[It's a gift with a heavy meaning and he's a little embarrassed by it.]
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 05:45 am (UTC)[He smiles, running his fingers across the mask, then finally opening his eyes to give Emet a mischievous look.]
Does it suit me? Though I fear I would still make a poor Emet-Selch, alas.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 05:57 am (UTC)Truthfully, I made a poor Emet-Selch without you. You always balanced me out. See what I could not.
[He kisses him softly as he wears the mask.]
Does this ease the worry of your heart? I give you what I could never discard no matter how much time passes.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 06:02 am (UTC)It does. Perhaps they should have allowed us to take the seat together - something of an unusual precedent, yes, but... maybe we should have made the case that we work best together.

Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 06:24 am (UTC)Then I've got you just where I want you, Hades. You better be certain I am not going to let you go, either.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 07:53 am (UTC)Promise?
[Absolutely being cheeky.]
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-13 09:26 am (UTC)Promise. You won't find anyone more clingy than me.
