The Lafrourou's ugly face glowers at him. He glares back. Of course, his denial will only encourage Hythlodaeus. Why did his friend have to find this of all things?
Of course it encourages Hythlodaeus. He lights up even more, because to him the "no" means "yes".
"But it's delightful! Oh, maybe we can find one for you too!"
He turns around, inspecting more of the cursed dolls, until - aha, there is one! He holds up another doll, beaming. This one is themed after an octopus - but still glittered up with crystals for the festival.
"I knew you would like it! I'll take these two," he turns to the shopkeeper with a smile, reaching for his coin pouch. Look, he's paying for things like a responsible adult!
"I have seen people attach these to their clothing," Hythlodaeus muses once the purchase is complete. He holds up both dolls to Hades, seemingly choosing somewhere to hang them on.
Aaaand he's bought them already. Hades sighs quietly to himself, resigned to having to look at the disturbing thing regularly now. He reaches out to take the octopus, looking it over.
"How impractical. It would be better off attached to a bag. I don't want such a bulky thing impeding my movement."
"That is a much too utilitarian view. Come now, Hades, you've walked along mortals much longer than me. Surely you know the merits of expressing your personality through attire and accessories?"

Please, he just doesn't want the Lafroufrou.
