'Take pictures while Hades is distracted', got it.
Hythlodaeus similarly attaches his Lafroufrou to a breast pocket - the corsair style of clothing allows for more roguish belts and buckles that work perfectly for this kind of thing.
"Oh?~ What kind of plans?"
He perks up at that news - it's rare for Hades to be proactive with spending time together... that is, spending time together that isn't simply being in each other's presence.
Well, that sounds intriguing, and Hythlodaeus wonders what it might be that warrants a private discussion. Then again, Hades doesn't like expressing anything much in public. But at the same time, him saying "if you are amenable"... Hmm.
Hythlodaeus nods in agreement and follows his friend to the stall, giving the seller a friendly wave. It looks like they are selling all manner of goods made of leather: bags of various sizes, but also holsters and belts, journal covers and even accessories... including some, hm, unusual-looking harnesses in the back of the stall.
"Do you see anything you like?" He asks, but his own eye is drawn to one of the leather-bound journals. It looks like it would make for a fine gift too, and particularly one that Hades would use.
The stall gets a fair bit of attention from Hades. He gently runs his fingers over the leather, inspecting the craftsmanship and quality with a critical eye. Were the stallholder not busy chatting up another customer at the moment, he would have occupied their attention himself. He notes a few items to enquire about later before his eyes catch sight of what's hanging on the back wall.
Hades is distracted, frowning at the unusual harnesses at the back, when Hythlodaeus prompts him. Without turning, he hums and gestures.
"Mm, there are some decent items here. But what are those?"
"No!" he snaps back - and he's not. Hythlodaeus can take whoever he likes to bed. He and his friend had their time together.
Unfortunately(?) his raised voice draws the attention of the shopkeep, who is finally done with their previous customer. They approach with a smile, asking how they might help the pair whilst their eyes dart uncertainly towards Hades.

"Let's look for that bag. I have plans yet for tonight, if...if you're amenable."

He starts wandering towards a stall which looks to be selling a variety of bags, expecting Hythlodaeus to follow.

Date: 2026-01-14 01:31 pm (UTC)There are probably good, graceful ways to handle this. But what Hythlodaeus does is raise a hand to cover Hades's eyes, as one would a child's.
"Oh, nothing you need concern yourself with. Come now, we came here for something else, remember?"

"I... I see." He turns away, crossing his arms tightly. "And how, pray tell, did you even recognise them as such? Did you...?"

He grins his most shite-eating grin and nudges Hades with an elbow.
"Why, are you jealous?~"
