[ Hythlodaeus's fingers rub gently the tensing-again shoulders, though he's not alarmed by that. Instead, he hums. ]
Well, then I only can do it without being prompted. But also, Hades... You have earned every sweet word I tell you, and more, all those that overflow my heart and mind every time I think of you.
[ Hyth better enjoy it. Because outside this home, Hades wouldn't dare allow any of this. Which means he huffs and leans into the touch ever so slightly. ]
That is inevitable, even if you do not wish it. We've very different personalities.
[ It's just that Hythlodaeus thinks that "bettering the Star" means that he needs to support Hades. Oh no, he's not unaware that his his closest friend's aim. He might not understand it, but knows that it is there. ]
[ And the slight worry about arguments and making each other ache in ways nobody else can - it dissipates in an instant by the joy and happiness those words bring, both his smile and his aether bright without reservation. ]
I am glad. Do let me know when you are in want of something to eat, or if you something to do something specific.
[ He'll likely come up with something soon enough, but right now this right here is enough. ]
Well, then patience you might need to have, though patience usually is reserved for waiting for things you wish for - that I get up is hardly what I think you're looking forward to, exactly.
[ Hythlodaeus uses his free hand to cover his mouth for a soft chuckle, then just leans down and presses a soft, dry kiss on Hades's brow before sitting up again. ]
Nothing to sacrifice, here. Just rest a little more, and then we'll figure out what comes after. Nothing urgent for either of us is... a welcome change, after all.
[ And for all that he does like to egg Hades into doing things that he can do though he technically doesn't have to, he doesn't go looking for such, only uses any that come his way uninvited. ]

yeah... I hope you get to be safe despite it!
Why would I be more selfish when I am content? You are near. And when you're happy, it is even better.
[ So, really, one could say making Hades and Azem happy is selfish, too, but Hythlodaeus can live with that definition of selfish. ]
i was!
As if Hades isn't also the same way deep down. But it's only in moments like this that it really shows. ]
Do you realize that you say the sappiest things without even truly being prompted to?
oh good!
He chuckles slightly into his free hand. ]
Oh? Does that mean that if I didn't, you would prompt me to say them?
but now work has been rough :')
I would never. If it was for praise that I had not received but earned, yes. All else? Not every likely!
Nuuu!

Re: Nuuu!
This is one of those arguments I am not likely going to win, isn't it?
no subject
Not an argument, hopefully. Merely clarifying a point. I do not wish to argue with you - now, or ever.
no subject
That is inevitable, even if you do not wish it. We've very different personalities.
no subject
Right you are, and yet - that means not we need have differing aims. Does it?
no subject

I do not think I'll be leaving tonigt.

And then he promptly flops back onto Hythlodaeus' lap. ]
I am content for the moment. When you decide you are in need, then I suppose I will partake when you do.
no subject
Mm. No appetite, or no desire to go anywhere, even as far as the kitchen?
no subject
Both at the moment. However it's mostly that I'm simply willing to be patient.
no subject
Patient? What is it that you are waiting for, hmm?
no subject
Isn't that obvious? The answer to that is clearly you.
no subject
I am right there.
no subject
I mean that I can wait until as such a time as you are ready to get up and do what you see fit to do.
no subject
Well, then patience you might need to have, though patience usually is reserved for waiting for things you wish for - that I get up is hardly what I think you're looking forward to, exactly.
Or is it?
no subject
[ Or at least consideration of another. Hyth, please. ]

Of course you are being a bit of a brat.
[ He sighs. Waves the other off a bit. ]
My point still stands. Whenever you are ready.
