"Always. Even when you were not there," He mumbles, drifting into sleep's haze. He would want to argue that Hythlodaeus could have had anyone, could still have anyone, but he's happy enough keeping the man all to himself without contest for now.
"You had better be," he opens his eyes suddenly at Hythlodaeus' insistence he will be there when he awakens. "Or I'll have words." And that is that. As if Emet-Selch doesn't always have words about something.
"Of course you will, my dear." He chuckles tiredly, before letting himself slip off into a light sleep. He has no intention of leaving until Emet-Selch wakes, and perhaps that's for the best. As much as Emet-Selch loves to complain, and as much as Hythlodaeus seems to enjoy giving him reasons to do so, he doesn't really want to leave his side any time soon.
