[snapping]

[ he knows but he likes to pretend that he can fix Hermes ]

It's their own fault if they don't know what they can handle.

[flawful]

I think that's unfair to say...

[snapping]

A certain level of trust must go into this, don't you think? Even if it's a one time thing, you have to believe they know what's good for them yes? Anyway, you have healing magicks don't you, you can just fix them afterward if it's that bad.

[flawful]

I have used magicks to make things...a bit more easy on them.

[snapping]

No harm in that, I say. So, there! You have nothing to be anxious about.

[flawful]

I am always anxious Emet-Selch.

[snapping]

Yes, yes. Well you should learn to take a break once in a while. You can always practice on me.

[flawful]

...Practice?

[snapping]

Yes! You know you won’t hurt me.

[flawful]

Then...if it is alright with you...I would be glad to take you up on your offer.

[snapping]

Very well.

[ they...really need their houses don't they ]

I'll meet you in that charming little place we went for "bubble tea" then.

[flawful]

[They really, really do.]

I'll be there shortly then.

[snapping]

[ He thinks about wearing something scandalous to add to the fun but decides against it. This is Hermes' opportunity to seduce him after all.

So he's just casually standing outside of their meeting place like he's not totally DTF. ]

[flawful]

[Just...what exactly has he gotten himself into anyway? At the sight of Emet-Selch he gives him a wave, swallowing nervously as he gestures for him to follow him inside. The art of seduction is lost on Hermes but he'll certainly give it his best shot once they've bought their drinks and are shown their private room. An awkward sip is taken of the drink before he sets it aside, staring at Emet-Selch with slightly widening eyes.

Now what? He didn't think this through at all.]

[snapping]

[ Emet-Selch gets his drink as well and follows in shortly after. He sets the cup aside and then turns to face Hermes, raising a brow at him.

Well he's doing a "great" job so far. ]

Whatever are you so nervous for, Hermes? It's just me.

[flawful]

I know, I know...

[He waves a hand, laughing lightly at himself in a bid to ease the tension he feels starting to creep up and take hold of his body.]

I just am always afraid of disappointing you.

[snapping]

You will do no such thing. We are friends. And I offered to do this.

[ So clearly he trusts Hermes enough and is also 100% okay being dicked down by him. ]

I suppose you could always pretend I am someone else if that's easier.

[ Just. Not Hythlodaeus ]

[flawful]

Why would I ever pretend you're someone else?

[That has him frowning, if not looking a little sad.]

Although if I am to be honest...I would like to see you for who you are.

[snapping]

Well, if I intimidate you so—

[ He pauses, blinking at the second part.

Wow ok baka... ]

I see. I suppose I can grant you that.

[ And there's the snap ]

[flawful]

[Ironically the sight of Emet's true visage has Hermes relaxing, a small smile settling on his lips as he takes a step forward. Even on his tan skin it's clear to see a blush is beginning to form.]

Thank you...it soothes me to see you like this.

[A hand finds his friend's cheek, thumb smoothing beneath his eye.]

Sometimes I cannot help but be jealous of you and Hythlodaeus...I wish I could see the full brilliance of the souls you both possess.

[snapping]

I shall try to remember to appear so more often.

[ He already unwittingly told Hermes that he has some reservations about just strutting around with his actual face after many lifetimes of not. But he's tryin....

And Hermes immediately snaps him out of his thoughts with his hand there, Emet-Selch's cheeks growing quite hot themselves. ]

It's nothing out of the ordinary I'm sure. Not like other souls...

[ Azem's... Elidibus'.... well, even Hythlodaeus' is far more beautiful than his own, in his opinion. ]

[flawful]

I doubt that. Even from what little I can see I can tell it's something special.

[Is he trying to seduce Emet-Selch? Not intentionally. He's just being his weird self.]

I am sure Hythlodaeus would agree.

[snapping]

[ Who knew that being your weird self is the key to the sentimental Hades' heart... ]

That- No. Nonsense. His sight is even better than mine.

[ He huffs like he's just made a point. But he definitely hasn't, and is just redder in the face for it. ]

[flawful]

[That gets a small laugh out of Hermes. Is he teasing him? Maybe, just a little bit.]

Shall I ask him then next time I see him? I am sure he would happily tell me in detail what your soul looks like to his gaze.

[snapping]

[ Wow, Hermee!! ]

Now you just stop that.

[ He doesn't need people discussing his soul! ]
