Oh, you've got your way of being difficult, too.

[He hums, leaning onto the railing.]

Well, it would be obvious to make up a constellation based on our Bureau, wouldn't it?

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[firstworldproblem]

It would be obvious.

But is that you?

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[weenwoon]

I suppose for it to be me I'd make up one that embodies your hope I won't wake you up from a nap.

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[firstworldproblem]

Is that truly such a terrible fate? You can join me, you know.

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[weenwoon]

[He smiles, ruffling Emet's hair again]

Oh, certainly. Well, I suppose that's something your younger self would have worried about. I'll need to think up something new to menace you with.

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[firstworldproblem]

[He smiles at that. The ruffling of the hair.]

I'm sure you will think of something. It might even be related to curly straws.

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[weenwoon]

[Laughs!]

Oh my! I never thought it'd make such an impression on you. But... yes, now that you mention it... a curly straw constellation is absolutely necessary.

[He raises a hand, tracing out a random pattern.]

It will be over there.

[He leans on his shoulder wrapping his wings around him.]

It's perfect.

[And then he lifts his head to kiss his cheek.]

Welcome back, my friend.

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[weenwoon]

[He looks briefly startled at the kiss, but then leans into the embrace, wrapping his wings around Emet in kind.]

... Yes. I've still got a long way to go before I catch up with you, but... I suppose I'm back. At least, moreso than I was before.

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[firstworldproblem]

You do not need to catch up with me. You are already ahead in your own ways. Besides there is beauty in imperfections. Mine. Yours.

Re: Monster Bingo - 415 - Levity

[weenwoon]

[He studies Emet's face thoughtfully, then rests his chin on top of his head, sighing softly.]

... It's not just about that. We... live in different worlds now, you and I. As you say, you are not Hades and I am not Hythlodaeus - we've lost one another. And I think you've had more time to deal with that loss than I. You've moved on, while I am only just starting to accept it.
