Stop. Stop, it wasn't. She was homicidally hostile at the time and I don't...want to be someone who can't be relied on to look after her own unitmates especially if that means you dying.
We could have fled, but I decided to hold ground. There were many options available to us. Though do not think I am not appreciative. 'Tis true, I would have died without your aide.
But I think the toll on you was higher than if I had died. Death has little meaning to me. I'm nigh immortal and have shed my mortal vessel countless times.
Maybe, we could have, but maybe that wouldn't have worked, either. Especially since where we were was a dead end. Noooooooooooot exactly ideal.
I don't think it's that comparable because if it means killing someone or watching you die, both those options really, really suck! I get that death is Not A Big Deal to you, I can understand that concept objectively, but it's hard to reconcile that knowledge with what had already happened. I'd already seen you die and was not a fan, let me tell you. Or having seen anyone else I cared about, for that matter. Or anyone at all, really!
Now, now, dear Speaker. Is any of this truly work?
[He strokes Lahabrea's cock a few times before lining himself up and sinking down into him still keeping one arm on his chest to hold him down. Not that it has any weight behind it.]
[He settles his free hand on Emet-Selch's hip and exhales roughly at the pleasure of that, enjoying this view.]
Work. No, hardly that. Nothing like it.
[His voice is a little rough, pleased, but he lifts his hand to capture Emet-Selch's, kissing his palm. And then pulling to unbalance him, gently, attempting to flip their positions.]
But if I do not watch you, you do tend to get mischievous.
Lucifel mentioned a library that contains all the knowledge in the universe, but apparently no one knows how to access it. I'd be curious to see it, but I doubt that'll happen.
Friends or allies...
[He's quiet a moment, before letting out a short sigh.]
Maybe. But I don't really have many memories to go off of, so it's hard to say. The one person I do think I might have been close with wasn't there at the end, when I died, that is. So, I'm not sure what that means.
I'm glad to hear he's starting to feel better. And there's no reason for you to apologize, it was a stupid "game", there's nothing you could have done about it. Although, that reminds me...
What, exactly, happened to you during that last fight?
[Of course the hand kissing distracts him as it always does --- one day he'll be immune to it --- but flipped he gets. He looks like he's going to protest for a moment before he flops back arms above his head in a gesture of surrender.]
[He holds Emet-Selch's hand captive, kissing each finger as he adjust above him, pulling his hips up and sinking further into him as he leans forward.]
I enjoy every moment of your good humor and your playfulness. I do enjoy you.
[He kisses his palm and then laces their fingers, pushing Emet's hand down to the cushions as he holds it briefly before letting go.]
Is is a shame this does lack the ability to truly undo you.
[He trails his fingers over Emet's neck, his chest, and grasps his hips in both hands, drawing out mostly and lifting one of his legs up more, adjusting his hips, thrusting back in at the new angle harder.]
Then as your memories are sparse what do you think of your current unitmates? Ignore the thoughts of "Familia" and what your life as an android meant. In this moment, what would you like to pursue? And that can change over time, but it helps to have a starting point.
[He laughs at that realizing the implication.]
I'm not mortal like most of those here. In fact one might consider my true form more akin to 'energy' than anything else. Energy than can be formed and shaped into my choosing. And before all this I was considered a sorcerer of eld. Can you imagine how dull it is not being able to teleport everywhere? I'm not sure how the masses manage.
That's what I thought too. Why have all that knowledge if no one can use it?
My unitmates? We've had our differences a few times, but they've also helped me a lot. It's just nice having others around, you know? Some of them are a little weird, but I guess they wouldn't be themselves if they weren't.
I guess... I want to know why we're here. I mean, why we were brought here. Is it really just to keep a bunch of demons entertained? And how did we get here. Maybe there's no grand plan but... I can't help thinking there's more going on here than what we've been told.
[He's not as shocked as he once might have been by the revelation that Emet-Selch is entirely non-human, but it's still a strange thought.]
Energy, huh? So you could just... turn into whatever you wanted to?
[But why a big purple monster???]
Vehicles don't seem too bad for getting around, right?
[He has no qualms in exploiting that sensitivity, a hand moving from Emet's hip to his cock, wrapping around him and slowly caressing him.
Entirely out of sync with the rough way he pulls back and plunges into him. Leaning over him to kiss his lips lightly, catching his name and smiling at it.]
You are beatiful, Hades. Though I cannot see or feel it here your soul does shine.
Oh, 'tis definitely more than what it seems. No one makes this amount of elaboration without a dear wish in their heart be it for love, greed, spite, or desire. Though it is uncertain if we will ever know the depth of it.
And your journey may not end here depending on which path you take. As upsetting as your death is, it seems freeing in a way. If you have no attachments, I recommend you find some. No one should go through life alone.
[He laughs.]
Yes. Would I have my abilities I could sculpt this form into anything I like. Though I do enjoy the familiar.
