[He laughs full of mirth through pants as he warps both arms around his head and shoulders holding him.]
I wonder whose favor I did employ to have you back here with me. Or more likely your stubbornness. So brilliant, so bright, so beautiful like the flames you so love.
[He kisses his temple and makes himself comfortable, he's a blanket now.]
As for moving, I am afraid I cannot carry you like this so you will just have to recover some way or another. You have plenty of hours to nap and muster the energy.
[He strokes Emet's hair and really, it is a long, sleepy cuddle until night falls, until the last colors of sunset fade. somewhere in there they probably eat the sandwiches he brought, and maybe even nap.
But when darkness falls he sits up, stroking Emet's cheek with his fingers.]
You are beautiful, robed in nothing but the sun's last rays.
But... Well. Can you at least manage clothes and to get on a horse now?
[Truthfully staying here for a long long time seems ideal. But he's too practical and they need to shower and eat properly. Even if this place would be fine to sleep.
Still, he loves seeing Emet blush and he traces that over his cheek with a smile.]
I did. I do hope you will like it even if it does mean moving.
[He grumbles but settles himself, leaning back against Emet in a silent hello before he sets the pegasus off to land back at street level, then head to the dorms where they can fly to the roof to hop off and head inside.]
[He's quiet the way back, but in a good way. A languid, relaxing way as the footfalls of the mechanical creature at the steady feel of Lahabrea calm and soothe him. He'll kiss his neck softly every once in a while.]
[He smiles over his shoulder but mostly is intent on getting them back to the dorms, taking flight when the reach the hotel and landing on the roof. He'll slide off to offer Emet his hand down.]
[He gets off the mechanical horse with help. Normally he would try to pick Lahabrea up, but he is too content and tired in a good way so he just wraps both arms around one of his resting his head on his shoulder as they enter the dorms.]
[Really it is nice having Emet-Selch lean on him, the real crime is he can't pick him up or use powers to! But this will do and he will lead him in, and to the bathroom to clean up and get into comfortable less rumbled things.
He will be washing his hair and generally fussing over him of course.]
[Why would they NOT have silken PJs! He kisses Emet's cheek and leads him to the music hall. Pulling up a chair for him and sitting at the piano himself.
Solo concert while they're both in pajamas? Absolutely.
He does start to play, something soft and familiar. One of Emet-Selch's favorites, something from long, long ago.]

Re: Day 275
Perhaps it is my own luck to find you, have you considered? My sweet gentle Hades.
[He kisses his cheek.]
Re: Day 275
And now your task is complete and I do thoroughly have no plans of moving. Now it is up to you to find us a return back after the sun has set.

Re: Day 275
Then you will have to enjoy my company until then. Your true schemes made apparent. How dastardly.
Then would you mind watching the sunset with me. I imagine the view from here is nothing short of breathe-taking.
Re: Day 275
[He strokes Emet's cheek and sighs contentedly at the pets.]
You hardly need ask such a thing. I would be delighted to do just that. I did claim you to myself for the day.
Re: Day 275
When was the last time we watched the setting of the sun together. Perhaps we do spend too much time in BARiTONES.
Re: Day 275
Perhaps we have become homebodies.
Re: Day 275
Not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all.
[And he'll hold him like this until the sun has set.]

Re: Day 275
And he can't help but smile at the compliment, blush staining his cheeks.]
I could be bothered and you did promise a surprise. Though I'm not certain what could be better than this.

I did. I do hope you will like it even if it does mean moving.
Re: Day 275
[He smiles brushing his cheek in return as he gets up and starts do dress, helping Lahabrea as well.]
Good thing we can simply leave this horse on the tower until we get a proper balcony for it.
Re: Day 275
[He fusses Eemt's clothes mostly presentable, putting his mask back on at last.]
I shall say we should shower and get into things relaxing and clean first. Then your surprise. And the rest of the evening for relaxation.
Re: Day 275
It sounds delightful.
Re: Day 275
Must you?
[What about his dignity? That he pretends he has.]
Re: Day 275
[But he is spared soon enough as he puts in on the mount and gets up behind him.]

He will also ensure Lahabrea is pampered at least a little before drying off and getting into silken pajamas, because of course BARiTONES has those.]

Re: Day 275
Until he hears the song to which his feet find their way to the floor and he pads his way over to sit next to Lahabrea on the piano bench.]
When did you....?
