I am not the one stressed, I assure you.

[He just sighs.]

Do not challenge him, he'll actually do it. He's remarkably resourceful. And much as it would be interesting to see what he comes up with he needs the rest himself.

[He just raises an eyebrow at Lahabrea.]

Truly? I was under the impression we were all a little overburdened for various reasons. Some more than others, but it adds up all the same.

But a problem for another time. I do believe the effects of the game have worn off for all of us. And Five, you might consider talking to your brother though I imagine you already had plans. I know I am relieved you have your fire back within you.

[ wow no don't turn it on him he was going to be cool and just say he'd leave them to each other ]

Why would I need to talk to Klaus? There's nothing to say.

As far as work goes I kept a busier schedule between the Akadaemia and Convocation. I never felt overworked then, I feel practically idle now.

[Is that a good argument or is it just he's always been like this?

He laces his fingers together and loops then over one knee, leaning back to look at Five.]

Did something happen?

He was obviously worried about you and games are new to him. You can at least assure him it has passed. And perhaps tell him without being a puddle upon the floor that it was sweet of him to try to find you in his memories.

He filmed me I'm pretty sure he was less worried and more having the time of his life. Look, I'm fine, he's fine, I don't need to address that or ... his memories.

Weren't we talking about you two?

Five.

[But he'll let Hades address the rest.]

Just talk to him. He will not reject you.

Or think if the positions were reversed. How would you feel if he thanked you for keeping him company and helping him at after a game?

I hate you both and I'm never speaking to you two when you're in the same room ever again.

[ he sighs ]

I'm not afraid he will reject me. If anything I'm more likely to say something unadvisable. But fine. I'll talk to him.

And I'm leaving you two alone to relax and take care of each other. As grateful as I am for the care and love you've shown me the past few days it's true you both have quite a lot on your plate right now, and I'd like you to focus on each other.

Consider it a personal request that I am sure you will find yourself inclined to accept given my irresistable charm.

[He laughs openly, just amused as hell.]

Ah, there's that charm.

However do not think you can escape just yet. Did you have more to discuss with him, Hades? I can give you some privacy. It is not as if I do not live here, I'll be easy to find when you're done.

Just one, but you don't need to leave for it.

[He leans over and kisses the top of Five's forehead.]

I am glad you are feeling better. Now, off you go. Us nigh immortals will find some way to pass the time without your ever energetic presence. Do not get lost on the way out.

[ oh no. How is he supposed to stay mad at that. there's a small smile and he reaches for Hades hand so he can bring it to his lips to kiss it, letting it go shortly after. ]

I'll inform you of any updates. I love you. Both of you, just, you know. In different ways.

[ didn't he just say he hates them? forget it!! And he will pat Lahabrea's shoulder on his way out and leave them alone ]

And I you, Five. You may come pick up the notes and arcane equations I've formulated tomorrow.

[Because today Five has enough with family and so on. He will smile as Five goes though, fond.]

Admit it.

[After Five has left, he moves couches so he can use Lahabrea's arm and shoulder as a back and headrest.]

I picked someone quite extraordinary, did I not?

[He will lift his other arm and ruffle Emet's hair.]

You did. You may be as smug as you like, you do deserve to be.

He is going to hurt himself. Chasing after heartache as he is. Though only experience can teach him that.

We will both be here for him.

And I do think you are the pot calling the kettle black.

True it may be, but you hardly have the room to say it.

Perhaps I do not, but I will anyway. You did say I could be as smug as I wished.

[Leaning further against him and tilting his head back to look at him.]

Let's see where this gamble will take us, hmm.

I suppose I did.

[He wraps his arm around him and kisses Emet's forehead.]

I do intend to. Perhaps the roll of the dice will be kinder than I suppose.

[He closes his eyes.]

I would have not even entertained it, had you not been here. I do hate to waste effort.

[He brushes his fingers through Emet's hair, soothing.]

You are far more sincere than I, in that.

Tell me what you learn from Vergil, would you? I want to know how close both of them have become. I will prod Five further on the matter later.

Tell me what you learn as well.

I hate to admit it but I had no idea either of them had grown close to that Scion.

Neither did I. It is quite troublesome.

I do trust Five implicitly and though I am still cross with Vergil I understand where his heart lies. But the closer they become, the more they might strive to find a solution for all. I do not believe they will betray us or put our goals second, but...

... it could cause hesitation. That is a luxury we might not be able to afford in the most critical of moments.

He just looks down at Emet a moment then out the window, eyes unfocusing some.]

You are more charitable in thought than I.
