[He shakes his head.]

Not at all. You would think me ill if I fawned over you all the time, would you not?

Hmmm~ I wonder! Maybe you should try it and we'll see?

You would soak up the attention like a sponge, no doubt.

Here. Why don't you just ooze onto this seat and I can drive the rest of the way.

Sounds good to me.

[DEFINITELY GONNA OOZE, but also! Reaching out to take Emet's hand briefly.]

Would you be averse to spending a few nights with me?

[He squeezes his fingers back.]

Of course not. Have you been feeling lonely?

[Also somehow only bumping his head mildly as he gets into the driver seat.]

In a sense, perhaps. I would just like to remember what it's like, to sleep and wake up with you in my arms.

[He leans over to kiss him before he starts the vehicle.]

I could complain like old times as well. How you were akin to heater pressed up against my side. Your hair getting everywhere.

[He's absolutely teasing trying to hide how incredibly touched he is.]

[AS IF HE CAN'T TELL THAT YOU'RE TOUCHED, FUFUFU]

I shall wear my hair extra loose, then. And I know you'd be delighted anyway.

I'm already excited, I assure you.

[Nudging him in the side!]

I could tell by your jubilant expression.

Your other two paramours are rather cheerful. Someone has to balance them out.

[... THINKS]

Who are my paramours, then? Apart from Lily, of course.

Luther Hargreeves. Unless that has changed.

Oh, he still is. I simply wondered why only two. Though I suppose Absinthe and Serenity are not exactly cheerful.

I believe your term for Absinthe is 'shady' and I do not disagree. Serenity I did not know well unfortunately.

I could upgrade him to 'shy', if he behaves.

[fufufu.mp3]

Oh, you'll get your chance to get to know Serenity better, then. I am definitely bringing her with us, and I'm certain she would be a great asset to my Bureau.

You do enjoy making the most stubborn of us blush. Of course he would interest you.

[He clicks his tongue as he does drive. Sort of. He's not that great at it!]

You're retiring. Or are you going to steal the role from your younger self?

[That's ok, Hyth can always take over the driving psychically if needed! But do stop being such an old man.]

If I retire, are you sure you'd be able to keep me occupied?

What makes you think I'm not retiring immediately? I've earned my rest.

And what would you have me do? Pamper you in the twilight of your years?

[... Well, he meant it as a joke but actually it makes him think about Things.]

... Hades-- you wouldn't return to the star without me, would you?

[Then he starts to laugh.]

No, no. I meant I will get a large bed with at least a dozen pillows and take a nap there. Perhaps for a decade. I'd leave it to you to keep the fire going and water by my beside.

I simply wish to not do anything taxing or make any decisions.

[Well, at least the fact that Emet laughs seems to soothe him. Leaning onto his shoulder a bit, as much as he can while Emet's driving.]

That is much better. But do you understand now why I refused the office, too? Decisions are hard work, harder than I'm cut out for.

You are never allowed to accuse me of being lazy.

[He leans his head against him.]

The promise I made still I will uphold. Though I think more than than the two of us need to be considered for the when.

[... well, actually.]

It gets a little complicated, doesn't?.. We haven't got Azem here. Or... anywhere at all, anymore. The one back home is friends with our younger selves.
