[There is a smile, felt in his soul, but really all he does is keep soothing, petting and holding and gathering Hades against him.

And very gently he probes deeper. Not to unlock or lay bear trauma, simply sinking warmth into him, into his core, into every scrap of his soul. Reassurance. Gentle comfort. Trying to reach those things that need it most.]

[He kisses Emet's jaw and lips lightly as he's pulled down, fingers stroking through his soul at a leisurely pace now.]

You say as if I am not soothed holding you thus. To have you here in my hands is more relief and comfort than words can express.


[Though he does try to share that feeling, the peacefulness just holding Emet brings, to share the truth of it, show that it is not empty words but true relief.]

[Sometimes you must simply murder a man you love and enjoy every moment of it. He keeps up the gentle caresses in turn, humming softly. Mischief in his soul with the fondness.]

Perhaps I shall show you another time.

Just?


[Gentle, probing. He is patient, but curious.]

[He kisses him, his physical form, his soul, fingers stroking his face and his chest, within and without.]

Do not think I do not understand. Some thing are not about trust, I know this. Some things hurt too deeply to be rational.

But if I may soothe you, help you, ease you, tell me. Ask me. Let me. Only when you wish. Only if you are ready.

[Of course he welcomes him. Soul open and even gently pulling him in.]

Always.

And if I do mind?


[But he pulls them out, infinitely careful, gentle, not leaning any damage in his wake, retrieving his own fire but urging Hades to come along, to flow into him.]

Come relax and let me hold you, think of nothing.

[He does laugh softly.]

Rest. If only I could hold you like this for a century or two.


[He is protective, and gentle. Keeping Hades held within himself with all his love, happy to cradle him gently for all the night.]

Of course. Perhaps eventually we can rest like this for real for a while.


[He is rather content having Hades curled in his soul, like a cat on his chest, something to hold gently and pet and keep cozy.]

I love you Hades. Sleep peacefully.
