[He leans his head against his.]

Have you been getting enough rest between watching over my dreams and everyone else?

I find being in your dreams quite restful. And yes, I'm fine.

[He lifts a hand to run it through Emet's hair. Staying in the lean.]

Thank you. Not that I doubt that you would or I would do the reverse should our situations be different. But thank you all the same.

[He turns a bit to kiss his cheek.]

You are welcome, though I hardly need say you need not mention it. You are dear to me Hades, it is nice to be able to do even a little to take care of you, despite the situation not being ideal.

It will fade in time, but ever can I rely on you.

[He smiles and closes his eyes.]

Of all the gifts I've been given here, that you would arrive, that you would enter my life again I could hardly imagine it possible.

I hope you never forget how cherished you are.

[He finds Emet's free hand to lace their fingers, leaning against him once more. ]

I will not. You would hardly allow it.

I hope you, too, know how much I love and treasure you my friend. I would not be whole without you. But even were that not the case, you have ever been my constant and gentle friend, someone whom I can ever count on, whose happiness and sorrows I would share in equally.

[He squeezes his fingers and laughs before just pulling him into his lap.]

Can I get a little bit of a blush? You are so terribly hard to embarrass.

[He huffs, moving as he's pulled. That does get his cheeks pink, and a hand pressed over Emet's face lightly.]

You should respect your elders, not tease them.

[He just laughs around his hand.]

You speak if I can't do both, Most Honorable Lahabrea.

[He looks so affronted, leaving his hand there.]

I am not too old to take you across my knee.

[He tilts his had back a little.]

As if I would allow it.

You wouldn't deny me.

I absolutely would, old man.

So you claim. But I imagine I could make any request of you and be indulged.

[He's so arrogant and smug and not sorry about it.]

Does Vergil indulge you so? Bend to your whim.

[He tries to push his hand away.]

You'll find I'm harder to manipulate.

[He does let his hand be moved, but only o lean in and kiss Emet-Selch's forehead, both a tender gesture and slightly condescending on purpose.]

Should I call this your rebellious phase?

[He frowns in exaggeration. Probably what he wanted as he closes his eyes for a moment.]

Do you want me to call you Daddy as well?

Please never suggest that again.

Then I believe I win this round.

[A very Five thing to say as he kisses his forehead.]

You did say anything.

I will concede only this one!

[Between exaggerated grumpiness and fond exasperation but good job scandalizing him.]

[He pets his back as he is still on his lap and letting the back of his fingers run across his cheek.]

Still sure you want to write me a letter.

Oh yes, this is what will sway me.

[He catches his hand and kisses his palm in gentle contrast to the sarcasm and rolled eyes.]

[That does get his cheeks to color as he pulls his hand back giving him the same exasperated expression with no bite.]

I could try harder, but I'm more curious as to what you will pen. Will you start now or did you simply want to encourage me to write poetry.

I had intended to, but I've grown quite comfortable.

[To be a shitty cat he even drapes his arms on Emet's shoulders and gets more settled on his lap. ]

I'm not in your way now am I?
