They you won’t be at all surprised that I found your soul not only comforting by dazzlingly beautiful.

[He kisses his hand.]

Having others around is soothing as much as I do not want to admit it. For those dreams.

Did you desire to go anywhere special tonight when we find out rest? Or shall I make it a surprise?

[ There's a slight blush when he calls his soul beautiful, because he doesn't think he'll ever get used to it. But he tries to push that aside and focus on the question. he'd ask for amaurot but then he's not sure if that won't make things worse, so— ]

Our pier, this time. Just the two of us.

[He hums at the suggestion.]

Easily doable. Though I will continue to be inspired to find other locations to create. I do enjoy the chance to sweep you off your feet.

As if you don't do that every time already.

[ he'll tug him toward his room, lacing their fingers together ]

I keep raising the bar for myself. Dreadful I know.

[He gets tugged along easily and puts the food away for morning. He stretches letting back and shoulders pop in horrible ways.]

Are you actually tired at the moment? If you are not, we could get a few lessons in before I bemoan of wanting a nap. Though that might only energize you further.

It will undoubtedly energize me, but that only means I'll torture you until we're both tired.

Getting a bit of work in sounds good for me.

[He just laughs and starts filling the table with books and notes ensuring they face the chairs toward the chalkboard wall in case there is anything they want to reference there.]

It has been a while, has it not? And I still need a plan to properly augment your abilities. And you have arcane basics to brush up on.

…

Actually can you use common law to make aether outside of our forms visible and malleable. I won’t be able to teach you the exact spells but I can see if your weaving of aether is correct.

I can try, but I don't imagine it would work. My prior common law altered our perceptions, so I imagine if I made us see aether it would still just be a perception of it and thus not truly accurate. If it shows up at all.

I can't add anything that is not already here.

I doubted it would be more than colored tints if the air at best. But it truly is a marvel of an ability.

[He takes a seat with a pen.]

Seems as if we just make do with other tools.

[ he will activate common law - and a tint around them will show up but it does seem to just be a projection of what they'd expect ~~because I'm not sure if it would work but i assume no~~, rather than their genuine aether. Still. it at least LOOKS like it does in dreams ]

It is. I'm pleased they gave it to us.

[It probably wouldn’t give them actual aether.]

So do you imagine this is our perceived version of aether?

[He waves at it and his hand goes through it much like air.]

I was wondering if you can draw with it like chalk in the air but I suppose that it being too hopeful. But interesting to see nonetheless.

We could save that for dreams if you want to see that.

[ and he will lean in to kiss his cheek ]

But for the time being we'll have to stick to actual chalk.

How dreadfully plebeian.

[He smiles at the kiss and kicks a chair out for Five to sit before beginning to work. However, if he continues to wear that he’s going to be staring at him more than actually working out arcane equations.]

[ He is totally still wearing that, and he very obviously notices the way Emet is looking at him but for now, he doesn't point it out. It's only after he's done fully writing that he just up and moves on his lap ]

If this keeps your eyes on me to this extent, I really should wear it properly when I look older.

I find the outfit striking and the person wearing it. And you must admit you do like the attention.

[He wraps one arm around him and takes a peek at what he was writing by pulling his papers over.]

I believe everyone wins in the situation.

I do like the attention, when it comes from you.

[ he'll let him take them, and Emet will be able to see he's worked on a few arcane equations, translating a few of the formulas he showed him before ]

[He writes in the margin and explains in detail as he does why he’s making adjustments. Giving him the same care and consideration when Five was explaining things to him days before.

But as predicted, he will tire before Five does, yawning and setting pen and paper down.]

I brought a sleeping potion for you along with supplies for breakfast. Shall we retire?

[ just like Emet did back then, he's listening attentively, soaking up the knowledge and making certain to remember each detail. When Emet yawn he will wrap his arms around him ]

Carry me and we can go.

[He kisses him on the forehead and does lift him carrying him to the bed.]

Goodness. You aren’t going to sleep in that.

[He takes off his shirt and hands it to him which really is just a short dress on him.]

Worried I might ruin it?

[ He doesn't protest it, though, especially since Emet is giving him his shirt. He'll undress and put the shirt on, and then just put the white outfit back in his clothes, careful with it because after all, he cares about it ]

Getting tangled mostly.

[And he wraps him in his arms after providing the potion, settling in to rest his head on his chest like the spiritual little spoon he is. He speaks drowsily in ancient before he falls asleep.]

I love you.

[ Oh no. That is adorable and he can't help but smile softly, as endeared as he always is by this man. He'll kiss the top of his head and wait for him to fall asleep before he takes the potion himself, just in case he needs anything.

And when he does fall asleep, there's the usual desolation waiting for them in his own dreams ]

[He isn’t left to his own devices for too long and desolation will be replaced by the pier they both have grown so fond of. Though their are a few changes.

Garlands of hydrangea spiral along the support of the piers. The sides of the path leading up to it are spotted with rows of white heather, asphodels, and sunflowers, but there are still plenty of spots to lie in the grass if they so desired.

Hades is there in shorts and a button up shirt but at least they are tame colors and patterns. And he offers him a single blue-green rose. The color of his eyes.

And there is that terrible sound in the distance. A little stronger than before, but he’s doing his best to ignore it.]

[ It's fine, surely. Just like last time, if they wait enough and are patient through it, the sound will dissipate and Emet will feel better. He's impressed with the entire scenery but it's the rose that get his attention the most, and he takes it to smell it for a moment before he leans in to kiss him on the lips ]

As beautiful as always.

[He wraps his arms around his neck leaning up to return this kiss.]

I can’t be outdone by one so young though I will admit the garden was a rather brilliant idea.

[He leans his head on his shoulder. Still tense but relaxing.]

Thank you. For being here.
