[He laughs bitterly.]

Don't ask me. I did not endorse this foolish plan nor do I understand the reasoning behind it.

[deicider]

It's hard for me to think of half your people as fools. And even if Zodiark had a down side, you'd be unable to recognize it.

[firstworldproblem]

Downside or not, we didn't shatter everyone. Why bother with trying to prevent the Final Days if that was to be their final result?

[deicider]

[They shake their head.]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be theorizing over such a sensitive topic.

[firstworldproblem]

I know you do not mean it in malice which is why we can have a conversation at all, but that doesn't mean I won't snip as it is a sore subject. And perhaps these questions are worthy of answers, but in the end I can't find myself to care.

[deicider]

Someone should care. Just in case.

[They sit up a bit.]

But it's still poor recompense for helping me relax. Would you like me to see about your back?

[firstworldproblem]

I will leave it in your capable hands then.

[He can't help but shakes his head with a laugh.]

Cardinal Chases Dawn, you are my friend. One that I am dearly attached to. You do not owe me anything but your presence and hopefully a smile for caring for you.

[deicider]

[Cardinal lightly cups his face and kisses him again, lingering and warmly affectionate. Emet-Selch can feel the curve of their smile.]

[firstworldproblem]

[He does and he appreciates it while kissing back lightly.]

Better. Being doted on suits you in small quantities. Ever did you too much energy to stay still.

[deicider]

It's rare to find someone entertaining enough to keep me still.

[firstworldproblem]

I am rather charming. And modest.

[deicider]

You are. Charming is the least of yourself qualities.

[firstworldproblem]

You just like to flatter.

Stay the night here. The bed is large enough for four and I'm not even certain Cosmo will be here or with Vergil tonight.

[deicider]

I like to enjoy you.

[They huff lightly and burrow their face against Emet-Selch's chest, well away from them scar. Don't tease them!]

Don't complain when I get up early.

[firstworldproblem]

I will absolutely complain and demand you turn off any lights and shut the curtains. Honestly, you must know me by now.

[deicider]

I'll be sure to drag as much sand back in as I can once I've had my morning swim next door.

[firstworldproblem]

Cosmo might have a heart attack on the spot. Things out of place do bother him so.

You could wake me. Though I will be staying on the sands.

[deicider]

You are really too generous to me.

[firstworldproblem]

And when was the last time someone spoiled you?

[deicider]

You should remember. I only inspire this behavior in you.

[firstworldproblem]

Correction. When was the last time someone other than I spoiled you?

[deicider]

You're the one who gave me a taste for it; I'm not interested in being doted on by just anyone.

[firstworldproblem]

[He kisses their cheek.]

Oh, be greedy. No one can spoil you as I can, but you do deserve it.

[deicider]

Can I be greedy with you, in the mean time? How about a lesson after we fall asleep?

[firstworldproblem]

Your first magic lesson?

Of course. Though if I promise you that, I might need a potion to help you fall asleep.
