[Sigh...]
I wondered if you'd like to spend some time with me.
I wondered if you'd like to spend some time with me.
I suspected you wouldn't, but I wanted to give you the opportunity regardless.
[Hypnos... Thanatos just looks at that confession for several long moments before he replies again.]
I'll remember.
Meet me outside the inn in 20 minutes.
I'll remember.
Meet me outside the inn in 20 minutes.
I mean it, Thanatos.
I'll be there.
[ And he will be there, even a few minutes early because he lives in the hotel and it's not like he goes very many places. All he had to do was change into something that wasn't too hot since it was starting to get warm outside and regretfully, too hot for hoodies sometimes. Still pants and top are oversized, and he's wearing some comfy sneakers. He almost could be mistaken for human. ]

[It isn't something he replies to, but it's enough to make him think as he quickly gets ready. Much like Hypnos he doesn't tend to dress in a way that highlights his status and the garb he arrived in has been neatly packed away, and when he steps outside he's dressed fairly casually (for him) yet still smartly, in dark trousers and a light grey shirt left open at the collar.
It's warm out there, after all.
He looks at his twin for a few long, silent moments. Thanatos shifts in place, then he reaches out and lightly clasps Hypnos' upper arm. Just for a second.]
Come on.
[Even in the short amounts of time they've been able to spent together over the years, they've never done something like this. Still... Thanatos is confident that his brother will enjoy himself.]
You look comfortable.

[ He shifts, standing upright as Thanatos clasps at his arm. The action is gentle, but Hypnos can't recall the last time he's stood upright next to his brother. It's always felt -- weird? He's much preferred looking up to his brother. But he's comfortable and happy. More than he has been ever before. So he'll allow himself a small bit of confidence in his posture. ]
Well, I look comfortable because I am. It's weird dressing like this, you know?
[ An amused glance. ]
But humans got a few things right - and that's comfortable clothing. I'd never say it's better than what I have from home, but it at least compares.

[So how do you go about texting a God out the blue without offending them? Ngh... prayer was far easier, but that wouldn't work in this realm would it?
...Medea knew that Hypnos was probably the best one to advise on such matters, wasn't he? So, hopefully he wouldn't be too furious at a text in the late evening.]
hypnos
please forgive my contacting you this way
i wished to seek your guidance if it did not trouble you
my dreams have been
turbulent
of late
[Nightmares were to be expected after everything that happened the past month or so, were they not? But still... There was a pause as Medea agonised for far too long on how to finish her message.]
i would ask that if there is any advice you are willing to provide me i would be most grateful
medea

[In a way, Thanatos has never mentally acknowledged that Hypnos towers over him in height. He's the older one, and it only stands to reason that his twin would look up to him in spite of that.]
Mm. [Outside of his usual garb he's found a style of clothing that is comfortable for him, but he's still getting used to the idea of buttons.]
As long as you can fall asleep in it, hm?
[Normally, there would be a barb attached to that kind of statement. When he says it now though it's with only a certain kind of fondness.]

[ He'll answer her as soon as he gets up, it may be a couple of hours, though. He can sleep through a lot of things, anymore ]
Hello, dear Medea. No need to ask for forgiveness. At home, I liked my work because I got to help people in times like this.
But, you will have to be more specific with what you mean by turbulent. Unless you want to show me with cognitive magic.

Of course. What good is something if it's uncomfortable to sleep in.
[ He answers almost immediately. He doesn't sense that it's a jab at him, so he answers it earnestly. He is happy, to be honest. When he's walking with Thanatos, he puts in a sincere effort to not let his gaze seem like he's looking down at his brother. ]
Did you have something planned today, brother?

I know you said not to worry about it but I do feel awkward about taking advantage of your generosity while we were in Celliwig. Are you sure there isn't a way I can pay you back?
- Jane

I'm so sorry for disturbing you!!
I never could get the hang of these contraptions.

Hmm.
[Thanatos doesn't address the first statement, because of course Hypnos would say something like that. It would be very easy to mistake the most important thing in his twin's existence as being sleep, but Thanatos knows very well that that isn't the case.]
I do have something planned. [He says then, glancing up at his twin.] We're going to get something to eat.

[It was a relief to get a positive reply, at least.]
thank you for returning my message
[...But working out how to explain what was going on took a little longer.
Ngh. In the end, she decided to just be direct about the problem.]
nightmares
about people ive lost who are close to me
my fiance
my brother
sometimes about the holy grail war from my world
others about the trials celliwig inflicted on us
jasons wretched smug face even shows itself from time to time

Ah - I see. I hate to be the bearer of what may be obvious news, but it sounds like these things are bothering you and in a constant state of being in the back of your mind.
These are important events? People? Things like that, no?
These sound like things you need to resolve outside of your dreams for the dreams to resolve themselves.
A mind at peace creates a peaceful dream.

[ It's still sometimes weird to be able to see the top of his brother's head, but the fact that he's comfortable standing upright next to his twin is a delight. ]
Something to eat? [ He'd be happy just standing in the sun with his brother, but to actually do something together. Thanatos might catch a happy sigh. ] I like the sound of that a lot, Thanatos.
[ No brother, just - his name. But it's intentional, because it's still quite affectionate sounding from him. He might look just a small bit brighter at the invitation. ]

Nice to meet you too!
I like your user name. There's a god in the mythology of the world I come from with that name.

I thought you might.
[It's... nice. It's nice to be able to spend time with Hypnos without having to rush off back to work, and without being irritated with his twin for being asleep on the job yet again.
Hypnos had never made a secret of wanting to be around him, though his suggestions with regards to how they might achieve it had always fallen flat as far as Thanatos was concerned, but he had never thought there would come a time when it would actually be possible.
He looks up again, noting mentally how his twin isn't slouching. Not missing how happy he looks. Thanatos smiles very slightly.]
And I wanted to talk to you. About Zagreus.

Ah - so you've heard of me! Well, that's me. Hypnos. It's my name.
I didn't really understand the purpose of a username when I made it, so I kept it. Makes it easier for me to be found.
A couple of people have acted pretty strange about this, though, so no need to - well, do that.
