[Hades seems too exhausted to answer, his only response in the twitch of his mouth. Neither a frown nor a smirk - yet one smoothed out soon enough by the brush of Hythlodaeus's lips, which seems consolation enough for him to forgive such smugness.]
[It becomes clear, however, that Hades won't be able to keep himself aloft forever. There's a mild grunt of protest, but when he is negotiated onto his back once more, Hades goes willingly, his breathing deep and irregular like broken waves as he comes back down to earth once more, letting his limbs stretch out where they will. His eyes still hold a vacant if dazzling hue, the blacks of his pupils entirely swallowed up by bright rings of color and a rustling beneath him indicates that he has lost control of the glamour that typically obscures his wings from view, although he seems too overwhelmed to pay them any mind.]
[For a time.]
[Only for a time.]
What reprieve?
[Hades at last puffs out, the inquiry ending on a whine as he tries in vain to squirm away from Hythlodaeus's clever fingers. It is much too soon for that! To think that even now he's denied a moment's rest...!]
[Yet he cannot be too sorry about it. Hythlodaeus seems incredibly smug in the moment, and if this persists, it can only bode well for the future. Oh, but if only he would allow him to gather his words. He still feels overheated and shivery and far too sensitive to bear this sort of attention, much less gather up more than the leftover dregs of a complaint with which to defend himself.]
Here I thought you were helping, but in truth you're being positively wicked. Insatiable creature... taking advantage when I'm vulnerable...
