[private] meet the in-laws

This would probably be what Miwako will be feeling if she went to meet his mother.

...

Hypnos discovered that this isn't a very good feeling, as he stands in front of what he supposes is Orpheus' (and formerly his boss') door. Should he knock? Should he teleport just right in? Is he looking away? Should he wait for a secret signal, what...?

Instead the door is opened in the middle of your panic attack. The source of of said panic just... staring at you. Blankly. And stepping out of the way to let him in. Turning away to yawn. Stupid waking reality would rather be sleeping hnnnngh

"Relax."

I'm not going to kill you without good reason after all. Ha ha ha.

Are you telling the god of sleep to relax? Because you just totally did, and Hypnos has to blink himself back from his panic attack to be able to step right in and, er. Closing the door sounds so final...

"I. All right." Pause, and he leans against the door. "...I suppose I woke you up."

Watches his antics with a flat expression, switching to a single raised eyebrow at his comment afterwards. Are you coming in or not, honestly.

There's the resisted urge to roll his eyes at the thought of it. Like I want to be stuck in the body of a female. "Not of my own choice, I assure you."

Fine, fine, coming in, shutting door behind him, and putting as much distance as he can from, er. Her. Him? Whatever.

"Have you been well?" As much as a disembodied doornament can be, anyway.

You're really that scared, aren't you? Pffffff--

Fine. Backing away to lean on the opposite wall, arms folded across his chest. This is the most distance you're getting unless you dive underneath a bed somewhere and cry.

'Since when did you ca-' No, he's feigning civility for once. Do the same. "...Fine, I suppose. Yourself?"

Dude. You're like the personification of snark. He dreads talking to you.

And of course he'd be civil, for his honor, you have to give him your blessing. Mostly.

"Fine as well." Looking away now. Awkwaaard. "Has Miwako been out long?"

Silly god. No amount of civility is going to make this any easier. Especially since he already knows.

Awkward? What's that? Have a careless shrug. "I wouldn't know. I only woke up recently, once I knew you would come here."

This is going to end well, won't it?

"I see."

He folds his arms, before pushing himself off the door and just. Standing there. "Do...you wish to, er, change that body or...?"

♫~

Flat stare again. Now is this bribery or you still floundering for a different subject than the one you're actually here for? "What do you think?"

okay that came out on reflex my bad

It's bribery :D Because he bites his lip to keep from grinning outright and unfolds his arms, taking a step towards him.

"...I suppose you want to be Miwako's best man at the wedding?"

Sighs a bit. Completely calm in lieu of that question. "That makes for a good incentive..."

Then the faintest smile. Oh that only took you how long?

"Though I'm afraid you no longer gain the initiative. Miwako has already told me of your proposal."

What.

MIWAKO HE WAS HALF-JOKING ;A; sdfjdskahfdk well there goes the element of surprise with this one.

"I...see." Nope, his nervousness did not increase tenfold. "And...incentive? Surely not. A good thing, perhaps..."

"Do not change the subject."

Escape route: shot down. Not advancing, or even moving, but still leering from his place against the wall. "The only reason you even offered repairing this body was so you could get on my good side when you actually asked, correct?"

Fuck, did he hate talking with the jaded ones, they were so hard to manipulate.

Frown. Is it a real one? Maybe. "Do you really think I will stoop down to that level, Orpheus?"

"Perhaps. I make no claims to know you well. And despite Miwako's constant claims that we're similar, I cannot stand you... Because you're a coward."

You hide behind your mother when Zeus gets mad. You flip out on humanity, but use pawns to prevent actually facing it yourself. Even with this, I heard it from your girlfriend before you. Spineless coward.

"That said, you have my blessing."

Now get out of my apartment.

His eyes widen, and then narrow, and his lips draw into a thin line of 'shut the fuck up.' He knows he's flawed, but he doesn't need it to be pointed out, thanks.

"At least I believe in the causes that I fight for," he says under his breath. Calm. That blessing, he needs it, and it won't do if he retracts it.

"You have my thanks," he says between gritted teeth, snapping his fingers to change the body he has given Orpheus. Should we remind you of that?

But it's our job to remind you of it? Also it's a personal preference, since egging people on is the only way to get honest reactions from a world founded on lies.

"Hm. A coward and traitor. Two sides of the same coin, if you think about it."

Shrug, ignoring the vibes of hate. Lalala~ thanks for the fix. Didn't expect you to, actually. And it's not that he's not grateful for it. Just it's more fun to make you truly mad than to see you fake being nice. "I don't see why you needed my opinion in the first place. This is something between you and her, and no one else."

The only reason you got said blessing in the first place, if you think about it.

Hypnos splutters at this, raising an eyebrow at him. "Traitor? Watch your words," he growls, wings pressing themselves flat against his head, hackles rising, even.

You're trolling us again :| "It is a matter of honor, since you are the one whom she considers closest family. And I understand that you are her guardian of sorts." Stealing away brides leaves a bitter taste in his mouth, thanks.

And then he realises that Orpheus' blessing doesn't actually hinge on the fact that he likes Hypnos, and his expression? Turns from frown to snarl.

... Blink. "I... was referring to myself as the traitor, actually..." That's actually the one thing he wouldn't call you. Even though you're a bastard, you never once betrayed what you held dear.

Maybe. "I suppose I could be called that. And as her guardian, I would say her happiness should be the thing I keep the most consideration towards in regards to this."

Still apathetic. Hmm~? Why so angry? So what if you're disliked, at least you're still respected.

Wait, wait. So...wait. Two sides of the same coin, him and you? What. What. Whatever Miwako said, they're in no way alike. (Or so he thinks, thank you.)

He stares at Orpheus blankly, before snorting back a laugh.

"Precisely." Pause. "Thus I trust you that you will protect her from me, should I be in any position to harm her because of...what she is."

Pffffff--just as skeptic as you, bro. Go convince your girlfriend otherwise 'cause I had no luck with it. :|

"You mean to say in case you choose, either by your own will or against, to side with your mother in place of her." Such is the curse of falling in love with a Tits!Seal. Quiet a second, before exhaling, "The fact that I have given you permission in the first place means that I believe you would not do this."

Not to say I won't rip your wings off if I have to. But that's the closest you'll ever get to him liking you at this point.

That makes him smile, a genuine, if not self-mocking one, and he averts his eyes.

"I...am grateful, I suppose." ~~why can't we be bros and get drunk together and everything ;__;~~ It's enough, and he can...almost like Orpheus back. Almost. He's still a dick :|

"...also, the children seem to like you." DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS NIICHAN? DO YOU? You're going to be stuck babysitting them. Forever.

"You suppose." ~~Hell no, I am not dragging your drunk ass back to the apartment.~~ Almost is probably the best they'd ever manage.

Blink. ... Shrug. "I guess I'm good with kids?" God dammit I knew you would say thatttttt.
