[He doesn't seem to mind. Maybe Hypnos just needs the comfort right now, and that's fine. Thanatos gives his brother's arm another pat as they leave the building and start heading for the market area of town.
One of them alone tends to draw glances, with their height and unusual colouring. Both of them together provokes outright staring from some people. Thanatos can only sigh quietly at the sensation of eyes on him.]
No, I wasn't doing anything important. [Actually, he can't quite remember what he was doing. Reading?] If I was, I would have still stopped doing it.
[ It's hard not to feel the eyes on them, but he's doing his best to ignore it. He's doing his best to not try and slouch and hide himself a little, the best he can. He walks with Thanatos. He didn't mean to disrupt, all the same. He hadn't figured it would turn into something like this, but he's also not disappointed. He'd ask for advice about going on the date, but he's not sure Thanatos even knows much about how dates work here. So he doesn't. ]
Well, I appreciate it, Thanatos. I really don't know what I'm doing here, but I want to try.
[Well, that makes two of them. He can appreciate his brothers fumbling attempts into a relationship as they go alongside his own, because he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to Zagreus either.]
It's good to see you focusing on something. [He says, glancing up at Hypnos with a faint smile.]
[ There's something about Thanatos smiling that makes him feel lighter and happier, too. Even something small and faint. He's already pretty happy about everything going on here, so of course he's happy about this. ]
She's -- she's pretty and kind. She's patient with me and she's really good at art. Her name is Jane, and the first thing she said to me was "You're tall" when we met. She doesn't treat me like the god of sleep and isn't afraid of or weird about it.
[ Which honestly means a lot to him. ]
And she told me about this café when we met and I asked her if...we can make it a date. Which I'm still figuring out and that's okay, I hope.
[It's... nice, somehow, to hear Hypnos speaking about someone like that. Despite the peculiar sensation of jealousy still prickling at him he can't deny that he's happy to know that his twin is... happy.]
I'll make sure you look your best.
[And he lifts a hand, gently ruffling the back of his brother's hair.]
You should comb this mess, too.
i think we're near an end/or at a good end spot here. <3
My hair -- I'll make sure there's no tangles or anything.
[ But if he had to say there was one thing he likes about himself, it would definitely be his hair. He considers it one of his better characteristics. ]
I am in your hands, big brother.
[ A playful nudge of Thanatos after his hand ruffles his hair. ]
