Hey now, I'm sincere, remember?

[It's one of his only actual virtues.]

[divus]

Well, I guess you got me there.

[Teasingly, she touches a fingertip to his nose, but then more tenderly, caresses the likely-swollen skin beneath his eyes.]

[goatsongs]

[Definitely swollen from recent crying, and that cuts off his teasing right away.]

...I must look pretty pathetic right now.

[divus]

You look honest.

[goatsongs]

[why does she have to turn that around on him immediately.]

That doesn't rule out the first part.

[divus]

Well, I kind of like the you that you don't want to show. I don't think it's pathetic.

[goatsongs]

...You really don't?

[It's hard to believe that from anyone, but especially from someone who could do so much better.]

[divus]

[She laughs gently.]

Of course not. I like you. That means liking the parts that aren't as pretty.

[goatsongs]

You've got some bad taste. ...but I like you too, so. I'm glad.

[how are they this soft I hate this actually]

[divus]

I get that all the time.

[She grins before tipping his hat back and leaning her forehead into his.]

[goatsongs]

People confessing their undying like to you left and right, huh?

[He presses a kiss to her lips, soft and chaste.]

[divus]

[She laughs, her eyes closing as her lips curl in a smile.]

Well, maybe that, too.

[goatsongs]

Somebody said you might be the most powerful god here. I'm thinking they might be right.

[The power... of harems.]

[divus]

I can't help wondering who would say a thing like that. Well, I don't know if it would be fair of me to agree or disagree one way or another.

[goatsongs]

I'll agree for you and you can keep being modest.

[divus]

It's a deal.

[...]

Are you feeling a little better?

[goatsongs]

Yeah. Thanks.

...Can I still hold you a little longer?

[Even though he's doing better.]
