[ wha ] [ oh ] [ Lupine spends a moment on his back in bed, then levers himself up and slips out. Into a bathroom instead, so the light won't wake anybody else.
He could've just left Hades on read until morning. It's definitely late.
...But. It's an honest relief to hear from him, after their truncated conversations during Last Supper. ]
[Hades takes a moment to get to the door, opening it up to give Lupine a crooked little smile.]
Hello...!
[He's obviously been drinking, he's not just bad at spelling. Hades pulls some of his hair out of his face first, before he reaches out to give Lupine a hug.]
[ You know, if he'd had any doubts, the hug would've dispelled them. A warm embrace would've been a startling greeting even if they'd never run into each other during Last Supper, but given the givens, it's definitely not what Lupine was expecting here. He shifts to help support Hades as best he can. ]
What? [ ...Starting to be a little amused instead of just concerned. ] For drinks, you mean?
[ Hades did mention he could 'bring' them, so there's... probably a bunch of beer or wine or something around the dorm. Here's hoping it's in Hades's room and not already making Tsukky drunk by proxy. ]
[This was definitely a booty call but. Drinks are a good start, and he could have some more, for sure! Like he probably shouldn't but whatever. Bad decisions ahoy!]
You like sake? S'not warm, but not bad. Could probably heat it up if you want.
[ So, what you're saying is, his lack of getting fully dressed will come in handy here? ]
I'm not that picky... but are you sure you haven't already had enough?
[ It's a little bit hilarious how very not on the 'booty call' page he is mentally. Instead he's mentally going through a checklist, like 'well, we're already at his place, so no need to get him home safe...' ]
Feels weird if you are drinking but I am not. What am I to do while you drink? I could try to entertain, but m'afraid I do not have the common skills that men should have in that regard.
[It almost feels shameful for some reason. Men are beautiful, elegant... not like Hades at all. He is sure he can't sing, can't dance.]
[ Honestly the idea of genders having Jobs they're Supposed to Do is just wild to him no matter which way it's sliced. ] [ But, uh, watching, and....... ]
Kind of you.
[ Settling down at whatever kitchenette kinda thing Avante has available. ]
[Look, he's just used to men being small and beautiful and frail and women being big and strong and charismatic! And Hades likes men who are small and beautiful and frail, and he is just so very not that.]
Hmmm... [Hades thinks about that, because he does not remember exactly why he started drinking with Valor. He shrugs.]
To relax, I guess. been a bad day, just don't wanna think about it.
This is why I sent the message to you. It's just sad to drink by oneself, right? No! I am not asking you. I am telling you that is how I feel. I got drunk with Valor and then he left me alone, and I was lonely, and I do not want to go to bed alone tonight.
I do not want to go to bed alone any night, but I am no one's favorite person, and so I will sleep alone more often than not! But not tonight. If you would join me, I mean. You are free to decline of course, even if I am trying to do more of what I want and less of what is expected of me.
[He's mostly rambling at this point, having half a conversation with himself that Lupine is simply not privy to, and that's just what happens when he drinks.]
[ Wow, he got drunk-dialed in the middle of the night for sex, didn't he. That's what this is. But whatever reaction Lupine might've had to that ordinarily, everything else Hades is saying is just so—
[ There's a little part of Lupine's brain that really wants to argue with the idea that not being anyone's favorite person necessarily means sleeping alone. After all, he's pretty sure he's not anyone's favorite, either, but he still has plenty of company.
Probably wouldn't be a super helpful observation right now, though. ]
—Well. [ Pushes his bangs out of his eyes. ] Trying not to stress so much about what you're 'expected' to do is a step in the right direction, for sure.
[ And so was texting him, really, instead of Perse. He should probably be encouraging this whole thing. ]
...You could've been clearer about what you were asking, though. I would not have shown up looking like this if I knew you wanted that kind of company.
[He would actually die of embarrassment if he even thought of trying to booty call Persephone. Thankfully it didn't cross his mind!]
... Why would you not look like this? You look perfectly good as you are now.
[This isn't a date or anything. And Hades is barely dressed as it is, his shirt unbuttoned and askew, showing off a lot of his scarred-up chest, his hair is down, just pulled to a side, and it looks like he's wearing pants only because he can't just have a guest come over and him be nude.]
If you want to go get dressed up though, I would certainly not stop you. [Tail wag! He is flattered at the idea that Lupine might want to dress up for him.] But point taken. Next time I will inform you in the phone letter.
[ Eyebrows just lift a little higher. Pfft phone letter. ]
I'll take that as a compliment, but what I mean is I probably wouldn't have bothered with the pants. [ Tiniest smirk. ] This shirt's long enough to be decent for an elevator ride.
[ —stupid tail. Pulled focus, and now that he's no longer focused on the 'mystery' of what Hades wanted, he's. very reminded of the fact that Hades's corruptions include dog ears, and that's...
Biting the inside of his cheek. Well, it's already helping him get in the right mood here. ]

🐺: Yeah I'm up
Re: Night, 449
HADES: CAAN I COME OVR
HADES: OR WULD THAT B WIERD
HADES: I CAN BRING DRINJ
[Hades just always has caps lock on. Bigger letters for his big hands.]
Re: Night, 449
🐺: It wouldn't be weird but I'm not at home rn
[ He can't invite people over to other people's dorms. :|a ]
🐺: I could come to you?
Re: Night, 449
HADES: I M OUTDIDE AVANR ROOM
Re: Night, 449
🐺: omw
[ He does take a few minutes, pulling clothes on? Hair's in a messy bun when he gets upstairs to knock and he's got his PJ top on over leggings. ]
🐺: I'm here
Re: Night, 449
Hello...!
[He's obviously been drinking, he's not just bad at spelling. Hades pulls some of his hair out of his face first, before he reaches out to give Lupine a hug.]
You wanna come in here?
Re: Night, 449
What? [ ...Starting to be a little amused instead of just concerned. ] For drinks, you mean?

Re: Night, 449
Heh, when you put it like that, I'm pretty sure I'm lacking whatever skills you're talking about, too.
[ ...He's going to steer Hades gently into the kitchen. ]
We could have tea, or — water.
[ Definitely not coffee in the middle of the night...? ]
Re: Night, 449
Mmmmhhh, no. Today is not a day for tea or water.
[It is a bad decisions day, Lupine!
Hades does go into the kitchen after some coaxing though, but he immediately goes for a cabinet in which he has sake stored, pulling out a bottle.]
I will drink less than you, so you can catch up.
Re: Night, 449
Kind of you.
[ Settling down at whatever kitchenette kinda thing Avante has available. ]
What're we drinking to? Or for.
Re: Night, 449
Hmmm... [Hades thinks about that, because he does not remember exactly why he started drinking with Valor. He shrugs.]
To relax, I guess. been a bad day, just don't wanna think about it.
Re: Night, 449
Well. That's fair. [ Propping his chin up. ] —So you were looking for a distraction?
