[Jedao kisses him softly, strokes his hair a little.]

What would you like? Massage out some of the muscle aches, maybe? Fancy bath later?

[Jedao has so many fancy bath oils.]

[reformedsinner]

... Heat up one of those soups that John made for me, get a blanket, and curl up with me here on the couch.

You could put on one of your forest soundscapes?

[He brushes another kiss against Jedao's lips.]

Maybe a fancy bath later. But I still have to go talk to Sebastian today. He'll probably hold it against me that I took a full day after we were temporarily paired, as it is....

[deuceoftears]

Very possibly.

You know him already?

[Hakkai talks about him like he does. He goes to fetch the soup, but he's still listening.]

[Hakkai half-turns, pillowing his chin on crossed arms on the back of the sofa as he talks.]

I do. We worked together in the kitchen, and he's helped me in the greenhouse, too.

He's not human, but I'm not sure exactly what kind of nonhuman. He works as a servant and tutor for a young nobleman back home, and has for a few years now.

[What else does he know about Sebastian...]

He likes cats quite a lot.

[deuceoftears]

Mmm. We talked a little about his experiences in the kitchen while you were gone. But I may have given him some implications of confidentiality.

[Hakkai isn't the public, though. Exceptions could be made.]

[reformedsinner]

Anything useful that wouldn't violate your promises to share?

[He smiles, settling into the cushions a bit more deeply.]
