[themomentof]

Oh, uh

Happy to help?

[receptacles]

I'm happy if you're happy.

[themomentof]

You should be happy for yourself.

[receptacles]

[ that does make him laugh. ]

You really know every right thing to say, huh?

[themomentof]

Does it seem like that? I just think living for others happiness might be... painful.

[receptacles]

You're not wrong...

I do like to do it anyway?

But it does get tiring.

...It's a really — I don't know if I'm making sense. But it's a really seductive thought. Getting to rest.

You're being very seductive with this.

[themomentof]

Describing rest as seductive is...

When was the last time you were able to relax?

[receptacles]

Um... like besides when I sleep?

I guess after Bronya became Supreme Guardian, we all went out for juice.

[ he's being so serious right now. ]

[caelus...]

Well at least that explains why it's so tempting to you. I won't tell you not to do what you need to do but... the next time you find yourself with some free time, come back to Belobog. I might not be the best host but I can at least make sure you're fed and get some sleep.

[receptacles]

Can I really?

And I won't bother you or anything?

[ he really, truly knows that it's stupid to ask, but if he were the type of person to genuinely rest when told, he wouldn't be in this situation anyway. sometimes you just gotta hear it from someone else. ]

[themomentof]

[the obvious answer would be "no, never." but somehow, it seems like...]

Yes, you can. And if you do, I promise I'll let you know. [maybe it's more reassuring to know he'll be honest.]

[receptacles]

...Thank you, Gepard.

Really, really, thank you.

I'll come take a nap with you sometime soon.

It means a lot to me.

[themomentof]

Of course, Caelus. However you need me, I'll be there.
