Thanatos inhales deeply once again, then exhales slowly. "Right. Right, you—we have time. You—you said you'd wait, and—and I still don't understand why."

Permalink

"I think I can make it so after my mortal self dies I retain the ability to be up there on the surface. I think... I'm not sure, but Nyx said if anyone could figure out how to manipulate the ties of blood it would be me and I think she's right."

Permalink

"But then... why would you need to even become a mortal in the first place?"

Permalink

"It's... hard to explain. I think I need to... teach myself how to sever that connection so I can manipulate it. If that makes any sense. If I want to mess with them I first need to rebuild them from the ground. I think."

Permalink

"I... think I see."

He still sounds hella unhappy about this, though.

Permalink

"So the other part is that I need to ask you for a favour."

Permalink

"Really, Zagreus?"

Permalink

"I think... if I become a mortal and then just die, I will not be able to regain my godhead. I think there's something I'll need to do as a mortal to ensure I do."

Permalink

"Something...?"

Permalink

"I don't know, yet. I haven't figured that part out. But when I do... I want you to be the one to tell me. You can't, can't tell me who I am, if I regain my memories too early then it will be all for nothing, but you will tell me what it is I must do. If you're okay with that, that is."

"I—Zag, we, we both know I'm going to say yes even if I'm feeling conflicted about it right now, but I would like to make it known that I'm feeling conflicted about it right now."

Permalink

Zag raises a hand up along Than's back to run his fingers through Than's hair. "Yeah. Yeah, I know. I'm sorry."

Permalink

"Ugh, don't be, you hardheaded idiot, of course I want to be the one to do it. I just—ugh, nothing is ever easy with you, is it?"

Permalink

"Sorry," he repeats, but he has a smile on his face and in his voice. "I don't think I know how to be an easy person."

Permalink

"Give me time. Okay? I need to—get used to the idea. Of you not being around, for that long."

Permalink

"Of course, Than. As long as you need."

Permalink

He sighs, but doesn't say anything.

Permalink

Pet pet pet.

"So, how long is your break this time?"

Permalink

"Well, I guess it's... however long I want. And then I'll get back when I should and it should be... fine."

Permalink

"Oh! Does that mean you can fuck me up today?"

Permalink

Thanatos pulls away from the hug to give Zagreus a look. "Zag, have you seriously been—I don't know why I'm even asking, of course you have."

Permalink

"Of course I have!"

Permalink

"Hmm, maybe we should see if Meg's free to join in on the fun, then."

Permalink

Zagreus shivers. "Meg's mean."

Permalink

"As if you don't like that."
