"You have reached Solus zos Galvus. I fear I am unavailable at the moment, but should your query be of an urgent nature, pray leave a message. I shall endeavor to return it anon."
[Simpler. That's a way to put it. Either way, Hades returns to the task of—oh. Fried eggplant? Is that what he was doing. It takes him just a moment to really take in what he was even doing, everything was autopilot, and finally he's starting to feel like he's in the here and now. Very well, he sets about getting that ready, with the eggplant properly sliced, and the oil getting readied on the stove.
He glances over at Hythlodaeus, his expression withered and sympathetic.]
You should always eat something ere you take such medication. And, 'tis not that their medication does not work, but merely that it is much less instantaneous. It takes time. Though, I know you are not one wont to tolerate suffering.
[He scoots the chair back to rest his arm on the table and his head upon his arm. Even for as sleepy as he naturally looks, he looks truly tired.]
The pain is irritating, but I can focus through it with a little concentration. The weakness in my hand is another issue entirely. That is the intolerable part. They told me it would be like this for a few more weeks.
[Whether that's the truth of the matter or not he's not certain, but it would make some sort of sense. Otherwise, it merely meant that the people were a lower priority. That, or the creatures were more susceptible to such things in general. Whatever the case may be, it did not truly matter.]
Yes, mortal bodies are frail and inefficient. This is much as to why it took me a while to heal my own hurts when Steven decided to act the savage he is.
[Maybe he shouldn't be talking so poorly of a man who saved Hythlodaeus, but he's. Just mad. Still.]
I will take care of you. Do not overdo aught at all, or you will either find permanent damage in the wrist, or will be made to wait far longer. If you need assistance, do not hesitate to call upon me, understand?
[A mistake. He knows it's a mistake, but his heart will not listen.]
[A necessary mistake perhaps. Hythlodaeus is stubborn, and would certainly injure himself worse otherwise.]
...I shall heed your warning then. I cannot imagine tolerating such a hindrance.
[He can see himself spending entirely too much time making Tyler's life worse in return, which he certainly does not desire.]
[Oh how tormenting, to have to resist Hades when he speaks like that. He allows himself to imagine what he might do to him were he not in such a pitiful state to placate himself. He zones out, staring at Hades like this, chin in palm.]
