It seems... that maybe it is easy for people to make monsters of what they can see, without looking for more. I cannot imagine anyone hating you, truthfully.
[Scratching at his head sheepishly.]
Haha, and while you might think the same for me, there was plenty of reason to hunt me down, even if I think it was more complicated than even I know at this time.
Well.
Anyway, I am glad that neither of us need to go through that here. This place has been described to me as somewhat like Malfeas, but the people here are far from demons.
[The Hades he knows is so very different than Hiroto was. Hades isn't even sure he could ever claim that name again, because that man is so far removed from who he is now. He doesn't know why though.
His tail wags, anyway!]
I am glad... that I have become a man who can be called kind. I think you deserve all of the kindness in the world.
[Oh. Right, there's also - this part. He's not so innocent that he doesn't know what this leads into. But he's never kissed anyone before, he doesn't know how-
Well, but it's Hades. Hades won't laugh at him if he doesn't do it right.
Bright red, but filled with determination, Robin stretches up on his toes and clumsily presses his lips to Hades'.]
Well. I will certainly make the time I can for you, Robin.
Mmh. Before we try to progress this any further though... Ah. I did want you to be aware that I had been intending to court Persephone of sensitIV... I think it would be better for me, and for him as well, if I did not, but. I do have feelings for him, and I did not want that to be a surprise to you. Especially since I feel very strongly about our relationship, as unitmates, as friends, and as anything more if you should still deem me acceptable.
[There is. A hope that Hades has, that he will fall head over heels for someone, maybe for Robin, and that he can be happy, be satisfied with never pursuing Persephone.]
Anyway, I suspect my feelings are not returned. So perhaps it will come to nothing. And. If we progress our relationship and you wish to become exclusive...
... I can do that. [He thinks. He hopes. He isn't actually sure he can.]
[Persephone... Robin met him only the one time, but he certainly was very beautiful. He really doesn't know him well enough to say more than that.]
That's okay Sometimes you have feelings even though dating wouldn't really work out There's someone at home like that, for me So it wouldn't be fair to hold that against you
[He has no idea if he'll ever see Shiori again, and if he did, whether she would remember him or not. But she'll always be someone special to him.]
I think... that he and O have a complicated relationship. Still, he is very kind to me, and has helped me before, even though he has every reason not to.
[He sighs. He doesn't yet know enough about The Hundred Kingdoms to know that having multiple relationships simultaneously isn't uncommon(even if they're not usually equal), but there is something there that tells him that it's fine, if your heart is pulled in multiple directions.]
The good thing is that Love is not finite. No matter how much you spare for one, you will never have less that can be given to another, so of course I do not begrudge you your love, as well.
But, well. Sometimes your feelings are not fair, so if it makes you feel bad, we can talk about it. Right? I trust you.

I spent a long time living in the forest, running from people who would see me dead.

I spent my life trying to protect them from a vengeful spirit they didn't believe existed
I'm sorry you went through that

[Pets it again.]
no subject
Date: 2022-09-04 08:42 am (UTC)It feels so strange to have such a thing as a warrior, aha. It acts without my thinking an it, wagging anytime it pleases.
[It is trying to wag a little while being pet, though it's hindered a little by hands.]

Date: 2022-09-04 02:01 pm (UTC)Ah, Robin. You seem so incredibly innocent.
This is... It is a start! If you would like to. "Explore" some more, we can.
[He pauses then, turning to face Robin, his free hand going to tilt Robin's head up to look at him with a finger.]

Was that too much, too quickly?

Date: 2022-09-04 02:29 pm (UTC)He shakes his head - no, that wasn't too much.]
It was really nice
