HELLO! This is HADES! Please leave me a MESSAGE if I don't pick up! I will try to RESPOND.

It's definitely true, I wouldn't say it if it weren't.

[That'd be mean? And awful to Hades?]

I... I think you're wonderful, Hades. You make me feel warm when I even think about you, and I'm always thinking about you even when you're not there, and when we're together I'm very happy. You make me feel like I'm someone special, when I've never thought of myself that way.

[daios]

[It would be alright, he thinks, if anyone were awful to him.]

I should not be the only one to do that for you, because you are special.

... I... I do not know what to say. I do not even know what love feels like, if this is it, but. Mhh. You make me happy, so I want to find out.

[gemuinemanagement]

I don't either, really. But... I want to feel more of this feeling with you.

[He swims a little closer to Hades, so he can reach for his hands to squeeze them.]

[daios]

[He is quiet for a moment. Hades is hardly a poet, so it isn't like he has anything romantic to say, just squeezing Robin's fingers with his own.]

I am glad. We have plenty of time yet to figure out what we are doing.

I am sorry that I am not capable of serenading you back.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's okay. I can hear your voice all the time.

[Even if he can't sing, Robin still likes Hades' voice.]

[daios]

Hah. Perhaps I could write you a poem instead, sometime. I may have given myself to a soldiering lifestyle, but I still have some ability to compose.

[gemuinemanagement]

[!!!!]

That would make me really, really happy! If you wanted to.

[daios]

I want to do whatever it is that makes you happy, of course.

[If Robin likes the idea of a poem for him, then Hades can make something for it. It isn't too hard, even for him!]

And... I am very glad that I got to hear you sing!

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm glad too. This game has been wonderful.

[daios]

It really has. And not too humiliating, too.

[gemuinemanagement]

It would have been a lot more difficult without you.

[daios]

[Ah... that's cute...]

Hah, I can safely say the same. I have done these games before, and they can be very embarassing.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm always happy to help you out. ...B-but especially when it's like this.

[Look, he admitted he likes kissing and Other Things with Hades and he didn't turn into a tomato.]

[daios]

[Tail wag!]

Well, hopefully we will have plenty more opportunity to make pleasant memories like these ones.

[gemuinemanagement]

I hope so too. -We don't need to wait for a game for them if we don't want to.

[daios]

You are right, of course. Perhaps we could... um... like have. A romantic dinner. Or something like that.

[gemuinemanagement]

That sounds great.

[...pause.]

I don't know how to give myself legs like this though. So it might be hard to get to a restaurant.

[daios]

Well, it need not be right now.

[He kicks his feet in the waves, smiling.]

Just this is nice too. We do not need to go anywhere or do anything. I simply want to hear your voice, for as long as I am able.

[gemuinemanagement]

And I want to talk to you and tell you everything I've ever wanted to say. I really like you, Hades.

[They could go on like this for some time.]

[daios]

Mmh! I really like you too, Robin. While you have a voice, please tell me everything about yourself! I want to know. How old are you? What is your birth date? Have you ever had any pets? What is your favorite color? I suspect it is black, but I still would like to know from your mouth.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Hades wants to know more about him... He's happy.]

I'm twenty-two. My birthday is March 3rd. I've never had any pets, and my favorite color is black, but light blue is a close second.

[daios]

Twenty two! Hahah~ I suppose I do not need to ask if you have had any children, then. You knew I did, right? She is very young yet, only about six. I only got the one memory of her so far, though.

I do not remember if I had pets before. Much of my life is yet a mystery to me, so I will have to settle for hearing all about yours.

[gemuinemanagement]

Six... She must be very cute, if she's your daughter.

[The cuteness genes must be passed on.]

I'm not that interesting, really. You know that I made jewelry - protective charms to keep malevolent spirits away - and that I was cursed by a ghost who took my voice as a child.

[daios]

I think you are VERY interesting! Malevolent spirits... Ghosts where I am from are a really big deal, you know. Just one unsettled spirit can mean the end of a village, easily, so we need to be careful to send everyone off. I am just some kind of soldier, until... Ah. Until everything else happens.

But here! You can see her.

[He will go in an re-purchase the memory of him playing with his daughter. This memory is the one that has him hesitant to fully cast off his previous self.]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Gasps in delight!]

She's so cute. And so are you.
