[Hades just watches this whole thing play out, squinting at the card that Hythlodaeus takes out, before watching as the little fox takes the wallet and returns it. His eyes then falling to the offered card as he takes it from Hythlodaeus, looking it over with a scrutinizing squint.
Then, he looks up at him with clear suspicion.]
...What is this—why was that in my wallet?
[But then returns Alepou, dancing and spinning near Hythlodaeus' feet. Clearly he wants another treat!!]
[For a moment, Hades keeps that stare on Hythlodaeus as he sets the card down on the table. Incredulous and flat, but then he too turns to his salad. Alepou, being satisfied with his rewards, hops back up into Hades' lap. Curling up, and tucking his face under that featherduster tail of his.]
He is. That is why I caught him. He had somehow fished my Ascian robes from another dimension, it would have been foolish of me to let him escape.
[He takes a bite of said salad, continuing to level a judging stare at Hythlodaeus. Once he swallows said bite, he adds:]
If you think I am impressed with your ability to locate my wallet, place an arbitrary card within it, and bribe animals with treats. I am not.
[ But he leaves it at that. He’ll see what it’s all for later... ]
That is quite a talent! Stole them right from outside your closet, hm? Have I seen these robes?Oh yes, he fancies dear lady Iceheart by the way. Perhaps we should allow them some time to get to know one another better.
[ They do seem to have blown right past their prior discussion. It’ll come back up, maybe. ]
You have not seen these robes, at least as far as I am aware. [a pointed squint, then he continues, looking at his salad again.] Truth be told, I have no idea how he was able to do it. Seeing as it is not...quite as if I had them hung in a closet like you just said. Which is why it would be an egregious oversight to let the beast flee.
[As he explains, he gestures with his fork, ending that thought with the fork into his salad for another bite.]
And yet I know of none that hates boredom as much as you. I'm sure you would prefer to be the Lord of Fun. And what could be more fun than having your little boyfriend over?
[He eyes the little fox.]
...I agree. I suppose even the creatures here have powers yet unbridled by the confines of the universe. I really didn't do too much of my own testing then.
[Hythlodaeus does bring up a good point...he does hate being bored, and he is...curious to see the two engage with one another. Not that he'll admit it outright.]
Yes, all you did was hide from me. But it matters not. Another shall come around, and I will be certain to take better advantage of it.

Come now, this is hardly the end purpose. [ He opens the wallet, takes something out, and gives it back to the Nickit.]
Now, put it back.
[ He hands Hades the card. It seems to be of Hythlodaeus’ design. His business card? It has no useful information on it.]

Because I put it there. [ Helpful. ]
He is very good at what he does, but you knew this. [ He finally picks up his fork and tucks into his salad. ]
