I think so. Don't forget, Hythlo, we humans do things faster because we don't live as long as you guys do.
I'm not sure if we'll be doing it at home or at the Sevii Islands. Doing it at home appeals, but snow outside the mountains is an affront to god and man in my opinion. *Jack* thinks snow's romantic. I'll... probably let him win, if we can get enough heaters to make things comfortable.
You get a plus-one, by the way. I'll even play nice if it's Hades. Tyler's been telling me not to reply to him ever if he gets in my face and he's probably right about that.
Well, I’m all fairness, I died before we agreed on it! Thirty years is not the longest that two people have ever sought to revise a contract, yet neither is it ideal when your goal is marriage.
I, too, spent my time in primarily warm weather and it is what I prefer... Yet snow can truly be very romantic! I think I would have braved the cold to etch such a scene into my mind.
Are you sure you want to allow me to invite Hades? Think carefully, Steven. That is inviting entirely too much disaster.
You must be in too good of a mood right now. Picture him at your wedding for me, for a moment.
... right. That. Might not be the best idea, yeah. I mean, *Dirk* would probably invite him as his plus one even if you don't, so we might be stuck with him, but.
Yeah. Okay. No. Maybe... maybe bring someone else as your plus one. Not that I know who yet. *Have* you started getting hits on Gravlr yet?
I. Saw your new graphics for your BDSM services. They're very... impressive.
Impressive! Well, we shall see. I may have to run it for a few weeks before anyone’s curiosity tips them over the edge... to leave a message, that is. As it is, I habitually miss those calls with how late they tend to be...
Oh yes, I had someone else in mind. Have you met Johann?
If I weren't with Jack, I'd very much ask if I could sit in and watch some of your sessions.
And yes, that *would* be a problem with your schedule. Sadly, the times most people want to have their booty calls are also the times you're most likely to be asleep. (This is because they're usually at work during your free hours midday.)
Also, I know Johann in passing. I sent him something that wasn't RenFaire garb after he bitched about it on the network. He's a cute guy. And musicians are sexy in general.
Oh? Do I owe you a compliment? He was dressed very handsomely for our meeting.
Oh come now, does Jack prevent you from attending the theater as well? If it is merely a matter of proper invitation, I could extend the invitation to both of you.
Of course he lets me go to the theatre. I mean, there's a slight difference between attending the theatre and going to watch a *private sexy performance* at someone's house.
The thing about Jack is... well. He doesn't like to feel like he's *not enough* for someone, so if he's *with* someone and he thinks they think he's not *enough* for them--because they (for instance) comment on how attractive the guy teaching them baking is or the guy they met at the gym is or something like that--then it makes him upset.
Conversely, however, he likes to think he's got a lot of love to give, more than just one person, so if *someone else* propositions him, he might very well go along with said proposition.
I love him a lot, but he's a little *difficult* about these things. Worth it, though.
So. You know. If you want to extend these invitations, you can. Just address it to Jack and make it seem like he's the one you're really interested in having over.
I'm glad you're getting laid, Hythlo. I really am.
I guess if you'd bring him as a plus-one, then you must be getting along together well. Which, you know, is good? Maybe you won't ever stop missing what you had with Hades (and why would you? you're quite literally part of each other) but there's nothing wrong with finding someone new to be happy with too, even if it's a different way than it was with Hades. (I mean, *he* did.)
I am as well! It is too soon to tell one way or the other... But Johann and Hades get along very well, at least. I learned Johann's name from him as a recommendation of sorts.
The worst part, really, is I had centuries to perfect Hades as a lover, so it is a touch frustrating to start anew, as it were.
You needn't worry. I play a more passive role with him. There is no fun in breaking a delicate man. I am, however, teaching him techniques that I perfected myself, as there is quite the joy in bringing the teeth and claws out of the meek.

Yeah. Totally bring him.

[He mulls this strategy over. It’s simple enough for certain and he’s sure he can say the sort of words that Jack likes to hear.]
I already have the perfect plan. But you will have to just wait and see.

[Damn his imagination. That was certainly an... interesting mental image.]
Yes. I suppose there would be.
