[inevitablerest]

[Thanatos is quiet for a moment, then he lets out a soft huff of air and shakes his head.]

It's a complicated situation... I expect with details I haven't fully grasped. [He isn't going to invalidated what the other god is saying, but he isn't going to pretend that he entirely understands either. The Chthonic gods tend to be far less complicated than the Olympians, and this sounds like something that perhaps they would understand better.

But Set is his friend, and he can understand that at least.]

If you want comfort, I can offer it... but I'm not sure what I can say.

[suetekh]

[Really, there are more details but Set isn't entirely sure where he should start. What more does there need to be said?

So he nods.]

Thank you. I...think I just wanted to talk? I can't say for certain. There's still this anxiety inside of me but it feels better to talk now.

[He's never really had the chance to be able to talk to someone about his problems before. This is the first time.]

[inevitablerest]

[Thanatos nods. Though he had never really done much of it himself, he can understand the value that can be placed in simply talking through a problem. And he is... honoured that Set would feel he can place his trust in him like this.

But this is what friendship is, isn't it?]

If you feel better, then I'm glad.

[And he smiles then - a small, soft thing, but still a smile.]

Do you want to stay here for a while longer?

[suetekh]

Could I? I did wake you up and I know that being woken is...not pleasant. [Set, as a god, did sleep mostly for the enjoyment of it. Like eating. It wasn't exactly a need but something the gods did for no sake other than it was something they liked.

And he's found that being woken before he wakes up on his own leaves him grouchy. He'd never considered this for Thanatos when he'd asked to come over but it is something that he considering now.]

If you want to sleep then I understand.

[inevitablerest]

[Thanatos only shakes his head. He's awake now, and despite his body needing it he has never taken to sleep in the way that his brother so easily does. His nights are often unsettled and he wakes up often, and besides... he does enjoy having Set around.]

No, not at all.

[Getting woken up by stones hitting his window is a new experience for him and had it been anyone else he might have been grouchier about it, but he finds he doesn't mind it this time.]

I'll get us something to drink, and we can sit a while.

[suetekh]

...Thank you.

[The words always feel foreign on his lips. They are not words that he is used to. But ones that he knows Thanatos should hear.]

[inevitablerest]

You're welcome.

[Not used to being thanked, responding to gratitude feels strange to Thanatos as well. He wraps his fingers gently around Set's wrist and stands, lightly pulling him along.]

Come with me, I don't want to leave you sitting here alone.
