[Sigh.]

Really, Hypnos?

[Really? Is the bed he has at home not comfortable enough that he feels he has to be sleeping on the floor next to a bench in the park? The god of sleep would open his eyes to find his brother standing over him, one eyebrow arched and arms folded.]

Just what do you think you're doing?

[verytired]

[ The air is nice and he's comfy. He doesn't really seem at all bothered by Thanatos' obvious frustration. He lets out an easy laugh at himself over this, and stretches his arms above his head. ]

Taking a nap outside before I work a little.

[ It's certainly simply a little bit of work, but he sees it as at least he's doing some. And it was intended to be a short nap... Although he had totally lost track of time, so it seems to have turned into a longer nap. It's fine, he doesn't have much of a schedule as long as he gets work done. ]

Did you want to join me?

[ He knows better than to think his brother will say yes, but he still asks. ]

[inevitablerest]

Do I want to join you. On the ground. To sleep?

[Is the answer to this not obvious? Thanatos isn't even sure why the question was asked to begin with and lets out an irritated - but soft - grunt in lieu of an actual response.]

Get up before someone decides to rob you while you're sleeping.

[At least sit on the bench, Hypnos!]

[verytired]

Yes! You can enjoy the fresh air as you nap.

[ He lets out a lazy laugh and shifts a little, sitting up a bit better as he looks up towards his big brother. He may be taller, but Thanatos always felt bigger. And he especially does like this. He's okay with that, though. ]

No one is going to rob me.

[ He shrugs, moving his hands through his pockets. ]

I'm not an idiot. I keep my things at home!

[ Well, except his device to logon to the network, but what's the worst someone can do with that? Surely that makes it okay to sleep wherever. ]

[inevitablerest]

[Squint.

Enjoy the fresh air as you nap? Only Hypnos would come up with something so ridiculous. Well, now he's here, Thanatos can't very well leave him alone if he's going to be falling asleep outside like this.

He doesn't sit on the floor, but he takes a seat on the bench behind where Hypnos is sitting and rests his hand on top of his brother's head for a moment, ruffling his fingers lightly through his soft hair.]

You're absurd.

[But he's still here, isn't he?]

I admit I never saw the both of us spending time outdoors like this.

[verytired]

I am. And you don't even mind it anymore.

[ He tilts his head back and looks up towards his brother, smiling wide. It's genuine and wide. He's delighted to see and be around his brother. He knows he'd probably even take some time with Thanatos over a nap.

Probably. ]

I like it outside. It's nice. It's different. And it is easy to talk to people. Like as easy as it was at home. Except I'm not welcoming anyone who just died.

So people are more inclined to hang out.

[ He sighs, sounding pleased. ]

But I'd trade that for anytime with Than.

[inevitablerest]

[He does roll his eyes slightly but Hypnos is right - he hardly minds this anymore. If he did then he certainly would not be here indulging his twin in such a manner.]

Absurd... [Thanatos mutters again with a shake of his head. Yet, here he is... still sitting here, dealing with Hypnos' persistent absurdity both because it is comfortable and familiar and because he does love his brother even if he often finds him annoying.]

Sit up here with me, at least. You're going to get dirty down there.

[verytired]

It's just a little dirt.

[ And he doesn't seem bothered. He sleeps outside enough that it's just come to be a part of him enjoying his time outdoor. Still, he shifts up then moves to take a place next to his twin. He does it only because he knows that Thanatos is indulging him despite his annoyance. ]

Alright, I'll sit up here with you.

[ Obviously he wouldn't bother if his brother weren't here. ]

And please, Thanatos, you know you wouldn't bother if I weren't at least a little absurd. It's how it works with us! You'd go crazy without a little bit of absurd in your life.

[inevitablerest]

[It's easier to indulge his twin now than it used to be, with their relationship being so much better than it was. When Hypnos joins him on the bench he looks across at him with a faint smile, shaking his head indugently.]

I think I could manage well enough without it, but since it's you I suppose I'll just have to deal with it won't I.

[So many of the people closest to Thanatos are utterly absurd in so many ways. Hypnos and Zagreus are most assuredly the worst offenders when it comes to being purveyors of absurdity.]

If you're still tired, it's fine. Go back to sleep.

[And he pats his lap gently in invitation.] You don't get this offer every day.
