[The lull of the sea caused Lahabrea’s eyes to droop as the gentle rustling of the leaves above added to this tranquil ambiance. He was tired but at peace. The comfortable silence urged him into a twilight sleep, one that would be cut short by Elidibus's quiet utterance. Hephaistos opens his eyes once he heard the young man call his name. It takes him a moment to register what’s being said, but once he does—Hephaistos does a doubletake.

He nearly jerks out of Elidibus’s embrace with a panic-stricken expression. A panic forged by the betrayal he suffered at the cruel hands of Athena. He stares down at Elidibus with an unreadable gaze, one filled with mistrust and fear. However, the fear within his carmine gaze lessen the longer he stares into those tranquil blue pools. This isn’t Athena, this is Themis. Themis would never harm him. The Emissary always worked for the greater good of the Convocation. This man is his savior, is he not? He’s the only one to bring out of Athena’s shadow, and into the light once again.

Themis.

[He whispers his name like a little prayer, the trepidation he once felt ebbing away like morning dew.]

What lies between us is no idle dalliance, not when the emotions between us are this strong. For decades now we have shared fleeting glances only to part ways after casting them. Never could we indulge in the passion that lies between us or allow our love to blossom.

[A sigh escapes him as he lays back down now that sudden rush of aderdaline leaves him. He’s comfortable again, and that’s a good thing.]

…Therefore, I suppose I wouldn’t be opposed to exploring such relations further. I would be remiss to do otherwise, especially when every fiber of my being yearns for it.

[He wraps his arms around Themis and gives him a little squeeze.]

Then it’s settled, yes? We’re…lovers.
