Prompts here! ( TY!! In Hades PoV just for fun! :) )

“Now, Emet-Selch... If you make a face like that, I might get the impression that you'll really miss me~”

“As if.” I answer before I have even time to think, turning a cheek.. perhaps a little too swiftly to avoid seeing the coy smile the Azem must now be wearing. “I am only seeing you off as I’ve nothing else to do. That and... Hythlodaeus has other matters to attend to.”

"Oh, don't be like that~ I know you'd have come even if Hyth were here~ Have you ever once missed my sendoff despite your other oh-so-important duties~?" She puts a hand to her lips and giggles lightly in response; a sound that I, in truth, quite rarely hear thanks to our usual bickering.

It is... much more charming than I remember it being.

And she is right, of course, but I simply brush off the thought and scoff in return. "It is only natural to send off a fellow member of the Convocation-"

"And yet, you're the only one here~?" She interrupts, gesturing past me to, well, no one, really.

"It's... alright to say you'll miss me, Hades-" I turn from the empty space behind me to see her pull the mask from her face, the expression resting on her features unexpectedly gentle as she takes a step closer, outstretching a hand to softly cup my cheek. "I am the only one who will hear..."

Ah... and, with just so few words, my heart weakens.

I close my eyes with what I am sure is an obviously troubled expression, a hand of my own resting over hers for all of a silent moment.

"Eris... You will return." Won't you? I skip past the last words to say them in statement, though... she can surely feel that they are much more of a question-

"Of course, dear Hades~ I always do." -one she answers without missing a beat, letting out another little titter of a laugh, surely at having seen through to my childish troubles, tilting my chin downwards to press a small kiss to my forehead.
