Lowering the lit flame slowly towards the wick, Phobetor smiles a small, secret smile to himself with a gentle huff, as he hear the other god behind him. His dark eyes watch as the wick catches light, the orange reflected back in his onyx gaze for a moment before he lifts his match to blow it out. Powerful men who do not know how to relax their own minds are not new to him. Still, a worrying case, as even gods can carry too much, for centuries, doing damage they hadn’t even realised.Â
With the dark room now lit with dozens of orange, flickering flames, nestled in candles of all different sizes, Phobetor turns back to the god of death, perched on the end of the bed with a smile. “An untamable beast” he repeats as he draws closer, before pulling up a knee to sit slowly on the edge of the bed opposite, mirth and warmth still in his gaze as he watches candle light flicker in the man’s eyes. “Perhaps you should stop trying to tame it, and start listening to it” he says gently before reaching out a hand towards him. “-and start doing as you’re told” he teases with a small smirk, before his hand gently passes down across his eyes to close them as instructed, letting his finger tips brush across his brow, his warm palm against Thanatos’ nose before it slips away. “Listen to my voice” he says slowly, eyes scanning over the man now he had a moment to study him. He’s not at all what he was expecting. Some gods he had heard about but never met, a shame in this case. Though he looked tired, Phobetor could see the struggle to sleep within him.Â
“Take a deep breath in, let it fill your lungs” he hums, eyes taking a meandering path of an appreciative gaze down his chest. “On the exhale, tell me something that you want..”
