[leicesters]

Hey remember when we talked before about your healing magic?
If you feel like giving it a whirl I know just the person you could try it on

[suetekh]

[Set is still barely functional with the device but hey, he can answer back at least.]

who

[Look at him go.]

[leicesters]

Me
Claude

[juuust in case he forgot who the username belonged to...]

I'm sending you my location so hurry up if you can
please dont tell anyone

[attached is map coordinates to a park near the edge of the city. hopefully just following a marker on a map isn't too complex for him...?]

[suetekh]

[Set definitely has a difficult time of it but at least he gets to the location within twenty minutes as he looks around for Claude. At least he's not calling out for him, since Claude had said that he didn't want anybody to know which is weird to Set but whatever.

But he's walking around, trying to figure out where Claude is.]

[leicesters]

[The location in the park is slightly off, if only so Claude can see Set before Set sees him, and book it if he happened to bring company or was followed.

Trusting enough to ask for help, but paranoid enough to expect the worst to come of it? That's Claude all over.

Still, Set did as asked and showed up alone, so Claude's familiar will flit toward him to get his attention and lead him over. Claude's lounging under a tree, and he almost looks relaxed... right until he looks up. There's a cut along his cheek and jaw -- since healed with a Vita potion, but still leaving blood on his face and clothes -- alongside a heavier wound along the side of his torso, which is still bleeding profusely. He's taken off his sash and is pressing it to the wound to try to staunch the bleeding.]

Hey, Set. Nice of you drop by. [He laughs weakly, but quickly stops with a suppressed wince.]

[suetekh]

[Set, for all of his flaws, wouldn't betray Claude. Although anybody else probably would have found it strange that Claude asked for him to come all the way out here without telling anybody. Set's been betrayed more than enough times by now and yet, seemingly, he hasn't learned his lesson yet.

Luckily, for Set anyway, Claude had no ulterior motive than he was simply paranoid. But when Set sees him, his eyes go wide. This was more than he was expecting and he's...unsure of how to feel that Claude asked him for help.

Luckily for Claude, Set's been dedicated to his magic. He really does want to perfect this. It was for their worlds that they were here, right, so Set needed to do this. As he moves to Claude's side, he's looking over the wound from what he can see.] How deep is it? Is it all the way through? [Maybe that sounds bizarre but he had been stabbed all the way through before he had gotten here so it doesn't seem unlikely? But if that is the case then Set doesnt know if he can fix that and that's what he's worried about. He'd asked Set, hadn't he?]

[leicesters]

All the way... What? [Claude has no idea if pain and blood loss is making him a little muddled, but he's not at all sure he understands the question.] If it was, I'd be dead.

[Anyone would be, he's pretty sure... but maybe that's just the logic of a god? He moves aside the cloth pressed to his wound to show him. It's fairly deep but cut no further than skin and muscle; the blade that grazed his side was being swung by an arm weakened by dark magic.]

text; un: 𓅃

[hor]

[ Look, neither of them are great at this, but Horus discovered the emojis and they're even easier than hieroglyphics so he's immediately diving into them instead of bothering to send Set proper sentences. ]

☀☀🕐
🤤🥗🥗🤤
🥺❓

[ In two suns (Friday) at 1pm, does he want to go out for salads? Pwease? ]

[suetekh]

[He should really, really be paying attention to the username but he's not even looking at that right now.]

what are those pictures

[hor]

[ OKAy.... FINE....... he takes a while to slowly type this out because texting and Ancient Egyptian language was not made to be compatible. He likes the emoji way more. One day he'll find voice to text. ]

Two suns from now when the sun is just past midday, let us go eat salads!
These pictures are like simplistic hieroglyphs, it is much simpler than the full sentences.

[ He strategically doesn't mention birthdays. Either Osiris's or Set's. He'll be less likely to agree if he thinks he's being celebrated. ]

[suetekh]

[Oh...he gets it. That makes sense. And it is easier. Although where the hell are the pictures?]

show

[He is not telling him yes to hanging out but he is telling him to show him how to make these nifty little pictures so maybe it's a victory in its own way?]

[hor]

At lunch 💕

[suetekh]

[He wants to learn the way of the text pictures...]

ok

backdated a couple of weeks probs but keep it timey-wimey

[inevitablerest]

Could I trouble you for some of your time, my friend?

[suetekh]

ok

[He absolutely sucks at texting but the brevity here does not mean he's not interested in being there for his friend.]

[inevitablerest]

[Thanatos does at least understand that Set's brevity doesn't mean he isn't interested.]

Thank you.

Zagreus has returned to the House and I don't believe I can face my brother's attempts at sympathy over the matter just yet.

[suetekh]

[Oh. Set had only ever talked to Zagreus once but he did know how important he was to Thanatos. Set has nothing to compare it to but he just imagines that Thanatos might feel...lonely? When he'd first been without Osiris, that was how he had felt.]

what do you want

[Set has no idea how this comes off but he is never worried about his tone with Thanatos. The other god understands him.]

[inevitablerest]

[He does understand, and while others might take offence or think that Set didn't care, Thanatos knows very well that just the question itself means that the other god does care.

He's just not always the best at expressing himself.]

Just your company. Nothing more than that.

[suetekh]

ok

do i come over

[The only reason he asks is that Thanatos' dwelling is much nicer. Set still lives in the inn because he has no idea how to get his own place. Although Set has no preference about where they spend time together, he thinks that Thanatos might care. After all, he is the one missing someone he cares about.]

Right before the Wolf's Moon stuff?

[angel_of_death]

[A few weeks after he's given Horus his gift, Walter finally gets takes the time to come by the inn. He comes bearing a parcel, moderately large in size, soft in nature, wrapped in brown paper and tied in string. It's a very simple-looking parcel. A very simple-looking parcel that Walter has tucked under his arm as he reaches up to knock at the entry to one Egyptian god of the desert's room.

Knock knock, Set. There's a butler at your door.]

[suetekh]

[Set does not get many visitors. Usually when people knock at his door, it is because they got the wrong room. So he gets up from his seat and goes to the door, ready to open it to say they do have the wrong room when he sees Walter.

And then just assumes:] Horus isn't here. [And shuts the door.

Sorry, Walter.]

[angel_of_death]

[Well that didn't work.

He shifts the parcel, gripping a corner with one hand, ready to throw it inside the first chance he gets, and reaches to knock the door again.]

[suetekh]

[At least this time Set opens the door and doesn't close it right away.]

Do you want to know where he is? I'm not his keeper.

[angel_of_death]

[Figuring he is short on time, Walter ignores every single word Set says in favour of shoving the parcel at him.]

This is for you. If you don't want it, give it to someone else.

[suetekh]

[Set looks surprised, not being able to hide it, as he looks down at the parcel. Though he quickly guesses:]

Is it for a favor? There is no point. I'm not a god here. It isn't as if I can grant you anything.
