Hypnos, yes... I think I will ask if he'd like to stay with me here.

[Thanatos is sure that his twin will jump eagerly at the chance to spend more time with him. Their relationship had not always been harmonious but while they had been here in this place... it had improved massively. He hasn't felt as close to his brother in almost as long as he can remember.]

And you are still always welcome here, as you know.

It is.

[Set's reactions to his own sometimes clumsy overtures of friendship have always been a source of curiosity for Thanatos. His fondness of the other god is nothing but sincere and even though Thanatos is not always entirely open and honest about his feelings he tries to be so with Set if only because it makes things easier for the both of them.

Set, he thinks, would struggle with Death Incarnate's tendency to avoid emotional honesty.

He smiles faintly, reaching out to lightly grip Set's arm.

I enjoy your company. Welcoming you feels only natural. [And isn't Thanatos himself so, so aware of how it feels to be unwelcome?] It can't still be so surprising to you.

You're selling yourself short if you believe you have nothing to offer.

[Thanatos is always blunt in his words. It's something that most find off-putting about him but he knows it's something that Set values. He can be plain-spoken with the other god and not be concerned about him taking offence - in fact, he might be more offended if Thanatos tried to be any other way with him.

But the idea that he brings nothing in his company is not one with Thanatos can mutely agree with. He shakes his head slightly.

Do you think that because you can't offer power or influence to me that you offer me nothing? I don't need your favour, Set. Your friendship alone is of enough value.

[Thanatos is not and has never been someone to finds talking about his feelings to be an easy thing, most of the time. It takes somebody sliding into a certain level of comfort with him for him to be more open, and he was able to feel that way with Set fairly early on in their acquaintance thanks to so many similarities between their personalities.

Hearing Set talk that way about himself doesn't come as a surprise, even if he is completely missing the point that Thanatos is trying to make.

He doesn't need Set to be anything more than he is.

I find you to be fine company. There is a reason I invited you here and not my brother. [Thanatos places his hand on Set's arm and smiles slightly.] I don't need you to be anything more than yourself. That is more than enough.

wanna wrap this up?

[Thanatos chuckles softly, and he finds himself infinitely glad that it was Set he invited here and not someone else. He squeezes his hand lightly around the other god's upper arm and smiles faintly.]

It would be my pleasure.

[And that is no small thing to say, given how solitary he has been for the majority of his life.]

Though I think only time will tell whether or not I can convince you of your own worth.
