[remember those dandelion seeds, though? thanks to them, the moment they touch hyth gets to see a memory of an encounter in elpis]

...What was that?

[He won't drop the flowers but it's a near thing, blinking at nothing as the memory settles in his mind. He's never seen the warrior of light as they appear in canon because of... certain reasons of his AU (the reason is he keeps kidnapping Azem's soul, yandere is the reason) but who can mistake that person, even through Elidibus's eyes?]

....Was--that was your memory was it? But in Elpis...

[ah fuck so he did see it. ah fuck ah shit that's so embarrassing]

Indeed. It was in Elpis.

But that was... Azem's shard?

And you acting quite coy.

Yes. It seems they retained the ability to travel in time after I sent them back initially. They ended up helping my past self with my investigation into Pandaemonium.

[hhhhh he doesn't want to talk about this]

[BUT! YOU WERE SO CUTE]

You seemed instantly fond of them.

...They do bear a great resemblance to Azem, after all. I had no way of knowing they would be my enemy in the future.

They became your enemy? ...Well it would be impossible to foresee such a thing at that point in time.

And they were happy enough to play along and help me and Lahabrea, even though they knew full well how things would end.

[Oh.]

Do you feel betrayed?

No. After all, I had forgotten them completely by the time we met again. There was no betrayal.

But now that I have recovered my memories, it is... confusing.

Because... You are fond of an enemy?

...In essence, yes.

In my world Azem never became an enemy I'm aware of... I don't know how I would be able to handle it. But I don't think I could ever hate them.

It sounds very conflicting.

A shard is not the same person as the original.

[LETS NOT GO DOWN THAT ROAD skirting right around that.]

You were fond of them though, whoever you saw them as.

...

Yes. I was very fond of them, once.

It sounds... Complicated.

Still I think seeing that meeting--I got to see a cute side of you.

I am glad you can see it as cute.

[and not horribly cringe]

[Everyone else at Themis's college photos: look how cute and baby he is!!
Themis: Oh god my cringe days

Hythlodaeus laughs.]

How could I not? Your attempts at subterfuge and deception were so innocent and well intentioned, yet your excitement so plain.

I have never had much skill for concealing my identity. Of that I am well aware.

At that time, I thought I had everyone fooled, but they were just humouring me.

You're hard not to wish to humor you know!

[wow no you can't just say that you're making him blush]

...In my youth, maybe.

Your youth had it's charms but the mature Elidibus is the one I like best. I'd humor you in anything.

...Your tastes are questionable at best.

[He plucks a flower from the bouquet he's holding and tucks it into Elidibus's hair. Hopefully that doesn't trigger more memories but oh well if it does!]

My tastes are flawless. At the very least, liking you has to be counted as good taste.

[this time there's no memoryshare, whew. a bit of fortune for elidibus for once]

...Ridiculous.

[A shame, younger Themis was really cute too.]

I mean it you know. Diligent, thoughtful, kind, hard working, but with a sense of humor hidden under there. Supremely talented from a young age, yet humble enough to always listen to others. With a heart big enough to power a god. Really literally. Basically you're just the type to bring home to meet the family, if anyone was lucky enough to catch you.

[there might still be some dandelion seeds left, not to worry]

...Do you intend to slay me with flattery, Emet-Selch?

Fufu, is it flattery if it's all true, Elidibus?

It absolutely is.
