Yeah, dude. Lucifer's real, and he's on our side. That's how bad Set is.

[David's utterly thrilled to be able to deliver this news, especially to someone who's just as shocked as he was when he found out, and it shows.]

I haven't met him yet, but I just assume he's probably hot too.

[hisbride]

(( If all these other gods are real... Why not Satan, too? It's still a lot to wrap his brain around. Siwan never believed in any of that stuff. A dry chuckle answers David's comment. ))

I suppose he'd stick out if he wasn't.

[silvernaphil]

[David snorts out a laugh at the remark. Huh - turns out Siwan's pretty cool.]

They've even got me going to the gym now. You think you'll be able to coast on being 6'2" for awhile and then boom, gods everywhere. [With a sidelong glance, David adds:] For the record, just human to human, you got easily the best looking one. Congrats, man.

[hisbride]

(( He certainly thinks Seb... Sobek is the finest among them, yes. Not that the others aren't ridiculously attractive, but not in a way that's more then aesthetically appealing to Siwan. None that inspire in him what Sobek does.

Color rises to his cheeks and, after stealing one fleeting glance at Sobek in the pool, Siwan looks down at his hands. ))

Ah, thank you...

[silvernaphil]

[Oh, that's awfully cute. Either their thing is quite new or something else is quite new for Siwan, which might explain why he keeps lowering his voice. As well as the wedding ring, of course - some couples just open up the relationship if one of them wants to explore, could be the case for him.

David's just gonna make a guess, his own voice still pitched respectfully low and a kind smile on his face.]

First boyfriend?

[hisbride]

(( If only his relationship with his wife were so understanding... ))

It's um... not a public sort of relationship.

[silvernaphil]

You might wanna tell Sobek that... he doesn't really shut up about you.

[And David didn't need to get so gossipy about it in the first place, so he'll add a quiet:] Sorry.

[hisbride]

(( Ah, even feeling shy can't stop the warmth that creeps into his features. ))

He's fine. Our social circles are very different. When we're out together, he's always perfectly appropriate. He took it upon himself to make up some story about being a work colleague if anyone ever asks.

[silvernaphil]

[Ugh, it's so cute he wants to die, but David can't help but be happy for them. A married, closeted rich dude and an outsider god? Their odds of finding each other were not good, and yet.]

Yep, just like that. Same look on his face, too.

[hisbride]

(( Same look? Siwan’s hand lifts to his cheek in surprise. He’s obviously seen the way Seb looks at him, the way he looks when he introduces him to the people he knows. It’s a look that makes him feel like his heart could overflow. And being he told he looks at Seb with the same expression? Maybe it shouldn’t be surprising, but it feels good to hear. ))

He’s very effusive.
