[ Tezcatlipoca laughs, since that amount of surprise on its own is already pretty funny. He hasn’t even gotten to his grand reveal, which makes him think she’s going to flip. Like he said. Love it or hate it, and he truly doesn’t know where she’ll fall on that scale. ]
I come be your roomie down there.
[ He’s purposefully casual, since on one hand, he thinks she’ll overreact to it... But on the other, after giving just a little pause for her being flabbergasted, he clarifies: ]
Well, only part of me, of course, but that’s no big. Dividing my soul up into parts is more straightforward than you’d think. [ This is not what she’s going to be concerned about, and he knows it… ] I can give you that part of me. That Authority. Tossing a foreign god’s power into the mix will really throw the rules that you can't break for a loop.
[ It seems like he’s being far too casual and flippant for offering something so significant, but that’s Tezcatlipoca for you. He shies away from sincerity, but he’s still a god of his word, even if it’s something as impossible as bringing flowers to a barren Underworld. ]
[ Divide his soul up and become her roomie...? That's unusual. She wonders if he'd get along with Dumuzid. Not that the sheep is there often, sometimes she forgets he's supposed to spend six months a year down there. ]
[ There are a few moments as he wears his usual sly, smug smile as she parses through this revelation. It’s not only the flowers that he’s offering, after all, but some companionship. Admittedly, he’s not sure what form that companionship might take, since he’ll have to be truly subject to Kur’s rules to figure it out, but still. He’s confident that it would work in some respect. So, he’d expected this to be a big deal that prompted a big reaction.
…He’s still surprised in the end, though. As she collapses, he stares for a moment, dumbfounded. Is that a good reaction or a bad one??? ]
Uh?
[ uh. . .]
[ Okay, no. It’s fine. He catches up with this absurd reaction after a moment. He crouches next to her and brushes some of the hair out of her face to just see if she’s, you know. Conscious. ]
[ Slowly she opens her eyes. Swirly, unfocused eyes that are staring absently into nothing. ]
H-Huh...? I didn't know you had authority over small colorful birds, Tezcoo...
[ What birds? The ones flying around her head right now, of course. There are quite a few shiny stars too. So many pretty things she's seeing! Wow, it's nearly like her perception of reality has been thrown off and her brain is scrambling to get back online.
... She may need a minute before she's able to talk normally again. In all fairness, her happiness quota for the day has been exceeded in ways it never has been before. ]
[ As much as Tezcatlipoca likes the modern world and keeping up with it, Looney Tunes logic is not included. He's all about action movies, duh!!
...Anyways. He huffs, then shakes his head. At least this is in private so there won't be any weird misconceptions happening here. Since she's seemingly fine, just dazed, he withdraws his hand, but not before giving her hair a little ruffle for good measure. Maybe she'll get offended and snap out of it. Who knows. ]
Look. I don't got much floorspace here. If you're gonna take a nap, at least do it on the bed and out of my way.
[ Does that mean he would have said "Yippee Ki‐Yay, motherfucker" to Marisbury had he been the one to successfully revive ORT? The world will never know.
Regardless, she's come to like headpats, and she's not in her right mind, so alas she doesn't have the reflex to be embarrassed. He's right though, she ought not to sleep on his floor. ]
R-Right...
[ She should get up and go to... ... ... ... ... ]
Y-Your bed? [She immediately sits up, like if a resort had suddenly propped her up, and flood the poor god with a rain of accusations.] Villain! Pervert!! Scoundrel!!!
[ He admits it! How truly terribly shameless. And now he's trying to turn that on her, after he's the one who offered to come live with her in the Underworld. How else is she supposed to take all of this? ]
W-Well if you do this, don't think it'll be a vacation. Slackers are not allowed in my Underworld.
[ If he thinks sitting by a campfire and having a small chat with a soul every now and then will do it, think again! That said, she's looking more and more nervous by the second. This goddess may just explode at this rate. ]
Furthermore, you are skipping too many steps! [Ereshkigal reads passages from a book titled "Romance For The Inexperienced." Where does that book come from, how did it land in her hands? Well it was in her pockets, obviously. Why did she have such a book with her coming to see him? Don't worry about it.] Secret bouquet sent, first approach, second secret bouquet sent, first date, walk in a park, flower shop touring, handholding... A-And that's only the beginning! T-There's too many steps to list you've skipped before cohabiting!
[ Her panicking is getting to extreme levels. She's not even realizing what she just said and she'll panic more once she does. What a vicious cycle! ]
