"I have always acted in counterbalance to you," Hythlodaeus replies with a self-satisfied smirk... the reason for which quickly becomes obvious as he slides his hand further down, caressing Hades's thigh but still completely denying him any direct stimulation. "Besides... I know not what you've learnt in that city, but I believe in the art of lovemaking. Particularly on such a notable occasion as this."

With that, he leans in again to nip at Hades's neck once more, intent on leaving another mark, winds an arm around his friend's back to pull him closer, skin to skin.
