There is indeed a degree of intimacy to this that goes beyond the usual; not that their relationship wants for affection and openness, but this... this stirs something in Hythlodaeus, a feeling he doesn't quite have a name for. Possessiveness, perhaps, but without the stifling selfishness that normally accompanies the word. It's the knowledge that Hades belongs to him, much as Hythlodaeus himself belongs to Hades; the feeling that there is nothing else in his world but his lover. His lips part slightly as Hades poses the question, so breathless and vulnerable.

You. I want all of you.

But though that's perhaps the most accurate expression of how Hythlodaeus feels, saying it now, when asked for a command to give... it feels a little juvenile. He takes a deeper breath, steadying himself, keeping his voice confident and a little teasing as he replies.

"I want... for you to be as open as you can be. So that there is naught you could conceal from me."

Hythlodaeus smiles, trailing a finger down the side of Hades's neck, though his own heart is beating madly with excitement.

"Bare yourself."
