Hythlodaeus does not even try to hide the look of triumph on his face, laughter in his eyes as he watches his friend cough and splutter like that when but a minute ago he looked so dignified and elegant.

"Oh, I would certainly be delighted."

He looks down at his plate, debating where to start. It's not that he has a sweet tooth - his order was a small strawberry-and-cream sponge cake and the two chocolates; one, classic cherry liquer, the other the enigmatic moss one. How funny it would be to feed that one to Hades, if he manages to get his friend off-balance enough...

At the same time, seeing him so flustered was entertaining, and it's the kind of entertainment Hythlodaeus does not want to trade away just yet. He delicately cuts off a little piece of the cake, loading it onto the spoon masterfully, and holds it out to Hades, the look on his face saying that yes, he's perfectly aware of just how cheesy this is, and he's not going to back down.

"Say 'ah'~"

...Despite his earlier thoughts, it's all Hythlodaeus can do to avoid laughing. In truth, he doesn't know which is funnier - teasing his friend, or annoying him... so he tries to go for both.
