Hythlodaeus gives him another smug smile that fades to fond and affectionate in the blink of an eye.
"I know. I know you dislike overly sweet things, but the baker here tends to go for more natural flavours. I like that the strawberry adds a hint of tartness - 'tis sometimes too boring to have a mixture of things that are too similar."
The slight hesitation before Hades returns the gesture does not escape Hythlodaeus, either, and he gives himself a mark for besting his friend once again. He leans forward to accept the chocolate, a content smile on his face, but he takes the treat into his mouth slowly, closing his eyes before drawing back and fixing Hades with a mischievous look as he lets the chocolate melt on his tongue. He offers no further comment, simply keeping eye contact.
