[Husk's ear slides back under the weight of Flins' finger, before pinging back upright. ]

I don't recall telling you that you were right.

[Husk lets Flins put the money into his hand, staring down at it numbly. He might not have still fully processed that this was his. He's never had this much money in his life before. His old one, sure - when he ruled over Hell's gambling circuit, he had money plenty (until he very swiftly didn't). But this life? He was someone born to immigrant parents who were barely clinging on to the breadline, and then he spent the rest of his days in servitude to the Order. Having a vast amount of funds was not something that was ever on the docket.

Besides, even if he did have it, he would have just drunk or gambled it away. Always chasing those highs. The first one isn't a problem anymore... or so he hopes. The second... just maybe might still be. He feels the warmth of Flins' hand, and even more the warmth of his words. Husk doesn't like himself much. He's never seem him as someone worth much of anything. A fact that's permeated two lives. He blinks as Flins puts the little kiss on his forehead, still staring at the money like it's a puzzle he's supposed to solve. ]

Oh.

[ Great start. Fantastic start. He ruffles his feathers a little, displacement activity because he's not sure what to do next. ]

I don't... completely believe that I deserve this, but I know better than to try to argue with you. You're more stubborn than I am. I-

[ An ear pins back, he lefts out a grumbly little sigh. ]

Can you hold onto it for a bit? Til I figure out what to do with it. I don't wanna end up throwing it all away at the casino. [Maybe he can do something nice for the kids. Hm.He finally focuses on Flins again, managing a confused smile. ]

Thank you, Kyryll. I still think you're bugfuck nuts for this, and I want that on record. But still... thanks.

[lanternae]

I took the liberty of saying it for you.

[That is absolutely not how this works, but alas, who is to argue with a fae who's set his mind on something. He is nothing if not patient, though, waiting for Husk to settle into the idea that he now has money that he is free to use for whatever he'd like. Or not, he certainly wouldn't blame the man for wanting to be frugal even after coming into a lot of money.

His smile doesn't fade as he watches the cat, fingers trailing off that stack of money he'd put into Husk's own palm.]

Of course. There is no safer place than with me. And Husk, do not treat it as if you have to find a use for it. You do not micromanage the money in your wallet, yet? This is just an extension of it.

It is here for whatever you need. Just as I am.

[ He can't help the chuckle that rumbles out of him. ]

Oh? Is that what you're calling it?

[ Husk's real worry is just gambling it all away. He's making great strides in wrangling the alcohol issues, but the gambling is a whole different story. That's something so deeply ingrained in him, it became part of his demonic appearance and abilities. The temptation to bet it all is strong. He'd rather it be somewhere out of his way - lessen that desire as much as he can. ]

I'm more worried about pissing it all down the toilet, honestly. I'd rather have a use for it than that. I know for a fact that will only make me feel miserable afterwards.

[ He's well aware of his own vices, and that the highs they give him are extremely fleeting and only end with him feeling even worse after. Best to mitigate that as much as he can. His expression softens at the offer, though.

Well, if anything deserves a proper kiss, it was that. He reaches out to press a hand against Flin's cheek, before leaning up to press a kiss against his lips. ]

Well, I always know that part at least - still, appreciate that, too.
