[He can't help but chuckle at that reaction. Oh Husk, you are so unaware of what this fae has in store for you.]

Early? It's actually quite late for someone like me.

Did the lottery stop running? I do believe I owe you four more numbers, and then their order.

[wiseoldbartender]

[ He is so deeply unaware. ]

Yes??? The sun's barely fucking up!! I was sleeping!

I don't think even the end times will stop the lottery. But you know you don't gotta do the extended flirting thing now, right? You got me. If you wanna talk to me, you can just message me. If you wanna see me, you can just ask.

...Preferably not at the asscrack of dawn, but still.

[lanternae]

How wonderful that you get to see the sun rise, then. You're welcome.

[This shit.

This does make him think. Does he add on an extra 100,000 just because he thought it would end due to their hookup? He could...but he'll be a gracious fae.]

Naturally, I can do both of those things. And I will, no doubt.

But we had an agreement, and I promised these numbers would net you a million dollars. You'll indulge me in them for just a little while longer, yes?

[wiseoldbartender]

I didn't say thank you, Asshole. I was happy sleeping.

[ What's this, Flins? Punishment money? How does that even work, you lunatic. ]

You better. We got four decades worth of dates to catch up on, Kyryll.

[Husk reads that last part, huffing out a soft laugh to himself. Typical fae nerdery. ]

Alright, Darlin'. If it's that important to you, you can keep giving me the little numbers for a million dollars. Guess I can indulge in the whimsy if you're so set on it.

[ Idiot still doesn't think he'll actually get a million dollars out of this. Fool.]

[lanternae]

[Fae logic, don't question it.]

Dates? So even Husk Agapov is set on fully courting me. I am quite beside myself.

The fae do keep their promises. Just because what we have has changed has not changed that part.


Rest up. I'll soon be taking my quick nap as well, as my shift is almost over and Casimir is due to take over.

[wiseoldbartender]

[He's learning it really is best to just roll with it. If you think about fae logic too much, you're gonna give yourself a nosebleed.

He chuckles at the comment, even if Flins can't hear it. ]

Sure, Kyryll. I'm gonna court you all proper like. Take you on... what the fuck is that old-timey thing? Promenade? Whatever floats your boat.

Alright, I won't make you break it then, if it's that important to you.

Planning to. Sleep well, I'll see you later, when I come to charge your phone.

Might have something for you, too. Nothing fancy. Just found it at the Goodwill.

[ It's a jigsaw, he doesn't know. ]

[lanternae]

[He smiles at those words on the screen. Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins was always against the wall, merely making an appearance at those parties. And while he's sure Husk means it more as a metaphor, it didn't go unnoticed how...nice it felt.]

Well then, I'd certainly have to dress up for the occasion, then.

[His eyes flick a slightly brighter yellow at the mention of a gift. And from the Goodwill? That nice merchant selling wares at prices that can't be beat?]

A gift for me. I'm touched. I look forward to receiving it when you visit later today. It seems I too must retire. Casimir is telling me to put my phone away and change shifts.

[wiseoldbartender]

[While he might have been being glib, Husk really did mean that he'd do "whatever floated Flins boat". He knows the fae is ancient and probably has a very different concept to courtship than anything that's happened in the last couple centuries. It's fine, Husk is adaptable. He can adapt to this. ]

Yeah? You got some fancier buckles than the ones you already got?

It's not a big deal. It's just a thing I found in the free bin that you might like is all. [ It's not a big deal at all, nope. Not at all. Not thinking about Flins and getting him things he might like. Not at all. ] Better do what Casimir says, then. Rest up. See you later.
