“but of course,  i am fond of anything daring enough to defy me,”  morthelme declares this as if it is obvious.  his fingertips remain greedily pressed against it’s palm,  as if he is seeking the warmth granted by the glove.  then death’s touch withdraws from flesh once more.  it remains unmarked.
            
            “i have nothing to worry about anyhow,”  death sighs,  as if content with this blasphemy.  his fingers entangle with gloved ones this time,  bringing knuckles close to his mouth.  a chaste kiss,  cold even through material.  “gods belong to me,  even before their legacies have begun.  you are no different.”

            [   its fingers are motionless while the cool hands slips closer to its own hand,  a whisper of wind slipping in the gap of its glove.  with his demand,  it huffs,  a gruff sound-  bearing similarities to a laugh.  and despite that,  it stays still,  the creeping of his hand good company.   it finds amusement in the lingering touches.   ]
            
            "⠀⠀stubborn in getting your way.   i didn't think death to be so fond of one who defies it..⠀⠀"

“but of course,  the heart always aches for what it can never have,”  it’s said as almost a conclusion.  as if morthelme finally understands the captain’s resolution.
            
            and there’s a gasp strangled in the depths of death’s throat as the unmortal’s gloved fingers brush over a cheekbone.
            
            “indulge me,”  death whispers.  and could anyone ever disobey it?  his head tips into the pressure,  his own hand lifting to twist digits under the glove so close to his hand.  until death’s flesh press against it’s own,  fingers against it’s palm,  cool  &  pleasant.  but harmless.  morthelme cannot help the delighted grin.  “do you see?”

            [   a vague answer,  to be expected of a fatuus with such high ranking.   even if it wasn't up to "trouble," it wouldn't reveal that to anyone outside of its own ranks.   even then,  it wasn't exactly a brilliant conversationalist.   ]
            
            "⠀⠀i'll assume the same goes for you.⠀⠀"

“of course.  as is your companionship,  i’m sure,”  varka beckons his own soldiers forth.  there’s a hushed frothing of concerned mumblings,  unintelligible to his ears,  but he ignores it.  
            
            “i wasn’t expecting you to come out here,”  varka calls out to the harbinger.  as if attempting conversation.

            [   it waits silently for an answer;  piercing blue,  even if not visible,  staring at the easy smile the leader wore, and remaining still as a stalking scorpion.  it hums,  seemingly pleased with his answer.   ]
            
            "⠀⠀.. very well.   your sensibility is appreciated.⠀⠀"
