"Ah cultural differences…we’ll get used to it eventually." Caligo thought for a moment "any chance on having extra pillows for our room?"

"Um, no i think we’ll be fine for now thanks you" Caligo picked Aestus back up, who chirped in agreement, waiting to see where their room is.

Cal nodded and followed their host, Aestus secured in his arm…purring softly?

"He’s more of a bird-moth, not sure where the purring come from…the insect side maybe?" Caligo say a little confused as well
"Thanks you" he said before entering, taking a look around, he put Aestus down so he could as well.

"I like it! Plus we can just make our own decoration if we want so don’t worry" as Caligo said that, Aestus had gotten onto the bed, and decided to created a few more pillows, they seem to glow slightly from the magic, if touched, they would feel warm.
"Aw thanks sunny. See? Nothing to worry about!"

Caligo was a bit surprised she could so easily tell what sort of magic Aestus used "it’s ok! Eat well! We’ll probably only nap and redecorate a bit."

Caligo waited patiently until the footsteps where far away before stripping and getting his braces off before collapsing on the bed
"Uuuuuugh I am never keeping my braces on so long ever again I swear" he say, knowing he will probably forget to take them off  again sometime in the future and regret it all over again. The fact he had them the whole time they were asleep for the journey doesn’t help either, better than knowing someone took them off for him while he was unconscious at least…

Aestus gently rubbed his talons against his shoulder, being careful of his claws, trying his best to get rid of the mark left there despite his current form. "Thanks sunny you’re the best." Was said while a bit muffled by the bed.


(Aestus is very much still smol lmao)

(Oops thought I replied)

Caligo eventually settled properly under the covers with Aestus, it was strange to have Aestus in his arms instead of the other way around, but he can’t say he couldn’t get used to it, especially with how warm and soft he was like this. They are just definitely going to sleep way too much, but oh well. They are far too comfy and warm to care.

Caligo woke up the next day with a face full of feathers, except Aestus was long longer small, did the god always had feathers on his chest? Caligo is certainly not gonna complain. Alas all good thing must come to an end and the other god also woke up.
"What year is this?"the sun asked, still half asleep "I don’t think we ever asked." The moon replied, muffled by very very soft feathers.
They stayed for a moment longer before Aestus remembered where they were and moved to get up, only to pause as his eyes landed on Caligo.

He already his fellow god had white freckles all over, and that his skin had two different colours, scattered in patches all over, but actually seeing it? It was something completely different, he could only describe it as, beautiful.

They stayed like that for a while longer, Caligo either not knowing or not caring that Aestus was staring at him.

"H-Hey were did you get that idea! We’re just- ow- we’re just friends!" Caligo quickly tried to reply, falling off the bed in the process
Aestus is just stunned, blushing and reflecting on what they were doing and if that was something couples do, and if that are them one, and if so, how long have they been? And also, why does it make him happy???

Caligo groans, all his joints hurt and he doesn’t feel like moving, Aestus had to be the one to pick him up and put him back on the bed, along with all his braces
"Can’t you help me?" The moon pleaded "you can do it yourself, I ah e to get ready too you know" Aestus doesn’t feel like he can handle seeing Cal’s body again, considering all the confusing feelings he is having at the moment…he feel a little bad for that but he seem to be able to do it on his own still so it’s probably fine.

Once he had some pants on at the very least, Aestus opened the door "we’ll come down in a few minutes" Caligo can be seen behind him fighting to get his shirt on "once Cal figure out how shirts work" he was only half joking, he then closed the door to finish getting dressed

"Wait, there is three moon here?" Aestus said, only processing what Eli say after closing the door, his thoughts were interrupted by Caligo tripping over the bed "is that why you are such an handful lately?" Caligo replied by sticking his thoughts out…after he managed to free himself from his own shirt prison.

It’s a good 15 minutes later that they both emerged from the room, fully dressed now at least, before going to the bar to join Eli.

"So-ow" Aestus hit his head on the ceiling, having misjudged how low it was, "sorry, getting Cal dressed is always a struggle" the grid finally said, rubbing his head where he hit it. Caligo walked past Aestus "you try getting dresssed while your body is fighting you!" He paused seeing Agni "who this?" He asked Eli, unable to remember who this might be or why he seemed familiar

"Hello. Forgive him he is very empty headed" Aestus says while gently tapping Caligo on the head with the back of his hand
"How you been!" Caligo excitedly asked, finally remembering who Azure was

Caligo gasped "they are your family?! Oh! Aw man…you missed Aestus being a fluffy ball!" Aestus’s face turned gold "I wasn’t a ball…or that fluffy!" Caligo clearly disagreed with that"Nah huh, you were like, 90 percent floof, it was so cute" Aestus looked like he wanted to fly into the sun and never come back down "can we not talk about this please?" Aestus pleaded, Caligo thankfully, changed the subject "oh yeah! Are you coming with us to see Praxis?" He asked Agni.
