( Castor takes one look at the plates as Pollux sets them down, and he starts moving food around between the two of them. The crab, the pasta—that gets scooped from Pollux's and onto his plate. The clams and the octopus though, he'll scoop one by one off of his plate and on to Pollux's. He doesn't look up from this as he answers for them, sounding unimpressed. )

You're being invited to eat together with a goddess, is that not cause for gratitude?

( Castor didn't invite him so he's not counting himself. )

[nyktifanis]

( she wants to correct one thing. )

You're eating with the Dioscuri, ancient twin gods, and the light of St. Elmo's Fire. That is cause to celebrate, isn't it?

( she allows for castor to switch their food, and while she could say it's fine, she notices the trade off and there's a small smile on her face. she seems pleased with this, absolutely thrilled as the clams click onto her plate along with the octopus, and she couldn't be any happier. she's not picky about what she eats, but there are things she likes more than others, and it's a little embarrassing, but her brother knows her best.

popping clam shells offers a satisfying crack, something she would compare to bones snapping when she strikes a punch to their body— she picks up one, snaps it in half with ease which causes her to giggle softly. )

You're the first we've ever ate with alone, so I cherish this occasion as well.

[ninetoes]

Right, yeah. Yeah, of course.

[He shakes his head. This is still so much and it's been a very long day. Night. Week. Month. Twenty fucking years.]

My apologies. I am honored.

[And it's a relief, actually. That the occasion is so simple and not some hidden business or agenda to action before he's had a chance to sleep. Still wired, still in action mode, still reeling form the night's events. This is nice. Easy, almost. If he weren't suddenly faced with gods.]

I'v never had the pleasure.

[mikraitios]

( Castor lifts his attention from the food once he's gotten Pollux her favourites, meeting Izzy's eyes as he corrects himself. And you know what, Izzy sets it right, so this time it's enough. There's not a lot of anger in his voice, but there is a lot of pride. Expectation, maybe, from what he's saying. )

Hmph. That's right, Human—and now that you have, you will offer us up tribute.

( Please withhold your judgment until Pollux speaks. )

[nyktifanis]

Then how about we do this more often? Humans normally show their gratitude by inviting us to meals with them, so as long as you call, then we can join properly.

( cracking another shell comes easy, and with a fork she makes sure to dig out the insides without making a mess. wearing white, and being offered this... it's a miracle she hasn't made a mess, but gods are always mindful of these instances that she's careful with ever break that she makes. )

That way, we're able to talk about more, it's always wonderful to see you when we can. We're roommates, so we can share more together, hehe.

[ninetoes]

[Mentalmathmeme.gif goes here. He looks from Castor to Pollux and back again. A tribute? Call them to join him officially? They invited him to this.

He-

What do they want?

What do they want!?

Better not fuck this up.

Izzy sets down his fork and moves his plate closer to them.]

Please take anything you'd like. As tribute.

[Is this right? Help?? Do you want him to pray or something??]

And as invitation to join me.

[mikraitios]

( ...

...

...

Snrrk... When his mouth is full so he's trying so hard not to laugh. Izzy's a little confused but he's got the spirit, gotta give him that. )

[nyktifanis]

( oh, izzy... pollux spares a glance to castor at hearing his ... audible attempt at holding back his laughter, and she can't help but kick him in his leg gently since it's infectious.

her grin becomes so wide that she thinks her cheeks might hurt, but she focuses on reaching out to place her hand over izzy's own. he really does have the spirit. )

If we take it, then we're no longer eating together, so please keep your plate.

( she rubs the top of his hand with her palm, two strokes before pausing on the last to keep it settled on top of his. )

And for next time, you can invite us.

[ninetoes]

Right.. right, I. Yeah. Okay. I will.

[He takes his plate back, cheeks burning, and manages to find the will to eat octopus at 4am with gods and call it breakfast. What a night.]
