Afterparty Buffet
[So, that trial sure happened, didn't it? And on nearly empty stomachs, no less. That's why people might catch Alastor headed for the kitchen as soon as they're out of the theater, obviously intent on making food. He's in there a while, actually, and the hallway outside of it smells strongly of some rather tasty food.
What he's up to will become clear when he goes around to tell people to visit the mess hall. There, he's set up a varied buffet on one of the tables, all of various foods easy to serve in small portions. This includes small slices of beef only very lightly seared on the outside, but also more fully cooked fare, and even a few fruit and vegetable dishes. Plus the requisite spread of alcohol, because it sure has been A Day, huh?
...Also, while Hermes obviously doesn't eat, he still gets the instructions to go to the mess hall. Huh.]

That sounds to me like you're going to have a good sleep tonight, then. I'll be there to ensure that, of course.

[ Once more, this was just how he was and he didn't plan to change. ]

[He puts a now bare hand on Roland's cheek and gives him a gentle, affectionate kiss on the lips.]
I'm sure having you up against me will make my nights more comfortable even when I'm awake.
no subject
Absolutely.
[ There's nothing but warmth here in his voice, and shining in his eyes. ]
Best make sure to get settled in before I sleep, and you should be fine. I tend to not let go easy, as you may have noticed.

[He laughs and musses Roland's hair.]
At least neither of us will have to worry about needing someone to confirm where we were in the middle of the night. I don't think either of us could get up without waking the other.

You have quite a point! That is very true!
[ This floaty feeling of being in love? He enjoys it so, SO much. Sometimes he worries he might come off as overbearing, but trusts if Alastor needs his space that he'll simply tell him as much. ]
Mm... and by the way, Alastor? Don't think me loving you is going to make me go any easier on you during our sparring matches. Though I suspect you won't mind that.

[ A nod of his head, not even wasting any time in doing so. ]
You're quite good at that. It's never been boring, sparring with you. Though I suppose one of my tricks is out of the bag now, isn't it?
[ In reference to the end of the trial, where Alastor may or may not have seen him split Durandal into two 'swords'. ]

[ There's a small, knowing smile as he made to take another couple bites of dinner. Yeah, he's tired too after everything. Though it doesn't stop him from shifting just enough to lean in close to Alastor's ear, to add in something only he will hear. ]
If you win the next sparring match? You can have me as the reward.
[ Just as if nothing happened at all, he's content to even take a drink from his glass now. Seeming VERY pleased with himself. Nobody said he 'couldn't' flirt, after all. ]
no subject
As if you could resist either way. But if you win, I'll be sure to teach you something new.
[And then he's back to his own dinner, cheerfully devouring another slice of bleeding meat.]
