As much as Emile wanted to fight him, he wouldn’t as long as Simon was in the room. He knew the only option he had left right now was to stand his ground, which is exactly what he did.

Astral continued forward, finally standing in front of the being in the room. He set his hand heavily on his shoulder, not wanting a fight.
"None of this is helping Simon at the moment. I would suggest getting back to him."

He stared right back at the god. Emile didn’t seem afraid of Astral even in the slightest. But he’d comply, for now. “Fine. But I’m telling you now, this is a bad idea.”

"It might be," Astral admitted. "But that's not going to stop me."

He rolled his eyes. Emile honestly didn’t even have any words left. This guy just wouldn’t listen. He felt sorry for Simon, the poor kid was stuck with this idiot of a god for probably the rest of time.

Simon was for sure stuck with Astral for the rest of time, and the outlook for him becoming any less stupid wasn't too good at this point. At least he somewhat seemed to care for Simon, though, if not in the best ways. The god took a step back, taking his hand from Emile's shoulder.

Emile gently sat back down at Simon’s side. He knew this would all go so terribly wrong so fast. But there was nothing he could do about it, so he’d do his best to help for now. He began his soft humming again, his hand gently rubbing Simon’s back.

Astral moved back towards the door, but he didn't leave. He didn't need Emile trying to leave, after all, and he doubted the being wouldn't try to once the god was gone. He had no trust for them.

Emile wasn’t intending on trying, knowing the god would stop him. He stayed at Simon’s side, humming the simple melody.

Astral leaned against the wall, arms folded as he listened quietly to Emile's humming. Hopefully, he would be able to take care of Simon for quite some time to come…

Emile was already plotting, planning how to contact Alec and how to escape.

Astral didn't doubt the being was trying to find a way to escape- he'd be in for a nasty surprise when it was time for both of them to leave the room. Thankfully Simon didn't go in the living room by Astral's room anymore.

((Oof I’m afraid))

“Hey Astral?” He called out, being quiet enough so he wouldn’t wake Simon. “Where do you want me to go when he wakes up in the morning?”

(Yeahhh, that thing Astral seems to do to every single soul that comes into his palace is totally gonna happen to Emile, sorry :( )

"You'll come with me," Astral said calmly. Always quiet, for Simon's sake. "To the living room."

((It’s okay he’s a strong boi he’ll make it))

He nodded. “Got it.” He said softly. He didn’t like this, but he wouldn’t cause problems for now.”

(Yeayyy)

"Good." Astral wasn't just going to let this being run around willy-nilly in his home. He'd keep them under lock and key when there was nothing they could do for Simon.

((He suffered through damnation for at least a century because he may or may not have murdered 2/3 of his town when he was alive))

Emile returned his full attention to Simon. He just hoped Simon wouldn’t find out, it’d upset him greatly, especially if Alec couldn’t control himself and showed up as well.

(D: WHAT)

Astral watched as Emile turned back to Simon, falling silent himself. He had no idea there was another party involved, and he would make sure this being was never near Simon during the day, and in a form Simon wouldn't be able to recognize anyway.

((Yeah Alec convinced him to do it and then felt bad after leaving him to damnation lol))

Emile promised himself he wouldn’t slip up and accidentally tell Astral about Alec. It really wouldn’t end up well if Astral went after the others.

(D:< Alec how dare-)

No, it wouldn't. Not at all. So, the god kept watch over Emile and Simon as the night continued, never moving from his place by the door.

((I can’t believe I forgot to mention that to you before lol))

Emile didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, staying in his place the whole night, not saying anything else to Astral.

(aha lol)

Astral didn't say anything else either, not until morning began to approach.
"It's nearly sunrise," the god noted, pushing off the wall. "We'd best be leaving."

Emile nodded, planting a gentle kiss to the top of Simon’s head before standing up, going over to Astral’s side.

Astral watched Emile kiss Simon's head, setting his hand on the being's shoulder to keep him from trying to run as he opened the door to leave.

Emile didn’t try to run, choosing to do what he was told until he figured out what was in store for him. At the very least, he knew his actions wouldn’t result in Simon being hurt. He could see, in Astral’s very twisted view, that the god loved Simon.
