Janus was jerked awake by what felt like a tugging in his stomach, the only warning he got before he was summoned into the living room of his creator's house, his blanket still draped over his shoulders as he was put into Patton's usual spot in front of the blinds. Janus blinked owlishly, his foggy brain trying to catch up to the sudden change in surroundings.
Thomas stood in his usual spot, facing away from the snake, towards Logan. Logan seemed to notice him, giving him a passive nod before returning to his conversation with Thomas.
"Thomas, you are concerned about lying, yes?" Upon receiving a confused nod from said person, Logan made a gesture towards Janus.
"Perhaps you should ask Janus about it then, as that is his domain."
Thomas nodded again, turning his head to look towards the snake, who gripped at his blanket, still confused upon the exact reason he was summoned. Thomas seemed somewhere between upset and worried, his eyebrows scrunched slightly, and his mouth set in a small frown. Logan had sunk out, having decided he was no longer needed.
Thomas looked at Janus for a moment, before speaking. "Do you know why I've been lying more?"
Upon hearing the question, Janus shook his head, a lie easily slipping off his tongue. "No, I don't. Now, may I please go back to my nap? I was warm for once." Janus's voice had a slight hiss as he glared lightly at Thomas, making himself seem simultaneously aggravated, and exhausted.
Thomas nods after a second, stepping back slightly upon hearing the hiss, almost as if not expecting it. Janus goes to sink out, disappearing back to Virgil's room, trying to ignore his quickened heartbeat from the worry in his chest.
