The next morning, Joseph's room...
Aesop: *wakes up in Joseph's bed, his head in pain*
Aesop: Shouldn't have drank that much...
Aesop: *looks over at Joseph, who's still asleep, then crawls out of the bed and waddles to Hastur's room*
Aesop: Eliiii. You in there?
Eli: *opens the door, looking fresh*
Eli: Good morning! Do you need something?
Aesop: First... Please stop shouting...
Eli: Headache?
Aesop: A huge one...
Eli: You should have listened to Demi and drink some water... Come in, I'll get you a glass while you rest...
Eli: *opens the door wider, allowing Aesop in*
Eli: Welcome to the holiest place in this whole manor.
Aesop: Wow. It really does feel holy... Everything in here is so white and bright... Even Hastur looks holy...
Hastur: *just came out of the shower, so he's pretty bare, except for a towel wrapped around his waist*
Hastur: AHHHH!
Aesop: *quickly covers his ears*
Eli: Hastur, calm down! He's just here for now!
Hastur: The fact that he's in here at all is not okay!
Eli: He wasn't feeling well!
Hastur: Just get him out as soon as possible! Plus, he hasn't been purified!
Eli: Aesop hasn't sinned! That much...
Hastur: I'll go get the-
Eli: No, Hastur! You'll let Aesop stay for a while until I come back!
Hastur: Why?!
Eli: Just do it... For me~?
Hastur: Fine... Only because it's you...
Eli: Thank you~ I'll be right back.
Eli: *zips away*
Hastur: Why are you here?
Aesop: *lets go of his ears, to hold his head*
Aesop: I just wanted to talk to Eli for a bit, but now he's going full mum mode on me...
Hastur: That doesn't explain why you're IN here. You could have waited outside.
Aesop: I thought you would know this by now, but Eli is a huge softie and cares way too much. Did you think he was going to let me stay out there? I didn't wish to barge in and-
Hastur: Whatever. Just lay down on my bed...
Aesop: Ah- No- It's just a small headache... After a while, it will wear off, so I don't need to lie down...
