Hex had set himself up in the galley to peel the potatoes for Hannibal, out of the way. He knew how the cook liked it done and was quick and precise.
He took the last root out of the water to remove the skin when Fenris walked in. Hex flashed him a warm smile.
"The water isn't hot enough for tea," he apologized. "You'll have to put it on."

"Also?"

Date: 2023-11-22 03:37 am (UTC)"Ahhh," Hex nodded. "That's because he's jealous. He's the captain's, see. But Bond screws who he wants and don't care it bothers him."
At least that was what Hex had gathered from all the times Q had come to sleep in his bed and cry on his shoulder.

Date: 2023-11-22 04:37 am (UTC)"Oh. Like Fox," he smiled. "Alright. He'll understand that."
The one thing he knew was Bond may be forceful but he didn't stay where he was truly unwelcome.

Date: 2023-11-22 04:58 am (UTC)At the very sound of his name, Hex was overtaken with the most smitten grin and warmth in his eyes.
"Prince Nyx, yeah," he nodded. "Him, too."

"Yeah...I know," he said, looking down.

Date: 2023-11-25 07:50 am (UTC)"It's safer for everyone," he said, knowing that was a lie.
It wasn't safe for him at all. WHen Bond wanted to take Nyx back, Hex, as his Keeper, would need to die. Nyx had been quite clear.
But it was safer for Nyx. Physically, at least.

Date: 2023-11-25 08:40 pm (UTC)"No one can hurt him, yeah?" Hex insisted. "He'll be fine until Bond wants to take him back and then...if he thinks I'm going to die easy, he's mistaken..." he added, the words trailing away until he was barely mumbling.
