[alskdaslkdf help why is that charming]

No, no, baklava. It's a dessert with pistachios, honey and dough.

[enigmaster]

...So why is it named after lava?

[agoodname]

[Enygma oh my god] It's not. That's simply the name of it--it means to layer something. At least, that's what it's called back in Jerusalem. Over here, they call it placenta cake, and they add cheese to it.

[enigmaster]

...Humans have such odd names for things.

[agoodname]

Everything has to be called something.

[enigmaster]

I suppose, though I question if mortals can really remember all those words.

[agoodname]

Well, not all of them, because they change with the different languages, after all.

[enigmaster]

...Ah. Yes. This is a problem for mortals, right? I have an innate understanding of all your languages, at least. What words I need to know, anyway.

[agoodname]

That sounds convenient. But alas, we mortals have been charged with speaking many different tongues, and often only knowing one or two or three different ones. Sometimes more, depending on where you live.

[enigmaster]

That must make communication very inconvenient. How many do you know?

[agoodname]

Hmmm...Well, I know Latin, Greek and Hebrew essentially fluently; I've got a fairly good handle on Arabic as well. So three and a half?

[enigmaster]

Why would you only half learn a language? You may as well finish learning the whole thing.

[agoodname]

Lack of time or need for the finer details of the language. I have other things to spend my time on.

[enigmaster]

Like almost dying?

[agoodname]

How did you know~? [that was definitely flirty lmao]

[enigmaster]

If you just have a death wish, I'm starting to be concerned...

[agoodname]

....a death wish in what sense? A wish to die, no, if that was the case, I would've gone already. But a wish to spend more time with Death~? [he leans into his chest a bit] That, absolutely.

[enigmaster]

I. Um. Well. [W-Well!!!] Less concerning... I suppose...

[agoodname]

I should hope so~ I'd hate to concern you over such a thing. Then I'd get to spend less time with you, I'd think, and that would be such a disappointment.

[enigmaster]

Many would think it's insane, to want to be near Death like this.

[agoodname]

[ok buddy he's just gonna rest his head on your shoulder] Fortunately for both of us, I don't particularly care what anyone else thinks.

[enigmaster]

I don't just mean other mortals, you know. I'm rather certain even other gods would say the same.

[agoodname]

[he can't help but bark out a laugh at that] I care what they think even less. [he squeezes his hand, gently, threading their fingers together] I just care about you.

[enigmaster]

You hardly even know me that well...

[agoodname]

I know plenty. And I'd like to know more.
