gifts are . . . new to him. sometimes alear gave him knickknacks in the somniel, but rafal knew he did that for all his friends. this was different. it felt special.
he spots alear napping and while his instincts are to play a prank like he used to, he simply brushes some of alear's hair back and presses a kiss to his cheek. ]
[ The kiss makes him twitch before Alear jerks awake, looking sleep-rumpled and out of sorts. It takes him a few extra seconds to reorient himself before he throws his arms around Rafal, kissing him. ]
Happy whatever holiday this is! I was waiting for you...though I don't know how much time had passed. It still looks kind of dark outside.
[ He grins and steps inside Rafal's apartment before grabbing Rafal's hand and tugging him towards his bedroom. ]
It really is. I think your heating works way better than mine. I was almost tempted to put in a fireplace somehow...although, I don't really know how to build one.
I don't have any authority here. No one recognizes the title of the Divine One. If I start ordering people around without paying them, they would just give me unpleasant looks.
[ Besides, it gives him an excuse to come over and crawl into Rafal's bed with him and burrow under his blankets...as well as covertly inhale the scent clinging to them that's purely Rafal. He never thought anything could be so calming and stimulating at the same time. ]

You don't even know what holiday it is?!

[ He doesn't want to relive the less stellar parts of what has now become a core memory. Just the nice kiss and being saved by Rafal... ]
Can we go inside? I'm freezing and wouldn't mind huddling under the blankets for a bit.

You are the Divine One. Use your authority.
[ nevermind that he holds none here. rafal fully believes someone would fall in line. who wouldn't?
