"Artemis, are you...drunk?"

𝑴𝑶𝑹𝑩𝑰𝑫 ᶜᵘʳᶤᵒˢᶤᵗʸ . (with @winterfollows !)

"Can you imagine what it would be like to feel the need to yawn... but not have the means to do so?" he mumbles deeply, not yet registering what Haleir has asked. Even quieter, he adds "truly... of all the things hell should take of me...." he trails off a little bitterly, not at all recognizing the humor in the remark. All the while, a splayed hand atop the counter nearest him pushes his weight from it, and he takes a few languid, though careful steps toward the back room-- not thinking to mind whether Hal should follow him or not.

Had he been in his right mind-- which he was not-- he would indeed have offered to hold the door for his guest, or even verbally invited him in as a good host does. A part of him he supposed, simply assumed the offer itself was assumed (or... something.. if it had even been thought of at all), given that the demon continued to talk even once he was in the other room.

The heavy thud of a tome being tossed to the floor can be heard from the other room-- before he rather unceremoniously plops himself into his armchair. Legs splayed, neck bowed just so, half-steepled fingers resting upon his lower belly-- he was surely a sore sight indeed, a far cry from the usual grace in which he normally holds himself. He peers up at his dear friend who-- he was.... ah... when had he gotten here anyway? Blast it all.... He can hardly THINK... The entity lets out an audible groan, a finger and thumb coming to pinch the bridge of his nose. "Of a night of apparent impossibilities..." he finally thinks to respond, ".... It would... certainly appear so, wouldn't it?" hands fall into a open palmed splay, "A spell, it seems. Not of my own... I know the little cretin who did it, too... If only I'd noticed he'd cast it sooner-- I'd not be such a sight right now. I was hoping it would simply run it's course, but it seems..." yellow eyes slowly blink in and out of existence. "... that it's simply getting worse."
