Orpheus' sudden lunge was a surprise to Thanatos, since usually it was always the other way around where Thanatos was the one who knocked Orpheus to the ground to lay on. However, once he feels Orpheus' head against his chest, Thanatos just lets himself relax. This was all right, after all it was what he's been wanting ever since he realized that Orpheus was avoiding him for some unknown reason. At Orpheus' coughs and then his one word, Thanatos whimpers... Yes, he was a liar but how was he supposed to explain this?
"Orpheus, I... I'm so sorry. No matter what I do, I fail...
You know that, right? That's why you... You're giving up like this. I can feel it, due to Erebus..."
Damn, he didn't mean for his voice to sound so hollow... It was already too late now, if Thanatos wasn't tearing himself up over this then Erebus sure was. He lifts both hands to his face this time and finds more tears. This hopeless feeling in his chest was like his nightmares slowly coming to life... Very slowly. After all, he wasn't crying blood yet. Yet. He only kept control now because Orpheus was there against him, he had to ... He had to protect Orpheus. If Orpheus wanted the Fall to occur, then that was all right...
