[The sound of sheets rustling is very audible. Hypnos is the epitome of laziness, and is hardly discernible around his yawning. Indeed, he has just woken up.]

Time... I-i... goodness...

There are really... far far t-too... [He yawns and hums.] Too many incensed voices coming from... from this... messagesMarten, they say, M-marten, Marten.... mm.

It's Thursday. And the 6th of May.

Good morning, Hypnos ♥

[voice]

[justfivemore]

Is it really?

[another yawn, and you can hear the smile in his voice]

Good morning, sweetling~...

[voice]

[xworthless_onex]

It is~ How did you sleep [she becomes a little hesitant] papa?

[voice]

[justfivemore]

[EXCUSE HIM FOR THIS VERY LONG PAUSE. but he is there, that much is obvious, because there is lots of shuffling about in bed. and then he sounds not pleased, but flattered, voice low]

Very well, darling... very, very well... Very long apparently.

[ohgoodness he just might die of beamingness... fighting to keep the yawn down.]

How have you been, my child?

[unloved_nymph]

Good Morning, sir!

[voice]

[justfivemore]

Good morning, little flame~

I haven't missed... [slkejl king of yawns strikes again] much of your ever charming life, have I?

[unloved_nymph]

I don't, um, think so sir! Narcissus and I moved in together and Morpheus and I had a fight and Athena and I are friends now and I'll be seventeen on Sunday. But otherwise it's pretty, um, quite.

[voice]

[justfivemore]

[excuse him. WHAT?! it's not like him to mince words, but will try to sound. well meaning... BECAUSEHEIS. sadface.]

Oh? Congratulations, my darling, on new friends and new homes!

... I do hope, however, that you and Morpheus have reconciled your differences, however...

[very audibly perks up]

And we must do something for your birthday, sweetheart!

[backgroundsnark]

Sleep well~?

[voice]

[justfivemore]

[OOLALA CAN YOU HEAR HIM LOUNGING AND ROLLING ABOUT ON HIS COMFORTABLE BED~? not to mention his very audible smirk.]

Most fabulously, darling, most fabulously~

[backgroundsnark]

I'd tell you that sleep is the thing of gods but you, of course, already know that.

[voice]

[justfivemore]

And rest assured that I am the best at what I do~.

[he chuckles, 100% at himself.]

Rest assured... I do love puns, so~...

[hate_and_oaths]

You should tell me how you manage to sleep through everything.

[voice]

[justfivemore]

I really haven't the faintest idea~

[but he sounds so very pleased with himself.]

The only plausible explanation is that I believe perhaps... [... he yawns] mmm... I've lost my train of thought...

[voice]

[hate_and_oaths]

[Serious, yet amused; yep, Styx can pull that tone]

Never mind Hypnos. There will always be sleeping pills, I guess.

[voice]

[justfivemore]

[And she pulls it off so very well~. He will sound slightly concerned, however, and just a hint interested.]

No, no, no, my dear. Those sleeping pills do awful things to the mortal body!

If you should ever need assistance sleeping, please do not hesitate to ask! I would be most delighted to help you sleep naturally, darling!

[sleep_uneasy]

Figures you would sleep through my arrival. Hey, Dad.

[voice]

[justfivemore]

[he sounds honestly excited, if not a little shocked]

Phobetor? Goodness! Hello, son!

[sleep_uneasy]

Looks like the family is all here now. How long have you been asleep for?

[voice]

[justfivemore]

It is and I should not be so contented but I am! First Morpheus, and then your mother and then Phantasos and now you! This is spectacularly fabulous~!

[let him think for a moment, and mull it over audibly]

If it is the sixth of May... oh... the twenty... fifth? Of April?

.... oh, goodness, that is awful long...
