Lisbon, Portugal, [All Day Sunday]

After getting checked in to the hotel and settled in the room with its view of the Tagus river, Watts and Steven were ready to start their adventure with a visit to the Oceanário de Lisboa. Following that, Watts had deliberately left the itinerary open. Perhaps they'd explore the city and head for dinner and a performance of fado music... orrrrr they might just head back to the hotel and order room service. Who knew!

Steven was making sure to take loads of pictures. Both because he'd promised Liz he would and because he wanted them for his own memories. "Bit bigger than back at the museum, isn't it? Have to have a banquet, if we were having a lunch to fit in here."

It was possible some of the photos Steven took were of Llewellyn lost in thought as he studied the exhibits. Those were for Steven's own personal collection though. "Thought it might be. I like it. Don't let me forget to stop by the gift shop when we leave. We'll see if there's something for Liz, to thank her."

Liz had said she only wanted pictures but Steven still wanted to keep an eye out for an extra gift to show his appreciation for her taking care of his fish.

Steven thrilled to see that Llewellyn was comfortable enough to hold hands with him. He tried not to make a fuss about it so that Llewellyn didn't feel self-conscious. "I know we've only just started but are you liking it so far?"

Steven was as delighted by Llewellyn's enjoyment of the displays as he was in the displays themselves. He did manage to look away from Llewellyn and toward the fish eventually. "They are lovely. Wonder if they say the same about us?"

"Maybe one wanted to sneak a kiss in private," Steven suggested. "Must be hard for them to try doing that during the day. All the tourists about."

"Me too." Steven bumped shoulders with Llewellyn. "Plenty of time for it later."

Or earlier if Llewellyn was feeling bold.

"We do have those arrangements in ink," Steven said. Though he wondered if Llewellyn would remember that part of their conversation from the bachelor party.

"Have to keep our strength up, don't we?" Steven said, very deliberately looking innocent. "For tours."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-09 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Like the museums," Steven said, because priorities. "Though wouldn't mind walking about with you as well. Doesn't have to be Lisbon. Anytime this week."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-09 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven smiled up at him to show how much the kiss was welcome. He didn't kiss back, though, not wanting to push Llewellyn more than he was comfortable with. "Outdoors as well. Nowhere in particular. Taking it all in."

"Think if we don't try a fair number of desserts Stark'll refuse to be friends with us after," Steven said. Stark would do no such thing of course but Steven did want to report back on if there were things Stark might like to try.

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-09 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"Joking," Steven reassured him. He gave Llewellyn's hand a squeeze to help. "Though I know he's looking forward to trying things over in France on that trip."

"Well we've Portuguese to try ourselves," Steven said. "We can compare notes with him once we've all gone home."

Strange how "home" meant different things depending on where they were. Normally Steven used it to mean the world they were currently in.

"He and Travis went together," Steven said. "Good step for them, I think."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-09 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven bumped their shoulders again. "It is, isn't it? Hoping you're not tired of me by the end of it."

Not that Steven was worried or anything.

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-09 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It might have been brief but Steven still gave him a kiss back. "Not flattery if it's true, is it? Just you and me and the entire week ahead of us."

Granted the last day was for Annie and Diego's wedding but Steven and Llewellyn were going together so Steven was counting it all the same.

"Selfish, I know, but it's nice to have a little time not to share."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
"You're what I most want to be selfish about," Steven told him. "Suppose that works out, at least. Us having this. And you sharing it with me. Portugal, I mean."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (friendly) (Steven chatting (friendly))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
"You could've wanted to go on your own," Steven pointed out. "Half the fuss, planning for one person, isn't it? And it mattered to you. Sometimes sharing what matters doesn't work out. Took a risk there, letting me in on it."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (friendly) (Steven chatting (friendly))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Steven squeezed back. "Lucky me, being someone you care about. I like seeing you be excited about things. And here we are not having done the wine yet."

Steven was very much looking forward to listening to Llewellyn go on about wine.

"Have to have souvenirs, don't you?" Steven said, since this sounded perfectly reasonable to him. He'd left space in his luggage to bring things back as well. "Had a thought. Don't take this to mean I think you need to, only wondering if you want to. But did you want to look at clothes as well?"
hasaknightjob: Steven having a friendly conversation (Steven chatting (light))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Was thinking jumpers and the like," Steven said. He moved to stand in front of Llewellyn so they could be eye to eye. "Only if you cared to. I like you and your clothes. You're handsome as you are."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
It was Steven so he smiled at the pun, intentional or otherwise. "All right. Only an idea. Nothing I think needs doing."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (Steven chatting (casual))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't lie to each other, do we?" Steven pointed out. He reached up with both hands to smooth Llewellyn's lapels, even if they didn't need it. "I've always liked you and your clothes."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (friendly) (Steven chatting (friendly))

Steven leaned closer so he could join Llewellyn in speaking more softly. "Didn't say you weren't handsome that way as well."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"In ink," Steven agreed. And if they were that close anyway he was going to sneak a quick kiss, fast enough that it might've looked like they only bumped into one another.

Steven took Llewellyn's hand again, giving it a squeeze to show his approval of the joke.

Fortunately the wording on the plague was big enough he didn't need his glasses. "Venomous as well? Hopefully it's not the same for the ones we have at home."

Which to be honest couldn't be ruled out, given the strangeness of Fandom's wildlife.

"Says they come out at night," Steven said, pointing out that part of the description. "Means they're under my protection. Unless they're hurting other innocent fish. Might be a problem then."

Somewhere Konshu was lamenting yet again that he'd ever been forced to meet Steven.

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe they hunt fish being a problem," Steven said. He was fully making things up now for the fun of it, and gave Llewellyn a smile to help make that clear. "Protecting the others that can't protect themselves."
hasaknightjob: Steven having a friendly conversation (Steven chatting (light))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe that's what they gossip about," Steven said. He looked around and pointed at a fish at random. "Like that one there never minds where they're going. Could be run over by an eel, they're not careful."

That was absolutely going to make Steven steal another quick kiss. Llewellyn had no one but himself to blame.
hasaknightjob: Steven kiss (Steven kiss)

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Steven very much enjoyed the enthusiasm, but he wanted to protect Llewellyn. So he pulled back after a moment. "You all right?"

Yes, after a moment. He wanted to protect Llewellyn but Steven was only human after all.
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (Steven chatting (unsure))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Hand in hand and maybe closer than they were when they walked hand in hand a few minutes prior. "Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I like it. But I don't want you doing anything you might regret later. Everything in your own time. It's all right."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
"No matter what happens I'm with you," Steven said. "That's the important bit. There's loads of things we can do together. Some wait until we're in private is all."
hasaknightjob: Steven looking down shyly (Steven shy)

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 04:29 am (UTC)(link)

Again Llewellyn's delight was absolutely charming. "Hopefully they won't mind we're not as dressed up as they are."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"It's good manners, isn't it?" Steven said, by way of agreeing with Llewellyn. "Not making other people feel uncomfortable. Even if they're not dressed right. Polite, those penguins."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (Steven chatting (unsure))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
"I forget that that was still new for you," Steven said. "Things like traveling to the poles. Not that it's easy these days but it's easier to share what they find once they're there. Internet and the like. Penguins don't have it though. No pockets to store their mobiles, you see."

Steven was still enjoying himself with his stories.
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (Steven chatting (casual))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
"You know some penguins aren't fussed about that?" Steven said. "There's stories of two males like getting together and raising a little one on their own."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (Steven chatting (unsure))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Steven gave Llewellyn's hand a comforting squeeze. "Could tell you all sorts of things about what it was like in ancient Egypt. Might not have used the words we do today but doesn't mean it didn't happen."

Of course the odds of Steven sharing these stories or anything else on the topic of ancient Egypt, asked for or not, would increase significantly when they were at the museum.

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh there's loads of things," Steven said. "Gods and humans alike. Which - I guess now that we know the gods are real means some of those stories probably were real. Not symbolic, I mean."
hasaknightjob: Steven chatting (Steven chatting (unsure))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Did I tell you the story about Horus and Set?" Steven asked.

It said a lot about Steven's distrust of his memory that he had to question if he'd told Llewellyn this story, given that once it was learned it did tend to stick out amongst the others.
hasaknightjob: Steven explaining (Steven explaining)

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right," Steven said, immediately warming up to the topic, "one day Osiris's throne is up for someone to take it. We won't get into that bit now, that's its own story. Anyway, two of the other gods want it. Set, Osiris's brother, and Horus, Osiris's son. So they've got to prove which one is worthy, yeah?

"Now in those days two men being together wasn't a problem. Family members doing it among the gods wasn't either. Family tree didn't have many branches there if you follow me. Thing that was the problem was who took a stronger role in the doing it. Especially if you wanted to take over a throne, you see."

Steven looked at Llewellyn to make sure it all made sense so far.
hasaknightjob: Steven explaining (Steven explaining)

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It might not soon enough, given the story.

"Set decides he's going to give himself the advantage," Steven continued, still thrilled at the chance to talk about one of his favorite subjects. "He sneaks into Horus's room at night, has a bit of fun. Thinks to himself well that's done it then. Next time everyone's together I can prove it's me who should take over because - er -"

Amazingly Steven stopped being distracted enough to remember there were children around. "Erm. Well he left proof, didn't he? And where it was left, that'd prove which one of them was stronger, right?"
hasaknightjob: Steven tour guide (Steven tour guide)

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven smiled at the compliment and kept going.

"Now Horus, he says I see what's happening." Steven realized Llewellyn might not get the joke so added, "He's got the head of a hawk. Good vision, yeah? Anyway, he's having none of it. Cleans himself up, chucks all the evidence straight into the Nile.

"Then Horus goes to his mum, Isis, and says what are we going to do about old uncle Set? And Isis, smart lady she is, says what's good for the goose is sauce for the gander, isn't it? Or hawk in this case."

Realizing how that sounded, Steven felt a need to clarify, "Set's not a goose. Noone's rightly sure what he is. Sort of an aardvark giraffe looking thing. Suppose I could ask one of these days."
hasaknightjob: Steven having a friendly conversation (Steven chatting (light))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"I was thinking Taweret, yeah," Steven agreed. "Right, so Horus - erm - gathers his own proof of leadership. You know. So to speak. But he knows Set's not going to fall for the same trick he played, is he? Horus, being clever, waits until the next time Set's having himself a snack. Now Set loves lettuce - which is more proof of the giraffe idea, come to think of it.

"Anyway, loves it. Like Stark and sweet things. Can't get enough. So Horus takes his, er, evidence and puts it on some salad and offers it up to his uncle, nice as you please. 'Here you go, already got the dressing on it for you' and all that. Set loves lettuce so much doesn't even think twice. Eats it all down, would ask for seconds if he was able."
hasaknightjob: Steven having a friendly conversation (Steven chatting (light))

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven had embellished a tiny bit. In truth lettuce in those days was shaped differently and suffice it to say the juice which came out of the leaves was not clear in appearance. Ahem.

"Well the gods gather, right?" Steven said. "And they say we've got to get this sorted. Osiris isn't coming back from the dead any faster than last time. Someone's got to rule, which of you lot is it?

"Set stands up and says well, I've got proof I'm stronger than Horus. And he does magic, right? To make the proof speak up. Course he's thinking it's going to make noise from inside his nephew, right? But because Horus was smart it doesn't. It pipes up from where Horus tossed it in the Nile.

"So the other gods, hearing that, say to Set why are you wasting our time? Anybody can have a - " again Steven adjusted his wording considering their location " - a, er, go in the Nile. We've all done it. No point bragging about it. Sit back down and stop making a fuss.

"Then it's Horus's turn and he says funny thing about what my old uncle here was trying to prove. And he does the same spell. And because Set ate the evidence sure as anything it pipes up from inside him. So the other gods say well there you are then, Horus was the stronger one, he gets the throne, see you all next time when we've got to argue about this again."

Steven finished up and looked back at the display they were in front of. Reminded of why he'd gone off on this particular tangent, he added, "Oh, and that's how Thoth was born. Set having that inside him. Bang, pregnant, out comes Thoth with two dads, just like those penguins."

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2022-10-10 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"But you see how nice it is, yeah?" Steven said. "Nobody bothered that it was two men or them having a child. It was the fighting over the throne they were fussed about. Not helped by how Set was a bit of a twat. Could give Konshu a run for his money there, I imagine."

This sort of behavior was only going to encourage Steven to keep telling stories. Hopefully Llewellyn was prepared for what it was going to be like when Steven had actual Egyptian artifacts in front of him for inspiration.

Or there was a large bathtub available.
