I sort of figured that it was only a matter of time before all of that was well known… Considering this place. And it’s not my fault that he literally enjoys the public humiliation. If I know him well, and I do, he’s surely marinating in it right now.
[ He crosses his arms and sighs, chuckling to himself about the shenanigans. ]
He should be thanking me. Think of all of the wonderful encounters he’ll collect from that alone!
Not only that, but you're letting him indulge his annoyance kink, on top of it - haha, just look at his responses, he's livid! By the time you get home, he'll be dragging you right to bed.
Oh, he really is! It is true, I’m sure this will end in some sort of bedroom demonstration of the listed items. I’ll just give him a couple hours to stew and simmer down.
[A few hours Hythlodaeus says, get them out of here Zidane says, but the sudden creak of wood then the far more sudden sound of it breaking as a giant claw arm burst through to grab Hythlodaeus would suggest otherwise. The grip is tight, perhaps almost too tight, but that doesn't matter. Hythlodaeus is given the courtesy of looking at Zidane for a mere half moment before he's pulled through the wreckage and made to face the four glowing eyes of Hades as he stares him down fully transformed.
He does not usually transform unless it is exceedingly necessarily. However, Hythlodaeus has made this quite the exception. Despite being nearly 30 feet tall, his voice is as nasally as ever when he speaks, but boy does his voice ring out.]
Did you truly believe I would not find you on Zidane's pitiful toy boat? First you humiliate me, then you insult me?! Not that it matters, you will not be getting away.
[Sorry Zidane, but he is not in the mood to acknowledge anyone but Hythlodaeus at the moment.]
[ Shrinking down suddenly feels like it was a mistake. He had never been in him claw with this sort of white hot anger bearing down on him before. Silly him, he thought maybe he could get away with a little more considering everything. But it wasn’t like Emet-Selch would ever really hurt him! Right! Right!?]
[Hythlodaeus’ air expends much more quickly with the squeezing, giving him a wheezy quality to his voice. ]
Good afternoon, Hades… My dearest love.
[He’s about to offer more buttering, but he’s gotta take another big breath.]
[With the wave of his more human looking arm, Hythlodaeus will find himself unable to speak. Not because of a lack of breath, but because he's been silenced. Looking to Zidane's airship and the damage he's done to it, he cannot give even the slightest bit of a shit. Not when he's this incensed by what Hythlodaeus has done. Choosing not to give Zidane the chance to follow them, teleportation magic roils around them, a dark portal absorbing them both in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
[Zidane, meanwhile, has absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Emet would never truly hurt Hythlodaeus. The same can't be said of Emet's willingness to smash open Zidane's airship, but it's hard to be too upset about it when he gets to watch Emet throw the biggest, most self-indulgent temper tantrum since...
...well, since Kuja destroyed a planet.
Did Emet really have to insult his ship again, though? Come on, Zidane thought they were past that!
He crouches at the edge of the brand new, enormous hole in the deck, watching the landscape go by below with a sigh.]
Y'know, Melody? It's actually pretty comforting, seeing such powerful, ancient beings acting like a couple of little kids bickering on the playground. Maybe immortality won't be so bad, after all.

--oh, shit. Uh, hey, Melody?
[The little canary chirps, fluttering up out of the device.]
Get us outta here. Fast.
