<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff">"Oh dear boy no I would never cause you to suffer knowingly!" he takes Freddie's hand and kisses the back of it. "Now you simply must forgive me, what must I do to earn your forgiveness hmm? No I simply ran into this young man both literally and figuratively this evening, I am not in the habit of picking up anyone. C'mon you know that!" he scolded. "Wanted you? Hmm. Whatever do you mean by that I wonder? You are without a doubt one of the most desirable men I have ever come across so yes I'd say most including myself would 'want' you of course. What I don't see is what that has to do with the birthday boy? When it comes to Gods and mortals there aren't really limits in terms of things like age when one is immortal as long as the object of our affections is capable of deciding for themselves if they desire that affection and they are fully grown mature adults it is perfectly acceptable in most cases to engage in some relationships between Gods and mortals, within reason. Some things would be frowned upon due to power inequality, however this is not one of those things so we needn't worry about that in this instance. If Danny desires anyone, that is for him to decide just like any one of us here at this table, right my dear?" He raised an eyebrow at Freddie's comments on him being old enough to be a 'Daddy'. He remembered fondly the many times Freddie called him that very nickname, even yelled it out in moans of ecstasy, though he wasn't about to mention that in front of their new friend.<br/>

He crossed one leg over the other leaning towards the beautiful young man.  "And as for you, I can almost guarantee, you will be surprised by the end of your time with us, if that is truly your desire? You will have experienced the meaning of true passion for life. I think we can find a way to break through that monotony." he placed a hand on the mans thigh, smiling at him before Freddie began to tease him further. <br/>
<br/>
He watched the performance noticing the awe and disbelief on the young mans face at his good fortune to witness the famous singer perform for him and right in front of his eyes! He knew this young man was deserving of his time, he clearly appreciated the gifts bestowed upon him thus far. Once Freddie concluded his performance, Heph rose to his feet and applauded for him fervently. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(153, 204, 255)">"Bravo! Bellisimo! Hephaestus cheered for clapping for Freddie and then in turn for Danny at Freddie's request.</span>
