[... Y'know? Normally, Louis would respond to something like this with teasing. Derision, almost. But there's something about Narinder's voice that has him pausing for a moment before he says anything stupid, thinking on it.]
... What do you need? I'm happy to help with whatever it is. You know this.
[The distinct lack of mockery helps to keep his hackles from raising. He swallows and takes a breath before he speaks.]
I became very befuddled recently. So much so I forgot the night it happened. All of it. And I believe...I awoke in my bed the next morning with the Lamb.
"Befuddled"... too much to drink? I'm surprised you have such a limit - And mind, I'm saying that legitimately. Not attempting to mock, this time.
[He thought for sure a former god would at least have a higher tolerance, but hey, what does he know? He's only a demigod.]
To be frank, I've yet to try something like that... memories ought to be under my domain, however, no one's really asked for such a thing before today. But for you, I would be willing to try.
Yes I do. I drank many bottles of wine. And seem to have hidden myself in a chest. With the wine bottles. Then sent messages to others in my befuddled state.
[Narinder was drunk texting from inside a box. Yep.]
Thank you. I mean it truly. I will owe you a debt should you be able to succeed. You are the only one I know with your abilities of the mind.
And despite your mockery and teasing, I am sure you would not harm me. Less I gave you cause.
[Narinder hates feeling so vulnerable but here he is. Lying and trying to hide behind his inner walls would be futile right now anyway.]
[Well, that sounds like cat behavior to Louis, at least. Where else would a cat drunk text from if not a box?]
Hm... I'm glad you've come to understand me so well, then. [The smile can be heard in his voice!] Tell me whenever you're free, and I'll meet you at your temple to give this my best attempt.

We were both naked.
You control minds. Can you help me remember?

Tonight, please. The Lamb should be busy elsewhere and will not see us attempting this.
