"I know, I know," Josh murmurs, squeezing Henry a little. "But how about I try to make you feel better instead? Just a bit anyway," he suggests, leaning over to press a kiss to Henry's cheek. "And then later, maybe we can beat the idiot out of Grumpy Smurf back there."

A small amount of anger disperses with a kiss from Josh, in the form of a grunt. He pulls Josh in for a side-squeeze.

"Yeah, as much as it would feel good, I don't think we CAN. We need to use our brains for this." He gives a playful grin to Josh. "Not my strongest suit."

Josh chuckles and gives Henry another little kiss closer to the mouth. "You're smarter than you give yourself credit for, Henry," he says.

"Hmm. There some kind of central records building or library on this planet?" he asks. "Maybe we can do some research."

"Nah, I just get by on looks," he responds, a teasing tone still in his voice, letting Josh's kisses move closer to his mouth. "I get all the best heroes to stick around me through sheer sexual magnetism. It's a gift."

His hand moves to the back of Josh's scalp, where it runs through his hair, giving slow, gentle scratches. "Seriously, the library is probably a good idea. I mean, if we can get a chance to check out the Book of Oa... that'd probably help us find the legal arguments we need. And maybe we should make an appointment to see the Green Lantern lawyer."

"Please," Josh chuckles quietly. "That's not the only reason the best heroes stick around you," he says, hoping to disperse more of that anger.

The scratches get a low mmmm out of Josh. Placing a quick kiss on Henry's lips, the healer pulls back and quirks a brow. "Green Lantern lawyer?" he asks. "Now I know it's entirely possible for a member of the Corps to be a lawyer but you're telling me the corps has one who's specifically the lawyer for the whole thing?"

He returns the kiss when offered, then raises an eyebrow at Josh.

"Yeah. Who do you think does the prosecution of the criminals we capture?" He leans back until he's lying on the sand, his arms behind his head, as he shuts his eyes, allowing the conversation and presence of his boyfriend to relax him.

"And you're right. For the best heroes to stick around, I need to put out for them sometimes."

"I dunno. I figured they went through the legal systems of their planets of origin or wherever they committed the crimes," Josh shrugs. He joins Henry on the sand, snuggling up to his boyfriend. "So where is this Book of Oa and is any little blue gnome going to have a conniption fit if I decide to go read some of it?"

"Goof," Josh snickers. "Good as that is, we stick around for another reason."

"It's that thing I do with my tongue, right?" He bumps Josh with his shoulder. "And the Book of Oa is available to look through for any Green Lantern. You can come with me when I do. It's sort of... the whole history of the Corps, all in one site."

Josh rolls his eyes and bumps Henry right back. "Nope," he says, chuckling. "There's more to you than just being a sexy beast that's great in bed," he insists. The healer then nods. "Useful. I wanna know exactly when and why this little law was put into place. I noticed a good way to help get rid of a law is to show that it's no longer applicable to the current day."

"Good point," Henry nods. "We can head there in a minute." Then he gives Josh a mock-blank stare and slips into a surfer-like accent. "...sex, great body..." He gives a smile and nod one might expect of a slow-witted man. "Oh yeah. That's right. I cook, too." He gives a hang-loose hand-signal and sticks out his tongue at Josh.

Josh just laughs and reaches over to give Henry a noogie. "You goofball," he says fondly. "You know what I mean. You're just messing with me."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah," he smirks, elbowing Josh gently back.

"...it's 'cause I'm hung."

Josh blushes and laughs. "Dude, so not what I mean but it's definitely a plus."

Henry takes a deep sigh, holding on to Josh as he leans back on the ground in silence, the anger slowly evaporating out of him.

Josh gives a little sigh of his own and leans down with Henry. The healer stays quiet, just watching Henry with his senses and planning their next moves.
