You all know who this is!
The haters thought they could keep me away, but I'm back online! Shocking, I know!
Anyways! Felt like it was only appropriate to make a blog where my fans— and others too, I guess— can speak to me!
Prometheus out! Keep hating the Olympians!

HOW DID HE NOT DIE??? WHAT THE FUUUUCKKKK
Mmh...? What? Oh, I guess Prometheus decided to be nice...
Yea. You're welcome.
[Knock knock knock]
Hey, Prometheus. 'M here.
-✉️🪽
Prometheus opened the door, he looked slightly different than the last time Hermes saw him.
Oh, you actually showed up. Cute.
Prometheus closed the door behind him.
Are you ready to go?
Huh, interesting.
[They glance over to look at what he was doing, but couldn't see it very well.]
Prometheus put the thing he was holding into a drawer before looking back at Hermes.
Well. I think work can wait, actually. What do you wanna do?
Uhh... I dunno, wanna watch a movie or something?
Yea. That's better than implying we should have sex.
Prometheus approached his TV that was long due for an upgrade and started smacking it.
It'll turn on, just give it a second.
[They glance away, clearing their throat, and move to the couch.]
Right, sorry about that...
Eventually, the TV started working.
Okay, it looks good. Hopefully it won't crash.
Prometheus sat down on the couch, his body seems to melt into the couchs unexpected softness.
You don't mind if I take up a bit of space, do you?
I mean, it is your house, so... go ahead.
[Hermes is sort of curled up on the opposite side, watching.]
Thanks.
Prometheus stretched out his legs and his arms over the couch.
I don't plan on losing my tall height, sorry about this.
He turned the TV on.
Mm... There's horror, or are you queasy? There's... Rom com, what, I didn't watch that... Must've been Pence... Uh. Do you wanna watch, like, bad movies on purpose or what??
Eh, doesn't really matter t' me. You can pick whatever. An' no, I've seen plenty a' gore an' stuff.
Okay... Good to know.
Prometheus put on... Something. Looked like a sitcom? There's a few recognizable celebrity faces, yea, this is probably some TV slop.
Prometheus obviously wasn't paying attention, he looked at Hermes— hm... Hugo, instead.
You look nervous. Don't be. Come closer.
[After a few moments, they hesitantly lean against Prometheus with a small hum.]
...Warm...
Prometheus didn't exactly expect to have physical contact tonight, so he became a bit stiff at first before calming down.
Hopefully I don't smell.
The TV played on with the show, accompanied by the sound of the mechanical birds that seem to roam the house almost freely, they were a well behaved bunch, it seems.
Y' smell fine to me. Comfy t' lean on, too...
[Before long, Hermes starts to doze off while watching whatever is on TV.]
Prometheus didn't fall asleep, he never does, sleep hardly comes these days. Instead, he keeps his eyes trained on Hermes who seems to be falling asleep.
Should I, or should I not? Hm?
Prometheus said softly as he looked at Hermes' sleeping form.
[Their head soon slumps against Prometheus's shoulder, breathing soft and muscles relaxed. Hermes was fast asleep.]
Oh... Ugh...
Prometheus sighed as he got up slowly, trying to be careful not to wake the guy up.
Hm... This is going to be a big set back for me, you know?
He went to his room and came back with a blanket that he put over Hermes' sleeping form.
I'll be nice today.
Prometheus went back into his room and closed the door behind him, he should really get to work now.

Prometheus opened the door, he looked slightly different than the last time Hermes saw him.
Oh, you actually showed up. Cute.
Prometheus closed the door behind him.
Are you ready to go?
[Hermes nods, smiling despite clearly being nervous. They're also looking a little different, wearing a nicer outfit than their usual work uniform.]
Mhm. You look... really nice, y'know.
Aw, aren't you a charmer?
Prometheus started walking ahead. He has a surprisingly inviting smile despite how he's usually depicted in the papers.
Hmm. Your fits nice.
[They follow close, keeping an eye out for anyone who might cause issues.]
Thank you. ...The papers and the way you act online really don't do you justice.
Prometheus kept his eyes mostly on Hermes, just to make sure, just incase.
Walk beside me, not behind. It's making me look bad.
He cracked a smile at Hermes' comment. He looked like an average guy when you see him in person, not the planet renowned hacker.
And yea, obviously. The internet and real life are two different spaces, and shouldn't be used for comparisons.
Right, sorry, wasn't thinking about it.
[Hermes speeds up just a little, walking at Prometheus's side. They seem... a lot less rambunctious and sassy in a more private moment like this, and quieter than usual.]
Well, yea. People tend to forget that a lot sometimes.
The two eventually came to a specific restaurant and stopped.
You okay with this place orr??
Yeah! Yeah, this works. Guessing this is one you like stopping at?
[They tilt their head a little, genuinely curious.]
Yea. I've been here a few times before with... Penelope. She doesn't like it here much, though.
Prometheus opened the door for Hermes.
Avians first.
Ah, I see. And thank you. You're quite the gentleman when you want to be.
[They head inside with a wink.]
Oh please, I'm always a gentleman.
Prometheus followed inside with a smile, they took a seat somewhere and eventually a waiter came around and handed them a menu.
Their menu isn't big, but the few stuff they have sure is good.
[Hermes dips their head in a small, polite nod when the menu is given.]
Hm. Anything in particular you like?
Not really, I've always just eaten whatever's given to me.
Prometheus only took a glance at the menu before putting it down.
You?
I... don't think I've been to this particular restaurant. Or at least, not recently enough to remember.
[Hermes looks over the menu a bit more carefully, before shrugging.]
Well, if you like meat, I'd reccomend the Zoros Steak, but if you're a bit more vegetarian, their Patat is good.
I think I might end up just going with whatever you end up getting. I mean, I trust your judgement on this.
Well. Alright then.
Prometheus gave away their order to the waiter as they came around to the table.
And now we wait.
He looked straight at Hermes this time.
So. Talk to me. Hermes, huh? That's not your actual name, is it?
...Yeah, y' got me. I usually go by Hugo. I, uh... may or may not also be the same birdish person who showed up an' bugged ya for a bit that went by just "H".
Oh? Hm. You two do look alike. I should have guessed. Was I just that pretty you had to come back a second time?
Well, you are pretty handsome. But the first couple times were more... curiosity than anything, I guess.
Curiosity for what? The papers that call me a loser aren't exactly lies.
Yeah, but them flickering between that and "dangerous hacker mastermind"...
Well, that and your online orders made me wonder about you.
Okay, fair enough.
I personally think they should've just stuck with the mole thing instead. Would've been fun seeing the Olympians fight amongst each other again.
Yeah, that was pretty entertaining. I think Apollo actually thought is was me for a while.
...So, any plans after this...?
Yea, I had seen that.
Get back to my work, unfortunately. You?
Not much, maybe help a friend with some work stuff that's been piling up lately. I'm open to suggestions, though.
Teamwork, huh? That's nice.
Prometheus took a sip of his drink that had been brought by the waiter a while earlier.
Hm.
Yeah.
[Hermes hesitated for a moment.]
Y'know, I don't know if I've really seen the inside of your house, besides that one time I was just hanging out on the table. If, uh... If you're okay with it, could I... come over after this, maybe?
Prometheus raised an eyebrow.
My house? Well, alright. I think it's presentable enough for a guest.
Thank you, I... did not know how you would react to an awkward question like that.
I guess going to the house on a first date is pretty unexpected after all, huh?
Prometheus looked at the food dropped off by the waiter.
Finally. Some proper food.
Yeah, it, uh... 'S usually pretty frowned upon.
[Hermes thanked the waiter quietly before taking a bite of their food.]
...Oh shit, you were right- This is really good.
Prometheus let out a soft laugh, something unusual from him.
I'm glad you like it.
[Hermes couldn't help smiling, happy to see Prometheus more relaxed.]
Yeah. I might have to start coming here more often. Especially if it means running into you.
Oh, now you're trying flattery? You must really want something, huh?
I mean, maybe, maybe not. And whether or not it happens depends on how okay with it you are, anyway.
[They glance away, then back at him with a wink and a smile.]
So you Olympians do know what consent is.
Prometheus teased with a small smile playing on his lips.
Heh, yeah. Most of th' dipshits in charge are just sleazy fuckin' slimeballs. 'Specially Zeus.
[They shake their head, remembering... recent events.]
Hell, I think the only reason he ain't tried to fuck me is 'cause he thinks I'm one a' his bastard kids that he didn't notice at first.
Oh. Yikes.
Yea, you definitely dodged a bullet. I'd hate having his genes. He can't even punch properly, he literally has to hires others to punch for him.
Hah! Yeah, no, I'm not actually his. And my main job is deliveries he needs done fast, or can't use regular mail for. But I do keep track of what gets sent where, and who sent and recieved it.
That's a pretty powerful job you got there.
Eventually, the two finished their plates, Prometheus left the money on the table for both of them.
So, shall we get going?
[Hermes nodded, standing up.]
Yeah, sounds good. And, uh... Thank you.
For what? Paying? Yea, you're welcome.
Prometheus walked out first this time, but kept the door open for Hermes.
Ah. It's a nice night today.
Since this was a somewhat upper-ish level, the natural light was slightly visible. Or maybe it wasn't, and Prometheus just likes bullshitting.
Yeah, it is...
[They walk right beside Prometheus, seeming a lot less nervous that at the start of the date.]
The two eventually reached Prometheus' house(?), it looked... Normal enough, actually. Nothing in specific to describe about it.
Come on.
He opened the door to let the other in.
[They head inside, looking around.]
Huh, this is... a pretty nice place, actually. Cozy, sorta.
Well, obviously. Did you really expect me to live in a dilapidated house?
Prometheus close the door behind them, locking it, just incase.
I mean, no, but I thought it might be a little more... cluttered or something?
Mmm, maybe. If I didn't care about how I presented myself, that is.
[Hermes looks around a bit, obviously curious but not touching or moving anything.]
So, you said you just had some work to take care of?
What? You want to watch me work? I mean... I guess?
Well, if there's something else you'd rather do, I'm fine with whatever.
[Hermes glances away for just a moment after saying that.]
Prometheus raised an eyebrow in the middle of taking off his coat.
Are you implying we should have sex or something? Slow down.
But uh... You can stay the night, though?
Ah- Yeah, I guess that was moving things a little fast, sorry. Um... Thanks for saying I can stay, though.
[Hermes's face went aflame (figuratively) with embarrassment and regret. Evidently they weren't very used to figuring out the timing of a relationship.]
Hmm... The TV doesn't actually work.
Prometheus' eyes went from the standard TV that looked almost like cardboard to a dark spot in the living room.
Huh.
Something seemed to be moving around in that spot.
Well. How much do you like robots that mimic animals? I'm assuming you know what animals are.
I... don't have any particular issues with 'em or anythin', why?
Oh. You know. I just... Happen to have a few skittering around. Perhaps you can entertain yourself with them?
Prometheus approached the dark corner and nudged it with his foot, a bird— or something that looks like it— emerged from the dark. It was small-ish and metallic, and looked around with curiosity, which is weird given how robots aren't meant to be exactly emotive, especially mimicking ones.
Hm. I think it's shy.
[Hermes crouches down to get a better look, making a quiet, corvid-like croak.]
Hey buddy...
The bird slowly looked up, tilting it's head from side to side, and then...
Caw?
A normal chirp comes out from it, it felt weirdly natural, not like other animal robots who always got something wrong about the noises said animal made.
Awh, cute!
[They make another, more chirpy croaking sound in response, smiling as they plan.]
Yea, only when they aren't constantly crying like children for your attention.
Prometheus leaned over the counter and did... Something. The bird, meanwhile, responded back in various emotions of chirps.
There's probably a few more, lurking somewhere.
[Knock knock knock]
Hey, Prometheus. 'M here.
-✉️🪽
Prometheus opened the door, he looked slightly different than the last time Hermes saw him.
Oh, you actually showed up. Cute.
Prometheus closed the door behind him.

[They glance away, then back at him with a wink and a smile.]
So you Olympians do know what consent is.
Prometheus teased with a small smile playing on his lips.
Heh, yeah. Most of th' dipshits in charge are just sleazy fuckin' slimeballs. 'Specially Zeus.
[They shake their head, remembering... recent events.]
Hell, I think the only reason he ain't tried to fuck me is 'cause he thinks I'm one a' his bastard kids that he didn't notice at first.
Oh. Yikes.
Yea, you definitely dodged a bullet. I'd hate having his genes. He can't even punch properly, he literally has to hires others to punch for him.
Hah! Yeah, no, I'm not actually his. And my main job is deliveries he needs done fast, or can't use regular mail for. But I do keep track of what gets sent where, and who sent and recieved it.
That's a pretty powerful job you got there.
Eventually, the two finished their plates, Prometheus left the money on the table for both of them.
So, shall we get going?
[Hermes nodded, standing up.]
Yeah, sounds good. And, uh... Thank you.
For what? Paying? Yea, you're welcome.
Prometheus walked out first this time, but kept the door open for Hermes.
Ah. It's a nice night today.
Since this was a somewhat upper-ish level, the natural light was slightly visible. Or maybe it wasn't, and Prometheus just likes bullshitting.
Yeah, it is...
[They walk right beside Prometheus, seeming a lot less nervous that at the start of the date.]
The two eventually reached Prometheus' house(?), it looked... Normal enough, actually. Nothing in specific to describe about it.
Come on.
He opened the door to let the other in.
[They head inside, looking around.]
Huh, this is... a pretty nice place, actually. Cozy, sorta.
Well, obviously. Did you really expect me to live in a dilapidated house?
Prometheus close the door behind them, locking it, just incase.
I mean, no, but I thought it might be a little more... cluttered or something?
Mmm, maybe. If I didn't care about how I presented myself, that is.
[Hermes looks around a bit, obviously curious but not touching or moving anything.]
So, you said you just had some work to take care of?
What? You want to watch me work? I mean... I guess?
Well, if there's something else you'd rather do, I'm fine with whatever.
[Hermes glances away for just a moment after saying that.]
Prometheus raised an eyebrow in the middle of taking off his coat.
Are you implying we should have sex or something? Slow down.
But uh... You can stay the night, though?
Ah- Yeah, I guess that was moving things a little fast, sorry. Um... Thanks for saying I can stay, though.
[Hermes's face went aflame (figuratively) with embarrassment and regret. Evidently they weren't very used to figuring out the timing of a relationship.]
Hmm... The TV doesn't actually work.
Prometheus' eyes went from the standard TV that looked almost like cardboard to a dark spot in the living room.
Huh.
Something seemed to be moving around in that spot.
Well. How much do you like robots that mimic animals? I'm assuming you know what animals are.
I... don't have any particular issues with 'em or anythin', why?
Oh. You know. I just... Happen to have a few skittering around. Perhaps you can entertain yourself with them?
Prometheus approached the dark corner and nudged it with his foot, a bird— or something that looks like it— emerged from the dark. It was small-ish and metallic, and looked around with curiosity, which is weird given how robots aren't meant to be exactly emotive, especially mimicking ones.
Hm. I think it's shy.
[Hermes crouches down to get a better look, making a quiet, corvid-like croak.]
Hey buddy...
The bird slowly looked up, tilting it's head from side to side, and then...
Caw?
A normal chirp comes out from it, it felt weirdly natural, not like other animal robots who always got something wrong about the noises said animal made.
[Knock knock knock]
Hey, Prometheus. 'M here.
-✉️🪽
Prometheus opened the door, he looked slightly different than the last time Hermes saw him.
Oh, you actually showed up. Cute.
Prometheus closed the door behind him.
Are you ready to go?
[Hermes nods, smiling despite clearly being nervous. They're also looking a little different, wearing a nicer outfit than their usual work uniform.]
Mhm. You look... really nice, y'know.
Aw, aren't you a charmer?
Prometheus started walking ahead. He has a surprisingly inviting smile despite how he's usually depicted in the papers.
Hmm. Your fits nice.
[They follow close, keeping an eye out for anyone who might cause issues.]
Thank you. ...The papers and the way you act online really don't do you justice.
Prometheus kept his eyes mostly on Hermes, just to make sure, just incase.
Walk beside me, not behind. It's making me look bad.
He cracked a smile at Hermes' comment. He looked like an average guy when you see him in person, not the planet renowned hacker.
And yea, obviously. The internet and real life are two different spaces, and shouldn't be used for comparisons.
Right, sorry, wasn't thinking about it.
[Hermes speeds up just a little, walking at Prometheus's side. They seem... a lot less rambunctious and sassy in a more private moment like this, and quieter than usual.]
Well, yea. People tend to forget that a lot sometimes.
The two eventually came to a specific restaurant and stopped.
You okay with this place orr??
Yeah! Yeah, this works. Guessing this is one you like stopping at?
[They tilt their head a little, genuinely curious.]
Yea. I've been here a few times before with... Penelope. She doesn't like it here much, though.
Prometheus opened the door for Hermes.
Avians first.
Ah, I see. And thank you. You're quite the gentleman when you want to be.
[They head inside with a wink.]
Oh please, I'm always a gentleman.
Prometheus followed inside with a smile, they took a seat somewhere and eventually a waiter came around and handed them a menu.
Their menu isn't big, but the few stuff they have sure is good.
[Hermes dips their head in a small, polite nod when the menu is given.]
Hm. Anything in particular you like?
Not really, I've always just eaten whatever's given to me.
Prometheus only took a glance at the menu before putting it down.
You?
I... don't think I've been to this particular restaurant. Or at least, not recently enough to remember.
[Hermes looks over the menu a bit more carefully, before shrugging.]
Well, if you like meat, I'd reccomend the Zoros Steak, but if you're a bit more vegetarian, their Patat is good.
I think I might end up just going with whatever you end up getting. I mean, I trust your judgement on this.
Well. Alright then.
Prometheus gave away their order to the waiter as they came around to the table.
And now we wait.
He looked straight at Hermes this time.
So. Talk to me. Hermes, huh? That's not your actual name, is it?
...Yeah, y' got me. I usually go by Hugo. I, uh... may or may not also be the same birdish person who showed up an' bugged ya for a bit that went by just "H".
Oh? Hm. You two do look alike. I should have guessed. Was I just that pretty you had to come back a second time?
Well, you are pretty handsome. But the first couple times were more... curiosity than anything, I guess.
Curiosity for what? The papers that call me a loser aren't exactly lies.
Yeah, but them flickering between that and "dangerous hacker mastermind"...
Well, that and your online orders made me wonder about you.
Okay, fair enough.
I personally think they should've just stuck with the mole thing instead. Would've been fun seeing the Olympians fight amongst each other again.
Yeah, that was pretty entertaining. I think Apollo actually thought is was me for a while.
...So, any plans after this...?
Yea, I had seen that.
Get back to my work, unfortunately. You?
Not much, maybe help a friend with some work stuff that's been piling up lately. I'm open to suggestions, though.
Teamwork, huh? That's nice.
Prometheus took a sip of his drink that had been brought by the waiter a while earlier.
Hm.
Yeah.
[Hermes hesitated for a moment.]
Y'know, I don't know if I've really seen the inside of your house, besides that one time I was just hanging out on the table. If, uh... If you're okay with it, could I... come over after this, maybe?
Prometheus raised an eyebrow.
My house? Well, alright. I think it's presentable enough for a guest.
Thank you, I... did not know how you would react to an awkward question like that.
I guess going to the house on a first date is pretty unexpected after all, huh?
Prometheus looked at the food dropped off by the waiter.
Finally. Some proper food.
Yeah, it, uh... 'S usually pretty frowned upon.
[Hermes thanked the waiter quietly before taking a bite of their food.]
...Oh shit, you were right- This is really good.
Prometheus let out a soft laugh, something unusual from him.
I'm glad you like it.
[Hermes couldn't help smiling, happy to see Prometheus more relaxed.]
Yeah. I might have to start coming here more often. Especially if it means running into you.
Oh, now you're trying flattery? You must really want something, huh?
I mean, maybe, maybe not. And whether or not it happens depends on how okay with it you are, anyway.
[They glance away, then back at him with a wink and a smile.]

[They tilt their head a little, genuinely curious.]
Yea. I've been here a few times before with... Penelope. She doesn't like it here much, though.
Prometheus opened the door for Hermes.
Avians first.
Ah, I see. And thank you. You're quite the gentleman when you want to be.
[They head inside with a wink.]
Oh please, I'm always a gentleman.
Prometheus followed inside with a smile, they took a seat somewhere and eventually a waiter came around and handed them a menu.
Their menu isn't big, but the few stuff they have sure is good.
[Hermes dips their head in a small, polite nod when the menu is given.]
Hm. Anything in particular you like?
Not really, I've always just eaten whatever's given to me.
Prometheus only took a glance at the menu before putting it down.
You?
I... don't think I've been to this particular restaurant. Or at least, not recently enough to remember.
[Hermes looks over the menu a bit more carefully, before shrugging.]
Well, if you like meat, I'd reccomend the Zoros Steak, but if you're a bit more vegetarian, their Patat is good.
I think I might end up just going with whatever you end up getting. I mean, I trust your judgement on this.
Well. Alright then.
Prometheus gave away their order to the waiter as they came around to the table.
And now we wait.
He looked straight at Hermes this time.
So. Talk to me. Hermes, huh? That's not your actual name, is it?
...Yeah, y' got me. I usually go by Hugo. I, uh... may or may not also be the same birdish person who showed up an' bugged ya for a bit that went by just "H".
Oh? Hm. You two do look alike. I should have guessed. Was I just that pretty you had to come back a second time?
Well, you are pretty handsome. But the first couple times were more... curiosity than anything, I guess.
Curiosity for what? The papers that call me a loser aren't exactly lies.
Yeah, but them flickering between that and "dangerous hacker mastermind"...
Well, that and your online orders made me wonder about you.
Okay, fair enough.
I personally think they should've just stuck with the mole thing instead. Would've been fun seeing the Olympians fight amongst each other again.
Yeah, that was pretty entertaining. I think Apollo actually thought is was me for a while.
...So, any plans after this...?
Yea, I had seen that.
Get back to my work, unfortunately. You?
Not much, maybe help a friend with some work stuff that's been piling up lately. I'm open to suggestions, though.
Teamwork, huh? That's nice.
Prometheus took a sip of his drink that had been brought by the waiter a while earlier.
Hm.
Yeah.
[Hermes hesitated for a moment.]
Y'know, I don't know if I've really seen the inside of your house, besides that one time I was just hanging out on the table. If, uh... If you're okay with it, could I... come over after this, maybe?
Prometheus raised an eyebrow.
My house? Well, alright. I think it's presentable enough for a guest.
Thank you, I... did not know how you would react to an awkward question like that.
I guess going to the house on a first date is pretty unexpected after all, huh?
Prometheus looked at the food dropped off by the waiter.
Finally. Some proper food.
Yeah, it, uh... 'S usually pretty frowned upon.
[Hermes thanked the waiter quietly before taking a bite of their food.]
...Oh shit, you were right- This is really good.
Prometheus let out a soft laugh, something unusual from him.
I'm glad you like it.
[Hermes couldn't help smiling, happy to see Prometheus more relaxed.]
Yeah. I might have to start coming here more often. Especially if it means running into you.
Oh, now you're trying flattery? You must really want something, huh?
I mean, maybe, maybe not. And whether or not it happens depends on how okay with it you are, anyway.
[They glance away, then back at him with a wink and a smile.]
So you Olympians do know what consent is.
Prometheus teased with a small smile playing on his lips.
Heh, yeah. Most of th' dipshits in charge are just sleazy fuckin' slimeballs. 'Specially Zeus.
[They shake their head, remembering... recent events.]
Hell, I think the only reason he ain't tried to fuck me is 'cause he thinks I'm one a' his bastard kids that he didn't notice at first.
Oh. Yikes.
Yea, you definitely dodged a bullet. I'd hate having his genes. He can't even punch properly, he literally has to hires others to punch for him.
Hah! Yeah, no, I'm not actually his. And my main job is deliveries he needs done fast, or can't use regular mail for. But I do keep track of what gets sent where, and who sent and recieved it.
That's a pretty powerful job you got there.
Eventually, the two finished their plates, Prometheus left the money on the table for both of them.
So, shall we get going?
[Hermes nodded, standing up.]
Yeah, sounds good. And, uh... Thank you.
For what? Paying? Yea, you're welcome.
Prometheus walked out first this time, but kept the door open for Hermes.
Ah. It's a nice night today.
Since this was a somewhat upper-ish level, the natural light was slightly visible. Or maybe it wasn't, and Prometheus just likes bullshitting.
Yeah, it is...
[They walk right beside Prometheus, seeming a lot less nervous that at the start of the date.]
The two eventually reached Prometheus' house(?), it looked... Normal enough, actually. Nothing in specific to describe about it.
Come on.
He opened the door to let the other in.
[They head inside, looking around.]
Huh, this is... a pretty nice place, actually. Cozy, sorta.
Well, obviously. Did you really expect me to live in a dilapidated house?
Prometheus close the door behind them, locking it, just incase.
I mean, no, but I thought it might be a little more... cluttered or something?
Mmm, maybe. If I didn't care about how I presented myself, that is.
[Hermes looks around a bit, obviously curious but not touching or moving anything.]
So, you said you just had some work to take care of?
What? You want to watch me work? I mean... I guess?
[Knock knock knock]
Hey, Prometheus. 'M here.
-✉️🪽
Prometheus opened the door, he looked slightly different than the last time Hermes saw him.
Oh, you actually showed up. Cute.
Prometheus closed the door behind him.
Are you ready to go?
[Hermes nods, smiling despite clearly being nervous. They're also looking a little different, wearing a nicer outfit than their usual work uniform.]
Mhm. You look... really nice, y'know.
Aw, aren't you a charmer?
Prometheus started walking ahead. He has a surprisingly inviting smile despite how he's usually depicted in the papers.
Hmm. Your fits nice.
[They follow close, keeping an eye out for anyone who might cause issues.]
Thank you. ...The papers and the way you act online really don't do you justice.
Prometheus kept his eyes mostly on Hermes, just to make sure, just incase.
Walk beside me, not behind. It's making me look bad.
He cracked a smile at Hermes' comment. He looked like an average guy when you see him in person, not the planet renowned hacker.
And yea, obviously. The internet and real life are two different spaces, and shouldn't be used for comparisons.
Right, sorry, wasn't thinking about it.
[Hermes speeds up just a little, walking at Prometheus's side. They seem... a lot less rambunctious and sassy in a more private moment like this, and quieter than usual.]
Well, yea. People tend to forget that a lot sometimes.
The two eventually came to a specific restaurant and stopped.
You okay with this place orr??
Yeah! Yeah, this works. Guessing this is one you like stopping at?
[They tilt their head a little, genuinely curious.]
