         ”Is this better?”

"You are so not winning America's next top model with that smile. It look like a scowly-smirk-I'mma kill you look."

"And… Not the good kind, I’m guessing."

"Is there a good kind of gas? If so tell me about it." he perked a brow.

He kept his eyes on her trying to figure out how she had adapted to being up here with the gods after being their plaything for so long--so much of her life. "No, I just need to rest. A good chat while I sit." He replied, "It's he job. Comes with it's ups and downs but it's okay, give me special privileges. So I'm good."

He smirked and stopped on his heal, turning around slowly. "Yes, sweetheart? Finally had a spark of imagination, then?"

"Yes, but we are not mortals. This is not my realm, and most of the other gods and goddesses would wish that my.. position was erased, despite it’s creation by our dearest Father.”

"No, no we're not." He replied in a low voice. But he was trying to compliment her and sometimes it felt as though no matter how hard he tried she would find fault in his words. And yet he wouldn't quit. he'd fight for that smile. "They can wish it gone all they want, but you are a queen. And even if you are in your realm, you're still a princess here. still someone important."

      Iðunn lifted her chin, an arch smile unfurling across       her lips. “I’ll have you know, I’m a delight,” insisted       the youthful goddess. “You should feel honoured to       share in my company.”

Hermes liked her confidence, "I'm sure you are." He replied watching her lips spread into a smile. It seemed contagious at the time while he gazed at her. "Oh? When does this feeling of being honoured start. I'm ready for it."

"Really? I didn’t think that would work," she grinned. "Ok. Dinner it is. I’m still wearing a fancy dress though. Maybe not black tie attire but something gorgeous and somewhat casual." She wondered at his words about her secret thoughts. "I’m not an incredibly secretive person. But I do tend to keep certain things to myself. I guess you’ll just have to spend more time with me to figure my secrets out."

"Now, look who's making me sound easy now." He grinned, to him this was all some great game. It could have been anyone that he'd paid attention to. The mere fact that it was Eos, was coincidence. And hearing her words of having wanted him prior had him chuckling. "There's this nice bistro, about a quarter mile from here. You won't miss it. It takes up half a city block. Around nine." He continued, "Well, I'll be getting to know you tonight then."

    Finally raising her gaze the God across from her she sighed lightly. ” Sigyn. ” Was the answer that finally came, auburn locks sliding forward and off her shoulders as she lent forward. ” And with which God do I have the Norns favor in speaking with? ” The Goddess pulled back, looking over the room once more, eyes lingering on the baristas behind the counter for a moment before returning to God. ” And does it really matter to you if the filters are not changed? Surely you have no need for this sort of thing. If you had desire to have quality you could acquire it easily by other means? “

"And what if I want to see you again? That doesn't seem fair." He smiled, as he looked down at the latte in front of him, his fingers curled around the curves of the cup. "Of course it matters, they put up world's best quality coffee and I expect quality. ---I mean I could change venues I have before but I knew the original owner of this specific place. Back in the early nineteen hundreds. She was nice. It's changed hands a few time and now it's gone for shit. But it's sentimental---"

          “Seems like Zeus has a favouritism with his daughters. Even if Athena is the favourite one.” He scratched his head. “If he really had made all wish come true, then why I don’t see Orion alive?” He grinned. He liked to joke with those things. But after the other started talking about his private life, he got serious, but a small smile appeared on his face when he heard he was happy with his wife. “That’s really nice, I hope it stays like that for a long while.”

"Yeah, dear old daddy has always held favourites with one thing or another. Just like He love Leto for one thing, and other lovers for other stuff. And with his kids, he had a favourite a daughter, and he ranks us all in our gender. Of course. Between his twins he does seem to love Artemis more." he smacked his lips, "Well, Orion was sort of both Artemis and Apollo's fault wasn't it? Orion was going to marry her, Apollo was like hell no and taunted his sister that she couldn't hit that little target way out there in the sea. Turns out she could, and that she just killed Orion----" he shrugged, "At least that's what I heard. Everyone seems to be telling their own story. But in the end Artemis wept and put Orion up on the stars stuff or whatever." He placed his hands on his hips, "Yeah-yeah. Well, if it doesn't it's only for an eternity, right? Marriage." He joked.

"They’re nice" the god said, referring to the paintings. He knew how much his father loved Peitho and, since he loved his father, he always tried to love his step mother as well. "I- I’m not sure that’s such a good idea, Papa. I mean, you two seem to have a great life." His father was doing well, not that it came as a surprise to Pan. Hermes was always charming and adaptable. "I don’t want to mess that up for you."

He smacked his lips before returning to his thought. "----you were gone and I thought. I thought. I don't know." He looked away at the paintings on the wall. He might have to move a few of them if his wife was going to keep going. Hermes was definitely not an easy god to love, not with all his infidelities and Peitho's sisterly tie to Hera. At least, his was wasn't vengeful. Her mind was always on bad business. "Yeah---Peitho, she's painting. Did I already---" He was talking in circles and he knew it. "Why would you think that? You would make it better. I thought you were gone, like there was a whole in me---I guess I sound stupid. But you're not.. But when i thought you were I was crushed----why? Why did you do that? Did something happen were you in trouble? I could have helped. I would have helped. Why? What was it for?"

           ” Well forgive me for associating               you with the call of w a r.”

"Just because I aided the Greeks--sheesh. I am most commonly seen as the god of travelers, and I do party trick on sundays when I feel like it. But war....come on. I leave that to you and Ares. I just make sure people get to where they are going. Not my fault."
