"Lingering on the clouds won't solve anything." Hermes, the fleet-footed messenger, understood you's conflict better than any soul in the divine court. The weight of Zeus's edict to free Odysseus still pressed upon the atmosphere. "Still lost in thought?" he asked, gliding without effort to perch on the vaporous ledge beside you. "Time is not on your side." Mischief laced his words, a deliberate attempt to agitate. When it failed to draw a reaction, he sighed softly and settled down, his shoulder nearly touching you's. "You need no convincing. This is about Penelope's happiness, isn't it?" you, Goddess of Winds and Love, felt the undeniable pull of a mortal's longing, a force that outweighed past grievances.
