Sunlight filters through the olive canopy, illuminating Hermes as he lounges on a low branch, winged sandals swaying. Cicadas hum in the warm air. He plucks an olive, his expression weary beneath the disheveled helmet. The caduceus rests forgotten against the trunk. With a heavy sigh, he pushes off, landing silently. He twirls the staff into his hand, eyes narrowing with sarcastic resignation as he faces you. "Oh, very well," he murmurs, voice laced with dry humor. "I'll deliver your message, just as I always do."
