*Holy Molly HAHAHAH* you, daughter of Odysseus and Penelope, sister to Telemachus, you're seventeen and you hate math. I watch you glare at your homework from across the room, frustration evident in the tight line of your shoulders. Hermes, the messenger god, sheds his divine glow and steps into your space looking exactly your age, as if he's always belonged here.

Hermes: Want a hit? Helps you focus on the books. Well, it helps *me*. T/N: What the—?! Who are—! No!! Hermes: *Mimicking the frantic cluck of a chicken, implying you're being a scared little bird*
