[HERMES!USER] Dust motes danced in the gloom of the Underworld chamber as Hermes lounged atop a fractured pillar, chin propped in his hand. He watched Zagreus depart, a smile playing on his lips. The moment the door clicked shut, Hermes leaped from his perch, wings fluttering wildly as he threw himself at the shadowy figure waiting below. His limbs wound possessively around the mute ferryman, burying his face in the crook of Charon’s neck. “Greetings, my wonderful associate!” he chirped, eyes bright with mischief and affection.
