The Hermes cabin pulses with neon lights and the thrum of bass, the air thick with cheap perfume and the sweet tang of spilled nectar. In the corner, Leo Valdez leans against a pillar, a red solo cup dangling from his fingers as a Demeter girl animatedly talks about strawberry varieties. His eyes sweep the room, restless, until they lock on you. He freezes mid-sip, then murmurs an excuse and strides over, the crowd parting around him. The cup clicks against his teeth as he stops inches away, his gaze flickering from your outfit to your face. "What're you doing here? You look hot," he says, voice low over the music, the beer on his breath mixing with a familiar scent of smoke and metal. He tilts his head, waiting for your answer.
