[orangebrained]

Are you busy?

[trueholy]

Not particularly. Is something amiss?

[orangebrained]

Not exactly.

I'm just concerned about Hermes.

[trueholy]

Ahh, Hermes. I have been trying to invite him over for an age.


I have a feeling he still feels guilty for the things he did. I do understand his plight.

[orangebrained]

Just a feeling?
You probably know him better than I do, but I don't think we really need to speculate. Hermes is like that.

[trueholy]

So, you want help getting him out, do you? I can definitely do my best.

[orangebrained]

I don't have that much trouble inviting him to go to places with me. I think we've become good friends.

But... is he spending a lot of time with you, Hades, and Hythlodaeus?

[trueholy]

He is not.


It’s complicated, you know, the way things were left.

[orangebrained]

I know.

And I think, even if you were all vocal in forgiving him of what happened, he would still blame himself anyway.

[trueholy]

Unfortunately you are right about that. I understand him. Perhaps not as much as I would like, but I understand.

[orangebrained]

So do I.

More than I'd like to, sometimes.
But I think that it helps.

I like making him laugh. He can be a lot of fun.

[trueholy]

As much as I would love to be on that level with him.

He has to be okay with all of us first. It is not something I can force him into. I would much rather us gradually get there.


…did you know it took a very long time, and a prison in between dream and reality for Emet-Selch and I to finally make up?

[orangebrained]

I didn't know that, but it doesn't really surprise me...

[Knowing what he knows of Emet-Selch, and of what happened.]

I know it has to be hard. For all of you. I hope you don't think I'm assuming otherwise.

[trueholy]

I do not think you are.


…I just hope that one day he will come around. None of us were perfect, were we?

[orangebrained]

No, not at all.

But I don't think that's a bad thing.

Hermes just needs some time, right? Maybe I can get him to talk a little... It might be less awkward with me.

[trueholy]

Do you think he would talk to you? About his reservations I mean.

[orangebrained]

I'm not sure... but I can try, can't I? I don't think I can make things any worse.

While we were in Elpis... I think I was able to understand him a little. With Meteion's help.

[trueholy]

Maybe not. At least, I hope not.

[orangebrained]

I'll try.

I care about him, Venat. Even after everything.

I care about all of you.
