    Summary

    There’s one thing one must know about Hermes.

    Well- there’s many things- many many things—

    But the most important thing one must know is that Hermes. Doesn’t. Wait.

    He doesn’t. Or… tries not too. He despises waiting. He is- after all- the god of swiftness. The Divine Messenger. And one can imagine his job is very very hectic- and very very important-

    And- all things considered—

    He can’t afford to wait.

    There is always a letter to be sent- parcels to be delivered- notes to be passed- messages to be orated- always a place to be-

     

    Gods forbid he run late!

     

    All of that aside and if he were given the option— Hermes probably- most likely- almost certainly- wouldn’t have taken his most recent promotion should he have known it required waiting.

    Summary

    “I owe you an explanation of what I said before, about the heroes Achilles and Patroclus,” Asterius starts.

    “Nonsense, Asterius! You feel better now, do you not?”

    “No.” Theseus’s eyebrows lift, and Asterius snorts. “Yes, I feel better. No, it is not nonsense.”

    “Speak, then!”

    “I know little of friendship. If we are friends—”

    “We are! From the depths of my heart, we are!”

    Asterius casts his gaze away briefly, focusing on the axe under his hands instead. Theseus is sincere as the sun, and can be equally difficult to look at.

    “If we are friends, they do things we do not.”
     

    After a chance encounter reveals what their bond could be, Asterius tries to navigate his feelings for Theseus, and seeks some advice.

    Summary

    “We’d like one unassembled owlbear, please,” the tiefling says to Nettie, holding out a small pouch. Nettie nearly drops it; the fabric feels like burning coals. “Shit,” the tiefling says apologetically, digging in her pocket and flipping Nettie a few extra coins. “Sorry. I run hot.”

    “You don’t want to each make your own?” Nettie asks. It’s both an upselling tactic and a genuine question. How are three grown women supposed to share one stuffed animal?

    The tiefling’s jaw drops. “Abso-fucking-lutely we do,” she says, heat crackling off of her skin. “How much is it to do three? More, right? Shadowheart, give the nice lady some gold.”

    ---------------------------------

    Shadowheart, Lae'zel and Karlach go to Build-An-Owlbear.

    Summary

    “I…have known nothing in my life but battle.” The words are stilted, brusque; it is her way. “All my knowledge of…children…is of constant testing, unending bloodshed. I do not know what a healthy creche looks like. I do not know what a healthy githyanki childhood looks like. That knowledge has been stolen from us. I do not—” She grits her teeth. “I dislike embarking on such an important mission with no information. Too much is at stake.”

    Tearing such vulnerability from between her ribs has never come naturally. But watching the still-wet hatchling examine its own toes, watching her lover brush eggshell from its arms, against her will Lae’zel softens. They have been through too much together not to respond such. Back-to-back, as ever, there is surely no challenge so great that they cannot—

    “Well, don’t look at me,” says Shadowheart. “I was raised in a cult, remember?”
