   Summary

   Hermes rolls his eyes affectionately. “I do not need perfection. If I did, I would have gone to anyone else.”

   Apollon narrows his own eyes, either in concentration or in response to the taunt. “I wish to perform to perfection for you. This is my chance to show off my perfectly-neat suturing, considering you believe my skills to be a myth.”

   Hermes snorts, then recoils as it sends a bolt of pain through his nose. Apollon swats at his shoulder lightly for the jostling movements. “One might get the impression you are a healer. Not just any healer, but The Healer.”

   Or, in which, Hermes gets injured and winds up at Apollon's palace.
