[@Queentze] [color=662d91]"Hermes, what have I told you about showing up unannounced. Your one of the few members of our [i]family[/i] that I can still tolorate. Now I am a busy man, What do you want?"[/color] Hermes smirked at Hades. At least, he did at first. Hades' directness had always appealed to The Messenger's jittery nature. He generally didn't like beating around the bush, so to speak, at least not here. He didn't want to spend any more time in this realm than was absolutely required. Still, Hades' slightly off-putting manner made Hermes wonder if he might be wasting his time here. [color=fff200]"Well, Uncle, you know me. I'm not one for following orders."[/color] He tossed a loose pebble he had been studiously staring at onto the base of Hades' rather disturbing throne. The other god didn't seem very amused, so Hermes rose and spoke more quickly and formally, not wanting to raise his uncle's ire. [color=fff200]"A-anyway,"[/color] Hermes stammered, in his best impression of meekness, [color=fff200]"I'm to give you a message, Lord of The Underworld. There is to be a meeting soon, in about a tenday's time. The other Olympians gather at the Mountain. Zeus has something to say. Apparently, it's quite important. He's even requested you."[/color] Pointing out the rarity of Hades' invitation to Olympus wasn't meant to be an insult, merely a show of how important the occasion was. [color=fff200]"I have others to inform, and I'd hate to disappoint Father. Can we expect you?"[/color] With that, he raised an eyebrow at Hades questioningly.
