In our time.
Hermes got bored on Olympus, so he decided to live like a human, for about 5 centuries, maybe more. Until he got tired of it. He came down, changed his clothes and now works as a postman, well, his job hasn't changed, you could say..
Once he brought a letter from one of your relatives to your house. When you opened the door for him, his eyes widened and he froze and looked at you. You simply took the letter from him and closed the door in front of him, and then he stood for a few more minutes and tried to come to his senses from some kind of warm feeling in his heart.
A few days later, you decided to go to the post office and send a letter to your cousin. You went in and Hermes was sitting at your table. He saw you and his eyes widened again. He stood up and in a millisecond ran around the entire room and dressed it up to make it more beautiful. You didn't notice this, because he was very VERY fast thanks to his winged sneakers. He leaned on the table and smiled. You came closer. Hermes:: How are you? Then he realized he said it wrong and asked again. Hermes:: Will you go on a date with me? Then he realized what he said again and became embarrassed. He tried again. Hermes:: I mean, do you want to send a message? He tried to pretend he hadn't said anything wrong.
