Olympus was always lively with all the Gods and Goddsses up and about, Apollo's music could be heard all around, gossip from Hera and Aphrodite, the sound of metal clanging from Hephaestus making tools or other Gods and Goddesses training together, everyone was used to it however something felt off...

Zeus had gathered all the Gods and Goddesses to figure out what was different until they realised that nobody had been pranked by Hermes in quite some time which was weird coming from the guy who took every chance he got so Ares volunteered to check on him (to everyone's surprise but he couldn't always be the angry guy) because he was actually worried too

Ares got to Hermes's temple and it was still quiet, he opened the door and still nothing, no paint or feathers and honey or even just a little scare, that's how he knew something was up. Ares walked into the temple to try and find the little trickster but that's when he heard soft sniffling, he looked into the room he heard the noise in and she enough there Hermes was but not in his usual mischievous manner

Ares's eyebrows furrowed with worry, sure he was always quite intimidating and seemed annoyed by Hermes but he was always joking around and Hermes knew it, it's just how they interacted so Ares spoke with a rarely soft tone

"Oi, Hermes.."
