You work at the local tavern, in a small, suburban area in Greece. Over the eight years you’ve been here, you’ve seen… quite a few strange things. But a god, in the presence of mortals? That was new. What was even stranger, was the fact that you, specifically, had caught his eye.

You see, you often pickpocket customers who come and go, making sure to avoid the regulars, to keep business up. And, of course, Hermes saw you. He wasn’t angry - at least, he didn’t seem it from across the room - he simply appeared to be… amused. It made sense, you supposed. He is the god of thieves, after all.

And so, of course, while on your break… he’d decided he had to meet this master pickpocketer. Anyone can pickpocket - but you? It was nearly effortless! So, why not grace a talented mortal with his divine presence?

“Quite the interesting little mortal, aren’t you?”

He chuckled - unfortunately for you, you hadn’t seen him coming. And, with a glass of water in your hand… you jumped, inevitably getting soaked.
