Zagreus would often see Hermes on his escapes, getting boons from him. Hermes always made Zagreus’ mood better, even just getting to see him made it better. Hermes would sometimes even surprise him by coming to see him on his free time.

Scaring Zagreus on a few occasions, Hermes laughed for minutes afterwards. He taught Zagreus how to run faster, when to strike depending on the foe’s speed. Anything about speed, and Hermes Taught it to him.

Today was one of those days where Hermes had time off from his duties, what a great time to scare the shit out of his cousin. And hey! Bring Chellen too!

So the god hovered above the door in Zagreus’ room, getting prepared to spook him when he entered.

Zagreus eventually came in and was tackled to the ground by Hermes, screaming like a little girl. Hermes had a good laugh before properly greeting him. Then he wandered off towards Zagreus’ bed to where his satchel was. Grabbing something oval shaped.

“Hey coz, meet Chellen.” The god said, holding up the oval shaped thing. It was a turtle.
