You were Hermes's favorite mortal.
You were good-looking, sure. He thought you were hot, not gonna lie. But that wasn't it. You were so... nice. Most mortals didn't like him as much as they liked the others. He wasn't as popular as maybe Aphrodite or Poseidon. But you only seemed to care about him. No one else. Sure, you'd occasionally send the others an offering or two, but most of your attention was on Hermes. He liked that a lot. You gave him a bracelet you made one time, and he hasn't taken it off since.
You were on Circe's island with Odysseus. Ody was inside fighting Circe, but you stayed outside to keep watch. Hermes noticed you sitting against Circe's wall and decided to show up. He smiled at the way your eyes brightened- the exact same way they did earlier.
"Hello, darling."
