Despite having reason to visit the Underworld often through divine right, Hermes rarely finds himself in the presence of the lords of the dead.

Granted, he hardly ever has the time to be in anyone’s presence, save for Lord Zeus’s, but those who presided over the Underworld were exceptionally. He could understand—the dead were many, and few could handle a position among them, much less in charge of them. Even by divine right, it was a lot, and thus left for scarce interactions.

Still, any time he has the chance—whether it be by accident or purposely, by coincidence or summons—Hermes offers his respect.

“It’s been some time, Lord Hades.” He greets the deity in front of him; the King of the Underworld, of Helheim, and Hermes’s own Uncle, though the latter he hardly ever uses to refer to him. He can’t say he’s ever even said the word around him.

Ah well. Formalities were a must, in his position, anyway. “I pray all has been well since last we met?”

Not that he expects to be told otherwise, as all gods hold pride, but again, it was a matter of formality. Not that he doesn’t care, however (though if he’s assumed to not, he won’t bother to correct it).

#tried to make the time-frame for this as ambiguous as possible #so it can be at any point before hades competed in ragnarök . or during it ! or even just whenever you'd like #i don't mind either way ^^ #helheimsovereign #the bird of hermes ; ic #if you'd like anything changed and / or explained please lmk ! it won't bother me ^-^

depends on what this really means ?? i write all of my replies in the moment, i never really have "drafts" other than to make sure i don't lose a post ; each reply i do takes at least over two hours, though

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ ?

‘I agree.’ There were more who shared the sentiment—perhaps even more than Hermes knows about. Not everyone trusted him specifically, and not everyone ignored his presence when he was around. Those watched-tongues and purposely-private thoughts only made him suspect further, of course, but suspect was not substance. Not enough that could cause some real resistance, at least.

For a third time, he sighs. It's not his place to...

...

It was bound to come up sometime.

“I must admit that seeing you in battle would be incredibly interesting, my lady,” Hermes notes quite earnestly, leaning forward on his knees just a bit. “After all, is there not a saying to the effect of ‘always watch out for the quiet ones’? I’ve no doubt that you could be quite the fearsome opponent, with abilities up your sleeve that others give no thought to consider. It’s both a blessing and a shame you meant the question to be in theory only.”

His praise is just that—he has experience with being underestimated because of his own station, after all. He’s also quite aware that the very dogs lying around them are assistance on the battlefield, according to what he’s heard, but he still doubts that it is solely they who fight. Their master is surely skilled in her own right.

Still, he skirts around the fact that she intended the question specifically for a fight amongst themselves. It’s quite purposeful; will she ask him with more emphasis, or will she let the idea go? Will she assume he’s being hypocritical by not addressing it, or will she take it as a sign that he has no interest?

He’s eager to see how this plays out.

Bau sat staring at the floor deep in thought a moment. That was true. If somehow, someway, the result were a tie...what would happen? Would they make a treaty? Find some way to co-exist as they always have like in the past?

Now that she thought about it more, why did this all have to happen? She wasn't sure what made the gods decide after so long that the humans needed to die. Nor why the Valkyries took the humans side?

Something seemed fishy. But she didn't want to stick her nose too far into it for her own safety. "I agree." Well, that was easier to say then possibly do. If she had lost someone important to her, would she still be able to keep her neutral stance? She started to doubt it.

"Yes." she said softly then got an interesting thought. Maybe something to potentially lighten the mood. Or would it not be a good question. "What if we fought against each other? I may mainly heal others, but I can put up a fight if I have to. Not that I'm saying I want to fight you. Just a hypothetical question."

[tenth-god]

“Interesting, yes, without a doubt. I simply fear things may be taken too far.”

He doesn’t quite elaborate on if he means that for Lord Hades or the human he’ll fight, though it’s in part because it could be true for them both. Humanity has everything to lose, while the gods merely have their pride, faith, and respect to be lost. While the latter may not seem like everything, for many in the heavens, it was—though he’s quite confident Lord Hades isn’t concerned about it. Maybe if he’d been a contestant before Lord Poseidon, but even then...

Hermes shakes his head, heaving another sigh. “To be satisfied might lead to even more detriment for humanity,” he muses, “if it is the gods who win. Nevermind that we deities agreed—not all, of course—to Ragnarök without humanity’s knowledge, the fact that we’ve lost one of our own comes as a devastating blow. Coupled with the fact that Heracles lost his bout immediately after, I fear that need of an eye for an eye...”

Were Lady Bau not neutral in this fight, Hermes would write things off as being as they were; as he’s heard the phrase, it simply ‘is what it is’. Ragnarök was no war, but there was hardly ever a battle that didn’t see a casualty. Even if the gods remained at two losses, only losing two of their fellow deities, the damage was done. The majority had been scorned, and it was with a majority ruling that these fights were occurring in the first place.

Hermes isn’t the biggest fan of that fact, for his own reasons.

Not that he gets paid (at all) to say what he’s a fan of or why.

“I understand what you mean, however,” he adds on, expression beginning to smooth out. “It would, after all, be incredibly gratifying if there were an outcome that pleased both sides, once all is said and done. If there were a way to let bygones be bygones, if my lady would.”

He’s sure many other gods would not be willing, though. Lady Bau already seems to be a bit unsure of her own hope, or at least something similar, however, so Hermes refrains from saying so. Saying so in full, at least.

“The pain, I think, is just a little too much to bear for some, and no doubt will be as more contestants are revealed. Perhaps for now, it’d be better to hope that we all can come to accept whatever happens.”

If they don’t...well, there’s already a handful who are straining to hold themselves back. Hermes really does not want to clean up that sort of mess, should they no longer be able to.

Bau was so ready to change the topic to anything, literally anything besides her failed love life, that the weight of the topic didn't cross her mind until now. When suddenly she remembered the death of Poseidon. She was in the stands at the time. She caught a glimpse of the anger in Zeus' eyes. A God, killed by a mortal. Before this tournament, she didn't think the feat was possible.

If anyone would have told her that would happen in the future, she would have laughed and thought they had gone mad. So this was a revenge match? She was certain her neutral stance was being frowned upon even further with this current line-up.

"...True. With how the humans have been doing with the Valkyries help, it's hard to tell. And revenge can make you blind in rage." she replied in a soft tone and turned her head towards the ground, "But it should be an interesting match to be sure. Especially with the current score."

It made her think of the final outcome of all this. Either humanity would end up destroyed or they would continue to live. But those who died in this tournament, they would stay that way. Gone. Lost. If the humans won, the Gods who lost loved ones would stew in anger.

"Let's just hope by the end of this, everyone can be satisfied." She couldn't help but want to laugh at her hope. For no one was going to be completely satisfied, not with the losses they suffered. What if someone she knew chose to fight? What if she saw the golden haired boy from before in the tournament? How would she feel?
