Fiery changes

Hermes of course ended up leaving in a bad mood after I flat out ripped off the mask he was wearing to cover his true nature and thoughts. I didn't care however as the god was little better than a snake that was waiting to sink it's poisoned fangs into you. Perhaps his intentions were good in general but he was far too willing to cross lines he shouldn't to achieve his end goals. The less such a person knew about my abilities the better in my opinion.-

The best part though was that I knew for a fact Freya was breathing down the messager gods neck to keep him in check and from making plays involving my familia in the shadows. How did I know this? Because I had asked her to do so once it became clear Hermes wasn't going to leave it well enough alone. Despite technically being a mere delivery familia on the surface the Hermes familia was easily one of the most influential familia's in Orario and the wider world as well with more than a little blackmail on many powerful people.-

I wasn't stupid enough to antagonize such an entity without having the backing needed to keep it from crushing me like a bug. Freya was more than happy to take that position which even if it wasn't explicitly stated also made my familia something to keep a healthy relationship with for even the Hermes familia out of caution. Anyways Hephaestus's visit was pleasant enough even if a little awkward as she tried and failed miserably at flirting. I mean like E for effort but clearly romance was NOT her strong suit. I admit I also probably frustrated her to no end as despite having an army of people wanting to hook up with her she had to choose one person who wasn't really interested.-

Like I get WHY she was trying to hook up with me since it was sorta public knowledge but basically she had decided that she would only hook up with a craftsman that managed to impress her. My cursed technique DEFINITELY qualified and that was pretty much the whole reason she was trying to snag me for herself. It was a weird fucking way to decide a partner in my opinion but who am I to judge?-

It also wasn't like I was TOTALLY averse to the idea either as she was so my type. She was hot, easy to understand for me and smart, the whole package. My reluctance however came in the form of her not wanting to play by catch and release rules but rather for keeps. If she was going to get me she wanted to make sure I knew that that was it, I was spoken for afterwards. I wasn't really interested in that level of commitment at this point unfortunately. I might be okay with it later when my leveling slowed to a crawl due to the amount of power I had making it difficult to find a challenge but for now I wasn't going to give in to her attempts at attraction.-

"All magic is unfair, some are just more so then others." I said sagely.

"Said the man that spent three days eating dirt just to hover a foot off the ground." she said with rolled eyes.

"Not my best moment I admit but to be fair I can't be blamed. I mean come on don't tell me that you wouldn't try to fly if you thought you could." I said and she reluctantly nodded.
