What: Protection things
When: Wednesday
Where: Thomas' house
Warnings: TBD
Notes: Moved as I am fail made of fail
When Kat had come to work and asked for Hecate's aid in offering one of her friends protection she hadn't really minded. Kat was family, and in Hecate's mind, one did everything for family. As they'd walked to the house, Kat had called Hermes to ask for the favor from him, and Hecate was sure her sometimes husband would arrive in due time. Hecate had made only one request, that this be done during the time when the sun was down, and so it was a little late when they arrived.
As they waited, Hecate asked what she could and frowned when she heard more of Lucifer. It wasn't the first time she wished she was powerful enough to send that one back where he belonged, and to keep him there. She'd taken a seat on the steps and petted Hekuba as she listened to Kat speak of the girl's own new dog. Pleased the girl was looking after one of her sacred animals, she offered what aid she could.
When the door opened Hecate turned to smile to the young mortal, but let Kat walk up first.
"Hey Thomas," Kat offered. "This is my boss. Hecate, Thomas. Oh and that's Hekuba," Kat motioned to the dog.

"Hello," Thomas said, feeling a little overwhelmed. He didn't know if he was supposed to shake her hand or not, but he offered it nonetheless. "Hello, Hekuba! She's gorgeous."

Hecate took the mortal's hand and shook it. "Hello. And of course she is. She's my dear." Hecate smiled proudly as she released the mortal's hands to set her hand on Hekuba's head.
Kat just shook her head as she stepped inside. Hecate was curiously looking around. After a moment Hecate turned to Thomas. "Kat told me why I'm here. If I had the power I'd put that thing back where he belongs. I, unfortunately, don't have the power."
The Titan shrugged and let Hekuba wander around. "But what I can do is offer charms and protection. And wards. I can't keep out angels and demons and their ilk, but I can keep out the Olympians. Well, mostly Zeus and Poseidon. Combined with that, anyone who you do not invite cannot enter this home." Hecate smiled, "for this, I'll need your blood. Not much, I promise. I'll give you a key. Don't lose that. Any questions?"

"I would have dogs if I had a bigger place," Thomas said sadly. "I just wouldn't feel right making them stay in a small apartment like this one with no room to run. Sorry, I'm rambling. Thank you for this. Lucifer hurt my girlfriend and we had an angel do some wards but your protection sounds wonderful. I don't have any questions.
The moment he stopped speaking, Hermes simply walked in. He could do that in an unwarded home, and he didn't seem to see a problem with that. Immediately he walked over to hug his granddaughter. "My beautiful Kat, how are you?"

Kat gave Thomas a look, "Technically not a dog." Hecate just shook her head, "she's immortal, like I am. But I am so pleased that you consider that. Dogs are sacred to me and so few treat them as they ought." She nodded, "I can feel that. Angels aren't very subtle with their magic."
Kat was used to her grandfather, but she knew others weren't. She still hugged him and smiled. "Hi Papou. And well. Relaxing now school is over." She spotted Hecate's smile and the Titan walked to the mortal, "Oh I see. Doesn't say hi to me at all. Olympians." She rolled her eyes, showing she was jesting and extended her hand. "Your hand please Thomas. This will sting"
Kat smiled and dropped her arms, "thanks for doing this Papou. It really means a lot to me. Thomas and Jamie are very dear to me."

"Oh! Sorry, Hekuba!" Thomas smiled at her apologetically before jumping when Hermes just strolled in. He had met the man before once, while visiting Sappho. He doubted the god would remember him though. He just nodded in Hermes' direction and then he offered Hecate his hand. "It's alright, I don't mind."
Hermes chuckled at his sometimes wife. "I thought you might be busy! Is this Thomas or Jamie?"
"I'm Thomas," he spoke up. "And I'd shake your hand, but it's busy. Still, thank you so much for this." To which Hermes simply nodded.

Hecate just smirked, "never too busy for you." She took Thomas hand and with a swift cut sliced open the mortal's palms. She collected the blood she'd need before releasing Thomas' hand. "That should suffice."
Kat went to take Thomas unhurt arm, "here lets get you some bandaids and get out of the way."
Kat only winced as Hecate started to carve the symbols into the frame of the door. "Yeah, sorry." Kat offered. "She kind of ruins deposits when she does this."

The cut did sting, but he got through it with nothing more than a slight twinge. "Eh, I think I already ruined the deposit when I slammed my big head into the wall behind the treadmill," he said with a shrug as he followed Kat. "Being safe is more important anyway."
Hermes went to stand beside Hecate and he kissed her temple. "Tell me if you need me," he offered.

Kat lead Thomas into the bathroom so she could help him get the wound clean, "I know. Still, they won't really think of it to apologize so I will. My crazy family."
Hecate smirked at the offer. "Oh now that's too easy. For shame Hermes, you are losing your touch." She grinned then before motioning for him to get on the threshold of the door. "Stand there love. Makes for a very effective lock."

Thomas pointed to the first aid kit and then he smiled up at her as he took a seat on the bathtub. "Well thank you, Kat. I really do appreciate this."
Hermes did as Hecate asked him, though he smirked back at her. "I could never lose my touch!"

Kat took the kit and opened it before seeing to the cut. She'd done this before. "Of course. Is Jamie very mad at me, or haven't you told him about me knowing yet?"
"This is true," Hecate grinned as she worked, humming the magic under her breath. She'd done this enough to be alright with the distraction. "I heard your father's back. Is he going to behave or must I remind him of his place again?"

"I haven't told him, but I don't think he'll be mad at you, Kat. He loves you," Thomas soothed her. "He wasn't mad at me for never saying a word. I think mostly he's still trying to come to terms with it."
"He's behaving for the moment," Hermes said, his smile fading. "Time will tell."

KAt smiled to that, "I know. I just worry. He's my best friend. And I'll help where I can. I'll drop by and talk to him."
Hecate offered a soothing smile, "well tell him I'm doing very well, what with Medea here." Smiling she kissed Hermes before continuing. When the marks were done she drew back from the door.
She closed her eyes and held her hands in front of her. With almost an audible sound the magic slid into place and when her eyes opened she held a dark key in her hands. "This is getting easier." She smiled "I like this one. I kind of want to keep him, like a little duckling."

"I think he'll appreciate that a lot," Thomas said as she cleaned his palm up. "I worry about him. He knows I've been stressed out about Lena so I'm concerned he won't talk to me because he feels like I'm already at my wit's end."
Hermes raised his eyebrows to that. "I'll tell Zeus to behave. You want to keep the mortal as a pet? Kat may let you."

She bandaged the cut up and frowned, "might be. Might be that he's worried if he stresses you out too much he'll trigger one of your symptoms. I'll talk to him."
Hecate laughed to that, "hm I somehow doubt that. But ducklings are only entertaining so long. Anyway go do your thing. Give them more security. I'll repay you for the efforts." She winked to that before finding Kat, then handing the key to Thomas. "Here you are. No need to keep it on you, just put it somewhere and don't lose it."

"Oh, Jamie," Thomas said sadly. "I wish he didn't have to worry about that. Thank you, Kat."
Hermes grinned at the idea of repayment and he set about creating yet more wards to keep the apartment safe.
Thomas glanced up at Hecate and he accepted the key gratefully. "Thank you so much. It's a honour to have you in my home, and I am very grateful for your help. Can I get you anything?"

"He's so polite," Hecate gave with a smile, "like a duckling. I could keep you." She laughed at Kat's expression. "Oh, I won't. Mortals are so finnicky. And something to eat, perhaps? Magic makes me hungry."
Kat just sighed as Hecate wandered out, "sorry. Sorry. She won't actually do that."

Thomas raised his eyebrows in slight alarm, but was soothed when Kat said Hecate wouldn't really keep him as a pet. "Right...good," he said, standing to go make some food. "Well I could come visit!" he offered cheerfully.

Hecate smiled at the offered, "I would appreciate that." With a smile she leaned down to pet Hekuba, "some for her too, if you would be so kind."

"Of course," Thomas nodded and he headed to the fridge. "We have quite a lot of chicken. I roasted it and then we sort of forgot to eat it." He turned to both Hermes and Hecate. "Do you prefer Greek food, I could make something Mediterranean if you'd like."

She shrugged, "It's sweet of you to ask but I have no preference." With that Hecate sat down and said something in Greek to Kat who just groaned and set her head in her hand.
Kat sighed at Thomas, "You're cute, apparently. She wants to know if you share and please don't answer that. Things I never need to know."

Hermes snorted and he went to sit with his sometimes wife, amused by the question. As he would be, of course.
Thomas just blinked, startled. "U-uhm." After being single and lonely for most of three decades, now apparently he was wanted by both burlesque dancers and Titans? That might have made him feel good if he weren't so shocked by it. "I-I don't think- I'm just going to make some gyros," he mumbled, turning bright red and refusing to look at Kat.

Hecate laughed to that and leaned against Hermes, "look, he's so cute. The things we could do." Kat only sighed to that, ""Things I never need to know, still here thanks." Kat was all too aware of what her grandparents got up to, she just didn't want to ever hear details.
"Hecate just smiled and ruffled the girl's hair, "no worry little one we won't shock you."
