Grecian Urn...

He had, through the grape vine, learned that first Andy and now Hedy was on the mount. Generally he would have been the first to find the kid, give him a noogie, and jested...

But then again, Hermes was generally more lively than he had been lately. There was a talk with Apollo, as brief as he could make it, about why his brother had been doing as he had done. It had, really, accomplished nothing but make the messenger moodier than he was, but at least he had tried. And for a moment he had considered dropping in to poke fun at Ares, only to discard the idea.

There was plenty of time to poke fun later. In more healthy manners.

So he was in Dite's temple, smiling at the attendants as he walked in and asked that one of them tell Dite he was there before he started off to find Hedy. And of course, what he found was a sleeping child.

Smiling, he found a place to sit and watch...

And relax

"He lost his words? Did you look under the bed?"

She gave both her brothers a disbeleaving look, and led them both to a fountain in the opposite direction that Morpheus and Lethe had wandered.

"Hedy... you're such a dork. Are you sure you're an erote? There's obviously something there that's not for us to see."

She took a seat on the side of the fountain and drew her legs up under her, looking at them both as she reached her hands in the water.

"So...other than the obvious. how's things? And seriously, Andy... What was that look for?"

"Well, I'd be honored for any visit... just tell me to write myself a note, and I remember better that way..."

She looked up as Andy noted his sister, and smiled in her direction, expression freezing a bit as she saw who Harmonia was with...

Morpheus. The idea that he'd be on the mountain hadn't even occured to her. It was good to see him... but weird. And she felt a sudden rise of guilt and trepidation as memories, fresh like they were just last week thanks to Mnemosyne, all came rushing to the surface.

"Oh."

She couldn't imagine she was top on his list of people to run into, considering how horrid she'd been to him. Not that it had been her fault, or really a choice. She looked back at Hedy and Andy, and smiled again.

"Your sister may have a better idea of what's going on. You may want to talk to her."

He couldn't believe Hedylogos hadn't went this long before, the course of a few days, without copulating. Really.

Lethe on the other hand was going in the other direction. Months or years? Really. There were ways of getting around that. Maybe she just didn't remember?

It wasn't fair that she wouldn't remember the conversation."But why? Why do you have to forget? How do you ever love someone if you don't remember their face or name?"

Because everyone in his opinion deserved the chance to fall in love, even if it was just puppy love.

Something was wrong.

Something was CLEARLY wrong.

He hadn't been laid in two days. TWO DAYS. That was a veritable dry spell for him. Nothing he said worked on ANYONE! This had to stop!

Spotting a sexy brunette making eyes at him from across the party he was attending, Hedylogos made his way across the room, giving her a beautiful smile as he approached.

"Well, hello there."

"Hi." Oh, wasn't that cute, she blushed a little at his attention. This was going to be cake.

"I'm Hedy, and I want to see your lips wrapped around my cock."

The drink left her glass so fast he didn't even see it coming and he stood there dripping, mouth wide open as she stalked away with a disgusted look on her face.

Oh. My. Gods.

I'm BROKEN!

Quickly he left the party and transported straight to Olympus and to his fathers home. He would know what was wrong!

"Daddy? Are you home? I'm BROKEN!" His voice echoed around the temple hall and the break in it could be clearly heard.
