"The soup should be ready," Victor told Kat as he helped Hermes back to the living room. "If you want to get that, I'll grab the first aid kit and some clothes."
Hermes didn't mention he had another stop to make before he went to see Peitho and Hecate. He didn't know how Kat would react if she knew he intended to go to Philadelphia and see Erica. Especially in his condition. He would accept the cab, and then just pay the driver a lot of money to take him to Erica's house instead. "Peitho wouldn't appreciate me besmirching her doorstep, no," Hermes said, still sounding weak. "Just don't go to any trouble."
"It's no trouble at all," Victor assured Hermes, and then he ducked into the bedroom to fetch some clothes.
