— I doubt I’ll be able to talk you into looking for office supplies
-- You're right. That does seem unlikely.
— but I was thinking maybe we could look for a nice gift! For Hephaestus.
And also possibly for Eros. He seems offended someone else threw a party
-- Oh that poor dear
-- How DARE they?
— the nerve of some people
— but also. Focus.
-- I am very focused!
— present for Hephaestus
-- Do you think he wants a golden apple that will start a land war in the Near East?
-- He does make weapons?
-- I hate to regift
— who gave you the golden apple?
-- Paris of Troy
-- Well that's... nice? I guess?
-- It's fine, I guess. What do you do with a golden apple, really?
-- Look at it.
-- I feel like that's the entire depth of it. You're pretty to look at. That's what people know about you. So they give you things that are pretty to look at.
-- And people think I'm the shallow one.
-- people aren't very smart
-- Not typically, no.
— but! We are. So we can find good presents!
-- But not an apple
— at least not that apple.
-- So you think he does want an apple
— did you want an apple?
-- Only because everyone else wanted it
— that’s weird
-- It was a different time.
-- a different, boring time
