[Is Hermes drunk? Is he just overly confident? Is it a bit of both? Probably both, considering how much alcohol Hythlodaeus has pushed on him the past few days. That said he can't seem to get the red headed miquo'te out of his mind and so, throwing caution to the wind, he decides to send G'raha a message.]
Hello G'raha, it's Hermes. I was wondering, if it isn't to forward of me to ask, if you would be interested in contracting with me?
I am in need of a contract and I fear my time will expire soon. Of course I am more than willing to provide you with whatever it is you need and abide by any conditions you put in place.
With G'raha contracted to Hermes now, it's a gamble on if Hermes will be alone when Hythlodaeus visits now. Thankfully soul sight tells him at a glance who is or isn't there- without even having to enter the room. Today he's going to visit Hermes, but when he checks, the man isn't there. Which is fine- because the miqo'te is, and Hythlodaeus needs to talk to him anyway.
A pleasant talk with no subtle threats or otherwise involved... probably. Knocking on the door, he fixes a smile upon his face before G'raha answers.
Hermes has told G'raha to make himself at home, and so he has--and that includes answering the door for guests. He knows they are likely not there for him, and Hermes is out, so he should let them know as much. Perhaps offer to let Hermes know someone stopped by.
When he opens the door, to his surprise, it is Hythlodaeus. Ah, perhaps that shouldn't be so surprising, though?
"Ah, hello!" G'raha's greeting is cheery and friendly. "If you're here for Hermes, I am afraid he's out. He should be back soon, I'm certain he wouldn't mind you waiting inside if you'd like."
Hythlodaeus always seems to know; it must be some ability he has, though G'raha has not known the man well enough to have an opportunity to ask. Perhaps next time--or on this visit, if they are afforded an opportunity to discuss.
He's going to offer refreshments, which is actually possible now that G'raha has stocked the kitchen with actual food, but Hythlodaeus clearly has an agenda today. At the mention of the contract, G'raha's face warms slightly, but of course Hermes' friend would want to discuss such a thing. So he nods.
"Of course. I assure you, I have no ulterior motives for this." Not that the outlines of the contract for a Submissive would afford anything like that.
Ah... That. Of course it would come up sooner or later. No, his thoughts on Fandaniel are not pleasant. Far from it, honestly, and who could blame him? Hermes himself seems so unlike the man he would become that it is hard to reconcile they are the same person.
"I cannot say I condone anything he did." So many people would die because of him, and though G'raha understands the loneliness, the despair... he can't say he'd ever go down that path.
I have been asked by someone I know if I would be willing to contract with them to help them.
Of course I wish to ask you first if you would be okay with such a thing. Worry not - I am by no means wishing to replace you or dissolve our contract, nor would she live with us, as far as I am aware. It is simply for the legality of it all.
[ When Persephone drops by the 24th to give Hermes his gift, she also drops off carefully wrapped gifts for G'raha and Zagreus. When he opens it he'll find a red scarf with his initials at one end surrounded by sunflowers. ]

I suppose if we were to meet and look over the contract, we might work something out.

The company would be welcome, anyhow.

He shuts the door and studies G'raha for a moment. "It concerns Hermes- and your contract."

Date: 2022-06-25 07:23 pm (UTC)He pauses, trying to get an idea of where to start with what he needs to tell G'raha.
"Alas, you know things that can never come to Hermes' attention. And that is why we must have this conversation."
Still smiling, he continues. "What are your thoughts on Fandaniel?" He can't imagine they're pleasant, but nor would he blame G'raha for that.
