if there's any other way, i'll do anything for you

The thing to do when one has a mopey god on one's couch is to make toast and tea.  Because Liz has vague memories of this being a comfort thing when she was very small and fluish

Toast and jam is an excellent thing and it's made even better with hair-ruffling.

"Thanks, Liz. Sorry for taking over your couch for so long, but, uh, you know." Yes, Liz, if you can understand his strange, interpretive hand-waving dance you do indeed know.

"He moved out months ago. He lives with those stupid spandex people in some mountain or whatever. We've been allowed 'visits' on weekends."

This is bullshit of the highest order, ma'am. B|

>:(!! Clearly it is. Such so that we must use angry little faces instead of words, for mere words are insufficient. "I'm out of touch with things." To put it mildly, although that is less her fault than her typist's. Let's say it was...the frogs. They're blameable for anything.

"Anyway, keeping busy sounds like a good start. Maybe you should...see other people? I don't know what people do in these circumstances."

"So am I." Now is the time to wriggle about and brush/braid Liz's hair. Yes it's odd, but he's a deity, amuse him!

"I've got lots of work and, well, there's the whole fallout from the Battle Royale thing to deal with, reworking the wards, making sure it's strong enough. I can do busy."

"...I dunno about doing people though. It's been a while."

"Well, a lot of people love you." Mmmmm hairbrushing. That is fantastic, sir. Liz does a little catwriggle. "You don't need to date anybody or anything, but affection would probably be good." Affection is important! Liz has managed to very slowly learn this.

"I like affection. It's all warm and squishy, but not like vaseline in your boots. That's the 'bad touch' sort of affection." Did that even make sense? Was it supposed to? Is Hermes just a odd little gigglebeast?

Find out next week on Veterinarian's Hospital.

"Yes." She looks at him very seriously before finally giggling, despite what the icon might suggest, because this typist hasn't gotten around to re-paying this account yet. "So spend time with all and sundry. It goes along with keeping busy, I think."

[mercurialnature]

"I can do that. I'm a god of all sorts of useful talents. I might even take up Loki's offer to to Vegas. They have seafood buffet there, Liz."

"Sea. Food. Buffet."

The ways of gods are mysterious, indeed.
