zoe:
“You sure? Because you don’t sound sure.” Zoe could’ve just told Hermes what it was, but this way she got more truth out of him. Let her find out about things she never would’ve otherwise. Truth was, the kid was good at what he did. She admired the tenacity. Not the lying to her.
“ sure... ? ”
he repeated with a gulp. holy shit. this was scarier than his previous gang. at least the adults there just used him as their entertainment and thief. getting beaten’s definitely easier than lying to zoe. trying to act far more confidence than what he actually has, hermes stood tall and repeated his words,
“ yes. sure. ”
