Hephaethus wasn’t the type to ignore a greeting. Today, however, he was preoccupied with the headphones. Hephaethus whistled to himself as he walked along. It wasn’t until the other tapped on his shoulder that he took off an ear bud.
“It’s Jenna, correct?” He asked once more. His memory was fading.
@oflostchances
Hephaethus let himself have one cup of beer that night. He wasn’t angry more than tired. The fire god has been feeling that a lot lately. The more of his family came the more exhausted he felt after. He was just grateful to be the few patrons tonight. Hephaethus lazily turned to the newcomer.
“You should try the beer-it has an interesting flavor.”
@ofhellworld
"Maybe I should get a new pair but I’m fond of these pants.” He muttered to himself. The fire god stood in front of coin bleu ; he only knew the place did alterations and sold some items. Hephaethus took a deep breath. “Just say hello and ask for help.” Thats all he needed to do. The fire god slowly entered the door.
“Hello?”
@criadne
ofidyllic:
“A huge… pillow?” Frankly? Theseus wouldn’t mind it. A huge pillow sounded quite amazing at the moment. So, deciding to take a chance, he said. “I’ll take it. Yeah.”
“Yes a huge pillow.” Hephaethus deadpanned. He clapped his hands. “Excellent! I shall get you the pillow.” He went into his shop and retrieved a pillow with kittens on it. “Here you go!”
youthskeeper:
she lets out a breathy laugh, nodding slightly ( but with just enough pride to show she truly does enjoy this line of work ). “ you putting it like that puts a lot of pressure, ” she jokes. “ i don’t want to be responsible for teaching them the wrong things. ” despite the smile on her face, it’s honest. she frowns slightly at his remark. “ what? of course it is. ” her hand reaches and grips gently at his arm, reassuringly. “ you’re my dear brother, hephaestus. and it is very good to see you too. ” another smile, smaller, but more sincere. “ no, it’s fine. just for us to talk for a bit? i hope you’re not busy. ”
He shrugged. “Teenagers are a different breed of human with their stature and teenage slang.” Hephaethus nodded. “Just teach them science-the rest of the subjects come naturally.” Hephaethus let himself blush. “Thank you.” He said sincerely flattered. He looked around. “No one has came into my shop so I have time.” He opened the door. “Come inside.”
aregentsruin:
“ the world spins because its inhabitants are so proficient in the art of appearing to be something other than their genuine selves. ” wolves in sheep’s clothing. he managed to get around so well specifically because he knew how to do pleasantries just well enough. “ well, ” a shrug, “ let’s just say i’ve got a temper with a mind of its own and a long list of motives to set it ablaze. ”
“What if the world isn’t ready for genuine people? Sometimes you need to who you are?” Hephaethus replied matter of fact. He doesnt see his own identity as deception but protection from those who could hurt them. Hephethus looked at the other. “Why would you think that is a bad thing?” He asked. “I have set things aflame quite a lot in my lifetime.”
ofidyllic:
“I find it comfortable.” Especially compared to his own time period when the beds were far less of any appeal. “I have no idea what a futon is.”
“Whatever you say.” Hephaethus said rolling his eyes. This kid was weird and he wasnt going to question it. “It’s like a pillow but bigger?” He said. “I can get you one if you want?” Hephaethus offered the tired boy.
ofidyllic:
“yeah, i’m trying to SLEEP.” it was a crappy blanket, and it wasn’t really a BED per say but S T I L L. theseus was tired.
“You are trying to sleep on that measly thing.” Hephaethus clicked his tongue at the demi god. He crossed his arms. “I can get you a futon if you like.”
bxckfromthedead:
Of course she giggled at his compliment. “Oh, hush.” She waved her hand dismissively at him.
“Well, I hope you don’t think this is out of line but I think you’re quite attractive. As for nimble, well, that I can’t speak to.” The blush never left her face. She studied him for a moment as she considered his last statement.
“I do that too, sometimes. I mean, being too hard on myself. It’s a lot of energy. You should give yourself a break.” Piper advised him. Not that he’d asked for it but she couldn’t help herself when it came to giving unwanted advice.
“You’re very kind.” He said sincerely, the blush not leaving his face. “It’s hard to find people like you around here.” Hephaethus admitted with a shy smile.
It almost shocked him to hear that.”Why would someone like you think that?” He really found her as beautiful as Aphrodite. He shrugged. “I promise I will do better for myself.” He looked at the hands on the clock. They were finally crafted to perfection. He gave a smile.
“What do you think of the repair so far?” Hephaethus asked gesturing the other to come over.
aregentsruin:
oh, blimey. he just walked in on a pity party, didn’t he? this could either become really intriguing or boring and annoying. either way, it’s his own fault for approaching the topic. “ mate, it would appear that all i do is have emotional episodes, ” he says it through a laugh, a laugh at the irony of it all. “ granted, i express it differently, though much more worthy of disapproval. ”
Hephaaethus raised his eyebrow at that. “But you seem so well composed.” Hephaethus said matter of fact. He paused for a moment. Should he really be asking this man these questions. “Why would one disapprove of your actions?” He asked.
youthskeeper:
on second thought, she may have allowed excitement to best her. it tends to happen when you go so long without the comfort and the familiarity of any faces other than strangers’. she pulls back, just to give him some space, but her beaming smile does not falter. “ i’m a teacher. it’s what i’ve been doing since i— ” since i was lost in the sea, eons ago. torn from heracles. she blinks the memory ( and its melancholy away ) and breathes out, still unable to quench the enthusiasm. “ i was sent to a school here. but i’m starting to think there was more to that. to find you here, brother, after all this time. it can only be fate smiling down on me again. ”
“A teacher.”Hephaethus reasched. “So you are teaching the youth of today.” Hephaethus gave a nod approval.The god couldn’t help but blush. “I wouldn’t exactly call finding me a stroke of luck.” His other family members would argue otherwise. “But it is good to see you sister.” He looked at her. “Is there something I could get ou?” He asked.
Greek mythology from A to Z:
[H] - Hephaestus (Ἥφαιστος) is the god of blacksmiths and fire. Called “the celestial artificer,” he was also associated with other craftsmen (sculptors, carpenters, metalworkers).
fvckzevs:
“ if one more person asks to see my credentials, or suggests i’m too young to have any insight on the human body, i’m going to leave this species to their own devices and take the gift of fertility elsewhere. “
“But you look incredibly young!” He crouched down to the other’s height. Hephaethus nearly gasped. “Mother?!?” He exclaimed. “What are you doing here?” He really was shocked by her prescence.
humanartemis:
Artemis knew that it was quick and well, not planned, but she was so happy. She just hoped she could make Liz happy. “Well, she’s beyond beautiful. She glows of goodness and happiness.” She sighed softly. “She is an angel…well…kinda.”
Hephaethus gave a small smile. He was genuinely happy for her. Hephaethus nodded. “She sounds amazing.” He tilted his head at the other. “How is kinda an angel?” He asked confused. “Is she only semi nice?”
bxckfromthedead:
“Well thank you. That’s very nice of you.” Her lips twitched up in a small smile. His compliment made her blush slightly more than before even.
“It’s good to have a passion in life.” She commented. “What do you mean ‘when you appear like me’?” Piper wondered, not understanding exactly what he meant. Did he mean his looks? Piper didn’t see anything wrong with him and he was attractive to her.
“Of course.” Hephaethus said with a goofy grin on his face. :You are very pretty when you smile.” Heph muttered.
Hephaethus paused from his repairs for a moment. “Well, I’ve been the most attractive of my family.” He sighed. “Or the most nimble.” He gave a small smile. “So to make up for it you have to something of value.” He shrugged. Hephaethus looked up. “But lately I’ve realized maybe I have been too hard on myself.”

@rayhepfixthings
“ heph? ” it’s not one of her vivid dreams of the better days, is it? for what feels like forever, hebe was left to her own devices, unaware of family, or friends, or foes. and now, this taste of a very first familiar face truly does make her ELATED. “ heph! ” oh, this time it’s clear. she leaps toward him and, in a burst of pure joy, throws her arms around him in a big embrace. “ oh, brother, it’s you! ”
He was walking slowly towards the park. He wouldn’t know why himself.He heard a voice the first time but dismissed it. It was very familar. “Hebe?” He asked slowly surprised by the hug. He looked at the other. “What brings you here?”

She had waited for a good half an hour for a soup, a soup, and when it arrived it was obvious that it was even close to warm. Looking around, she made sure no one saw her as she placed a hand on the side of her bowl, letting it turn a bright right as the contents of the bowl began to bubble. But when she felt a pair of eyes on her, she quickly gasped and stopped, quickly turning to eye them, panic evident
He usually minded his own business. People watching was tedious some days. Hephaethus only looked up becase of the scent of soup. There was a small smile as tried to investigate. He only sighed when he saw the sight instead. He was dissapointed but not surprised. Hephaethus tilted his head. “Does your bowl self cook?” He asked.
