“Can I sit here?” Odette calmly repeated her question, book in hand, coffee in another. It seemed like it was going to be a good day and she wanted to relax outside, do some reading before she had to go back to work. “I don’t see a lot of other places open, sorry.” 

“But I’m sitting here...” Nikos mumbled before scooting over. He only ever shared with Po and even then it was reluctantly. “Why are you sorry? Did you force them all to hold every other bench hostage?” He shook his head before catching sight of her book. “What are you reading? Anything good?”

Olafr was napping, her neighbor keeping an eye on him, while she went on a search for a toy he had left… somewhere in town.  She’d been retracing their steps, and had found her way to the park bench they’d done some reading at.  Right beneath Nikos’ feet was the toy she’d been searching for.  She tried to get Nikos’ attention, but it took a few times for him to look up at him.  “Would you mind handing me the toy at your feet?”

It took Nikos a minute to follow what she was saying at him, but eventually he bent down and retrieved the toy. “Curious thing,” Nikos hummed as he looked over the small red truck. “Is it yours?” He asked as he continued his examination. “Doesn’t look like you’d fit in it.” Nikos concluded as he offered it to her.

“Because that’s how you start a conversation,” she explained, as though it wasn’t a weird question at all. “You might follow it up with something like, ‘This is lovely weather we’re having.’ or 'That’s a nice jacket.’ Except you’re not wearing a jacket, so maybe not that one.”

Nikos gave one singular nod of understanding. He wasn’t good at the whole conversation thing. “I’m not sure that it is lovely. It isn’t raining nor is it cold, so I suppose it is acceptable.” He shrugged. “But alright, I don’t like your shirt... and your hair is too muddy in color. Your nose is fine though, small and unnoticeable.”

Dorothy had been sitting on the bench next to him, her legs crossed yoga style, and waiting for him to notice her, but it turned out she wasn’t very patient. Probably not even a whole minute had passed before she was compelled to break the silence. “Nothing.” She shrugged. “I just said hello.”

It probably was a minute, maybe even two, Nikos wasn’t observant or that keen on socializing. “Oh... why?” Nikos asked perplexed as to what she could want. A simple conversation with him didn’t seem plausible to Nikos. “I suppose hello back.”

Nikos was sitting on a bench trying his hardest to ignore everyone and everything when someone approached him. “What?” He asked not catching what they had said.

Nikos: Can’t go into details, also I don’t want to, but I need a damsel in distress and thought of you. I’ll give you something shiny I found the other day.

“Have you seen this man?” Lottie asked, showing a picture of Richard.  She hadn’t heard from him in far too long, and after coming to the conclusion that she was far too amazing to just disappear from her life, something must have happened to him.  She was on her way to the police station to finally submit a missing persons report, but figured a little ground work wouldn’t hurt.  Maybe someone had seen Richard.

[somebodycall-ix-i-i]

Nikos was leaning up against a building enjoying his break from work when suddenly he was having a picture of Richard thrust at him. Nikos sized up the blonde as he took a drag from his cigarette. “Maybe.” He shrugged. “Are you a scorned woman?”

“Purely non-denominational, but likely leaning toward Christian since I already used the C-word,” she decided.  This was probably the only real interaction she would have for the day, as she was buried in paperwork, so she decided to just roll with it.  She looked hesitantly at his cup, but she couldn’t tell what was in it.   “Why?” 

“Any elves?” He perked up slightly. He met one once upon a errand for Hades, very skittish creatures. “It’s cold tea that tastes vaguely of weeds.”

It was a slow realization that he was talking about Greece a long time ago, as in ancient. If he hadn’t known Percy, he probably wouldn’t have put it together. “I think most places have that now.”

Nikos shrugged. “Some people take longer than others with learning things.”

Calcifer was sipping on their drink, fascinated by the people in The Underworld. Though they were disappointed not able to drag Maia out with them this time. Overhearing the person next to them, they glanced over, raising an eyebrow. “Did you get stood up or something?” They asked, shaking their head, “Tough break, buddy.” 

Nikos was technically supposed to be fixing the water heater (again), but as Po would say what Hades didn’t know didn’t hurt him. “No, that would imply that I agreed to a human date.” He rolled his eyes. “I’m waiting for my brother to return.”

It was really just a quick dash down the street to the coffee shop, but it was a necessary one.  She had settled into her job fairly well, but it took more energy than even she had on some days.  It was hard to rally at times, and today was one of them.  And, of course, the cinnamon had been an extra generous pour, so she didn’t know if it would help or not.  

Also, her rush to get back didn’t prevent her from noticing the sad looking guy sitting at a window, staring up the street.  There weren’t a lot of options for what he could be looking at, but enough she couldn’t say for sure what he was doing.  

“Are you, by chance, looking for Christmas?  I think it might be in my cup,” she teased lightly, hoping it was a gentle enough joke to break the ice so she could actually check on him.  “We could trade.”

Nikos looked over at the brunette and quirked an eyebrow at her. “Which one? The pagan or the christian?” He knew the likelihood that either was actually in her cup was practically nonexistent though not impossible. Nikos stared down at his cold cup of chamomile, a drink the barista swore would being calming, and wrinkle his nose. “That’s just a poor decision on your end.”

[somebodycall-ix-i-i]

Nikos was always extra nervous when Po went out on a errand for Hades alone. The idiot was probably accidentally causing some sort of catastrophe that Nikos would get blamed for. “Where are you...” he mumbled to himself through his teeth as he stared out a nearby window in the direction of the the town hall.

Meg chuckled at his candor.  It wasn’t like she knew what else to do with the insult. She wasn’t even sure how insulting it actually was.  

It was almost not even worth arguing over the appearance of being jealous.  She just shook her head.  “If you say so,” she disagreed, but without its usual force.  “Have you thought about wearing gloves of some kind?” 

“Fabric and ash don’t go well together and I’m too fond of cigarettes. They’re calming and remind me of home.”

His eyes followed the stranger around him. He was beginning to feel like a spectacle in a show, and not in the friendly, interesting way. His eyebrows pressed together and he shook his head, trying to will something of a memory into view. As far as he’d been aware, his history only started five minutes ago, face pressed into the dirt with the glowing border of town to his right. He’d thought about walking away from it and heading off into the wilderness, but something had drawn him back. “I… don’t know. The ground?”

Nikos let out a small laugh as he shook his head. “Oh, oh this is too good.” He smirked. “You really, and I mean really pissed off someone. Was it a God? Tell me you talked to Hades, oh or Zeus. Clearly it wasn’t Hera since you’re still breathing, but it was someone.” Nikos tapped his chin before shrugging. “If you ever find out do tell me, I’ll buy you a cup of coffee as you spill the beans.” He snickered at his use of a pun, his book on comedy was paying off. “I would offer you my place to stay till you figure it out, but I don’t want to. Also you’d get in a lot trouble. Too many things for you to get your hands on.”
