I was thinking about your scion headcanons and thought of an Hermes kid with Peitho -the goddess of persuasion being with a trickster sounds kinda interesting- and then I found out that Peitho is (sometimes) married to Hermes

And that folks, is how god marriages works lol. Humanity pairs gods together depending on their domain and how often they interact. Like Love and War, Beauty being the inspiration and being in craftsmanship.

Cause you have to remember anon, the gods are concepts that humanity tacked on based on their own culture and society, rather then actual people. They're a reflection of the values, ideas, and life of a civilization that worshiped them.

Besides, I already answered an ask about a Hephaestus having a kid with a legacy of Aphrodite > [Link 1] || [Link 2]

So the goddess of Persuasion being 'married' to the God of Tricksters sounds about right, cause tricksters often have to persuade people. (i.e. Tricksters are not just mischievous or those who wanted to pull scams on people, as tricksters are also known for being smart so being a little bit of a trickster is a good character like Heracles did with Atlas to trick him into giving back the sky)

Also it could still happen honestly and frankly not the worst thing Greek gods have done either. It's not like the Hermes kid is Peithos kid either, if anything Peithos may be attracted to the Hermes demigod because they remind her of Hermes so much which is flattering. So a scion of being born from a Hermes' demigod and the goddess of Persuasion would made Chiron's hair turn grayer faster. Can you imagine the sheer chaos that could happen?

Red offering one of his rings as a token of affection: "I got a skele-ton of these things, so it'd really help me out if you could take one off my hands."

PEITHO (Πειθώ) was the goddess or spirit (daimona) of persuasion, seduction and charming speech. In combination with force (bia) she also represented forceful inducement and rape (including bridal abduction). Peitho was a close companion of the goddess Aphrodite.

Pietho was usually depicted as a woman with her hand lifted in persuasion or fleeing from the scene of a rape. Her attributes sometimes included a white dove and ball of binding twine.
