A little lie not meant to convince, but to 𝒄𝒐𝒂𝒙. Charon is right, after all. There were several reasons as to why the drink of revelry was kept away from Hermes’ satchel when he was on the job—𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑔𝑜𝑑𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝘩𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑚𝑢𝑐𝘩.
( Well. Perhaps every god except 𝑫𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒚𝒔𝒖𝒔, arguably. He didn’t earn his title for nothing, and it’d be wrong to take away what’s rightfully his! )

“ Oh! not at all, I have plenty!~ ” they wouldn’t pass it up, any chance they had whether it was unintentional or served to them on a silver platter. Hand jokes... hand puns... the works, the absolute pits. It tickled them, this humor that would forever be apart of them ( at least until they shed their physical form ) the godling let out a sharp and short cackle before covering their mouth realizing how ugly they sounded. But still the smile on their face was beaming. Dawa looked up at the other, straining their neck as if to reach a similar height so far off. “ But don’t look so glum! Lets see... have you ever tried sculpting before? There’s mostly rock down here, hard stone ... I’d love to have some clay, some malleable material to get messy with. I suppose I could chisel away but ... i never really learned that medium before! Are you an artistic type? You seem, poetic to me~ ”
