Elle: *sitting on the kitchen counter, drinking a mango shake*

Athena: *mixing cookie dough across the room*

Hermes: *making more shake in the blender*

Elle: You know how Hermes once dated Dite?

Athena and Hermes: *stiffen*

Athena: *clears her throat* Yeah, and what about it?

Hermes: *glances at Athena* It wasn't dating.

Athena: *raises an eyebrow* Then what was it to you?

Hermes: It was a fling and it meant nothing more than that.

Athena: Then why did you keep it a secret from me for years?

Hermes: We've talked about this.

Athena: No, actually, we didn't. You didn't have the guts to tell me and I had to hear from Apollo!

Hermes: I know, and I'm sorry—

Athena: *huffs and looks at Elle* Elle, what's this about?

Elle: My friend DemigodofCrops wanted to know how you feel about that.

Athena: *clicks her tongue* Well, at least you know how I feel. I don't care!

Elle: *mutters under her breath* Doesn't seem like it.

Athena: *glares at him* You told me I never had to worry about her. Nothing happened between you two, you said. But of course, I should have known that nobody can resist beautiful little Aphrodite, right?

Hermes: *furrows his eyebrows* Athena, this was years ago. Please —

Athena: Go ahead! Do it again, I could care less! *leaves*

Hermes: *lets out a sigh*

Elle: *blinks* Wait, why does it seem like she just recently found out?

Hermes: It slipped out from Apollo a few weeks ago when we were drunk at Dionysus' party.

Elle: A few weeks ago? But... didn't you two hook up like thousands of years ago?

Hermes: *gives her a sheepish look*

Elle: You managed to keep that kind of secret from her for that long?! No wonder she's pissed.
