Hermes: *walks into the balcony and stops in his tracks* Oh... Am I, uh... interrupting you two?

Athena and Poseidon: *turn to look at him*

Poseidon: No, of course not! Can you take a seat too? Come on, join us. I - we would love some company.

Athena: *sighs and makes room for Hermes on her bench* Come here.

Hermes: *sits down beside her*

Athena: *waves her hand and summons a bunch of food*

Poseidon: *looks around* Well, this is fancy.

Hermes: *gives Athena a look*

Athena: *nods at him and smiles*

Poseidon: *takes a bite out of a bunch of food* It tastes good!

Athena: It does, doesn't it?

Poseidon: Did you cook all of these, Athena?

Athena: Yes! Hey, Hermes? Why aren't you eating? I thought you liked seafood.

Poseidon: *chokes* Did you just say seafood?

Hermes: *blinks and stifles a laugh* Athena...

Athena: Tempura tastes good but nothing tops buttered shrimp. We should try other types of cooking other than these usual two. Some kind of soup with shrimp, how does that sound?

Hermes: *grins* Good!

Poseidon: No, not good! Do not eat seaf -

Athena: Oh, I got some squid too. This one's calamari and I also thought I'd try this Filipino dish, which is like adobong pusit, I think.

Poseidon: *covers his mouth and points at it* Is that... its ink?

Athena: Yeah! Mixed with some other ingredients too. I think -

Poseidon: *gasps* Please, stop. I can't handle this.

Hermes: *takes a bite* What do you mean? It tastes good!

Poseidon: *looks at the dishes, scared* What have these monsters done to you? I'm so sorry.

Hermes: *hands the dish towards him* Uncle, try some.

Poseidon: *slaps the plate out of his hands* GET THAT AWAY FROM ME, YOU MONSTERS!

Athena: Well... I mean, if you don't want any of these, I can always whip up some sushi real quick. Who doesn't love sush -

Poseidon: *glowers* HOW DARE YOU?!
