"Really? He insists he's grown out of it, but I never really believed him."
Hermes chuckles into Achilles' neck. Just as Hermes will always be a baby to Apollo and Athena, Dionysus will always be a baby to him. He'll have to do a lot to make everything up to his baby brother, if not for Dionysus' temper then for his own conscience.
He pulls away from Achilles a little to see what he's tapping, and he smiles. The smile is a little sheepish, but also a little sad.
"I wanted to keep you close." Hermes touches one particular charm on the necklace. It sits on the edge of his collarbone and looks no different from the others, but clearly it's different to him. "And I'm not exactly delivering many messages with my bag right now."
Hermes rubs his thumb against the charm. "I hear you, you know. When you pray to me. I can't respond without my uncle noticing, but I hear you."
