[Hermes' bread and butter as a spymaster and trickster is knowing how to read people. Heracles is a man of few words, and a man who bristles at vulnerability for good reason. So that makes his actions and body language louder. And despite Hermes' breezy mannerisms, he cares a little too hard about family, especially family born into messes they never asked for.
Hermes' wings relax against his head. He makes a show of flicking one wing a little, as if to put a feather back in place. He's definitely hurting, but he'll feign less pain than he's actually feeling to put his little brother's worries to rest.]
A shake and... oh, what was it? Askion--oh right, just shake, I'll do it. [He holds up a hand, and as the nectar is shaking, he says the phrase M taught him--askion ataski.
The nectar changes color, turning an iridescent rainbow, swirls of color spinning with every motion of the liquid.]
Oh good, good. Would please just pour that on the injury?
[ There still is no bite in his words. But he readily takes the bottle. Another small sigh as he kneels down to carefully pour the concoction over the injury. Could Hermes actually die? He's a god - so probably not. But the rules they've all been playing by have started to change.
He hmphs underneath his breath once more. ]
This means you'll be staying out of that pit from now on, right? Gonna leave that to our sister to deal with? I'm not gonna be nice and help you out more than once, you know.
[ It's all grumbling; it's all for show. He'll help him out again if asked, because he's helped him out more times than he can count. ]
