Hermes would be the last person to deny his family's flaws. But they're hardly a monolith; Hermes has never been one to hold a grudge, Artemis has never been one too enamored with worship, and Dionysus is rarely in ill humor. But it's Hermes here now, and Hermes has no desire to spite his youngest cousin.
(If anything, it might be nice to have him as family.)
Hermes watches on pleasantly as Zagreus works through his thought process, then smiles with a little bow of the head as Zagreus thanks him and eats the apple down to the seed. "No trouble at all--well, actually, lots of trouble, especially if we're ever found out, but I'm happy to do it for you, Coz."
If Hera finds out and throws a fit, Hermes will just have to hide in Charon's boat for a while. It'd be like a slumber party, if a slumber party meant having a vengeful goddess out for his blood.
"So you should have some time, I think. Enough time to go have a lovely day and night with a certain someone you've been looking for." Hermes shrugs, feigning fond indifference. "Or... perhaps you could have that after a quick jaunt around the surface? See the sights? I could show you around."
