Apollo's cheeks pinkened as he turned his violet eyes to Hermes, "I am not, I....." He sighs, rubbing at his forehead gently, the headache worsening, "I guess I am pretty obvious.... but can you blame me? He's an exquisite-" He stops, suddenly registering Hermes' statement, his eyes suddenly glimmering with something before lettign the light behind them die away, "Hermes.... You must be confused, he has never been with another and I doubt he would lie to me... Who else would be alive to have a claim on him, Jupiter only knows how truly old he is.... I mean, You are surely confusing him with some other mortal."

Sitting in the tub, Endymion sighed, It was much to late to regret his words now...
A meow brought his attention to to the small sleek cat that had just jumped on edge of the bath tub, Serene purred inquisitively. He smiled "Hello Serene, How are you?" The cat rubbed her head on the against the side of his head. Purring loudly.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat later ok sweetie?" remembering his responsablities, Endymion quickly shampooed his hair and rinsed off. Serene looked adoringly up at him as he climbed out and wrapped himself in soft warms towels. She followed him closely back to the bedroom where his shifted through the remaining articles of clothing left to him. Drying himself off, He looked down as Serene brushed up against his bare legs meowing loudly. "Hold on for a moment, I'm not gonna forget you." he picked up the phone and pressed one of the buttons "Uh...hello? Can I have some food brought up here? Yes...Uhm....I don't know...some plain shrimp and a chicken ceaser salad....yes.....thank you."
Serene hopped up on the bed, watching Endymion get dressed in his PJs.
he yawned, he hopped that the food would come soon, it was already late in the night and he was getting tired.
To put off sleep intill the food came Endymion put one of the CDs he brought in the player. "A Lyre at Daybreak" Apollo's rock band, He had heard a few of the songs played in Pandora's box. He turned up the volume....this one particular song drew his attetion

Hermes leaned forward in the chair, and rested his chin in his hand, "He has not been with another, it is true, but he is claimed none the less. I'm actually not surprised you were never told about him after the Orion incident. When I realized who he was I had hoped that that meant Diana had returned to us, but unfortunately it would seem that it wasn't your sister who had awoken him, but another mortal."
He looked saddened, and mildly distressed. He has figured that Diana, of all the gods, would have been able to handle the lonliness of the banishment the best. She was used to being solitary, but it would seem he had been mistaken.

Apollo sinks back in the armchair, his eyes unfocused and not looking at nything anymore, "I thought... I had thought I recognized him...." He shakes his head slightly, his violet eyes looking weary and his whole lanky body letting the tension just seep out into the chair and into the atmosphere around him. He still had no shirt, his pale chest still flecked with blood the scar of the X over his heart a bit redder than usual. He says in a tone of almost hopelessness, barely above a whisper, "I guess I had hoped.... But it makes no sense..... I mean, we both know that Diana would be tha last being on earth subject to hypocrisy yet.... Yet with Ori-..." he couldn't finish the name, but went on, "She wanted me to burn for it... She wanted me to suffer more than anyone else did," His eyes glossed over with ters as he heard faintly his own voice in the next room, thinking about Diana, of the hate that had shone in her eyes so long ago, about the scar she inflicted without mercy, literally ripping his heart from his chest to prove her point while his undying body when on in seizures gasping for some sick sense of life. He bites his lower lip and whispers, "But she.... she had a claim all along... I don't understand.... Why did she..?" He sighs, his head throbbing more and more. He turns his eyes to the door to the bedroom, where Endymion was, whispering, "She didn't want me to have what I needed when I was so utterly alone.... but she was turning to another as well..."

Song from the Player: "I closed my eyes to your lies..."
Endymion was sitting on the bed with Serene in his lap, She was trying to snag his fingers with her claws and teeth. The music blasted loudly enough to take his mind off the resent events.
His stomach growled, realizing that he won't be able to hear the knock at the door He turned down the volume. The cat wiggled lose and perked her ears towards the door. A second later he heard the knock. Jumping off the bed, Dymion eagerly padded barefoot to the front door, casting both Gods an apologetic smile and opening the door to receive his dinner.
Serene had followed him out, she ignored the Gods and meowed hungerly up at Endymion as he took the steamed shrimp from the hotel waiter.

Apollo glances up, watching Endymion enter the room. It struck him forcefully just how innocent he was in this game. He was claimed by Apollo's twin sister but didn't even know. It didn't seem fair. As if feeling guilty for even looking at Dymion, Apollo's violet orbs cast back downward to his own blood-speckled trembling hands, feeling exhausteed of many things right now. For a moment, he felt horrible for Hermes. He was always a messenger, always a bearer of bad news or good news. He faced the triumph of the good and the pain of the bad, but only as others received it. He says softly to Dymion, only glancing up before looking back to his hands, "Don't give it to the cat when it's that hot...." He looks back up, smiling slightly, "If you rinse it with cold water, she won't burn her tongue..." He felt strange, not knowing anything else to say as he turned his eyes back downward again.

Hermes watched him go, saying softly to his back, "What's done is done 'Pollo, you can't change the past. She has long forgiven you for that transgression, though she may not have realized it herself. I just don't want to see you get hurt anymore."

".....Ok," Endymion walk stiffly back into his room, the pang of rejection hidden. Apollo wouldn't even look at him anymore.
Serene padded after the boy, then jumped on the bed. She watched as Endymion locked the door behind him and turned up the music so that the the others in the next room wouldn't hear to chocked sob.
The cat nuzzled the boy's bring his attention back to her. He wipes his eyes and looked down at her. "Oh....right." He took the shrimp and rinsed them with cold water in the bathroom sink.
While Serene, dinned on the shrimp, Endymion ate as much of the salad as he could, he found that he had no appetite. Sighing in exhaustion, He lay in the bed, curled up around Serene. The small black cat let him bury his tears in her fur.
When the CD finally played the last song, Endymion was asleep.

Apollo watches Dymion disappear back into the room, hearing the door's lock click as it slid into place. He winced slightly, shuddering a little as he whispers, "There's nothing I can do then... I... I gave Endymion a promise.... but I'll have to break it, now...." He picks up the wet washcloth, busily wiping away at the speckles so that his own emotions wouldn't shine through more than he wanted them to. He lets the pause hang for a moment before whispering, "I can't even tell him why..... Hermes..." He glances back up to his friend eyes full of an almost simple childish hope, "Where do you think she is??" ((*enjoys cookie in relished delight* 200 tastes good, yay guild!!))

Hermes stood and went to Apollo, removing the washcloth from his hands and forcing Apollo to look at him and said carefully, "You don't have to break any promises, don't be ridiculous, Apollo. There's no reason you can't tell him, wither. He deserves to know why he was put to sleep for so long, and what that means. And if you tell him he may remember what happened."
He unbuttoned the other gods shirt saying, "As for Diana, she's probably somewhere safe, she may even be back home. But it doesn't matter where she is so long as we don't forget," and he placed his hand over the scar on his chest.

As soon as Endymion had fallen asleep, Serene carefully wiggled lose from his grasp and began to lick her fur back into place where it was messed up. Placing a light "kiss" on the boy's face. The small black cat dropped to the floor and pawed at the door.
There was a click as the door unlocked and the cat pawed the door open enough for her to wiggle through. Serene made her way over to the couch and hopped up on the arm and sat with her tail curled around her feet. She looked at Apollo with her silver eyes, deeply disapproving and partly hostile with her ears laid back.
It was if she was demanding that Apollo should leave. Now.

Apollo turns his eyes up to Hermes, smiling a little bit, partly forced but also in slight relief as well. He didn't know what he would do if Hermes wasn't here. His heart was beating slowly and steadily beneath Hermes' hand, aching with each pump, "I guess... I guess you're right.... But if Diana was the one to put him into the deep sleep, then who could have awakened him? Power like Diana's isn't easy to break.... I will tell him... I still have to break a promise to him, whether I tell him or not, but maybe I have to break it to keep one I should have made to her a long time ago...." He was suddenly distracted as Serene jumped up to the couch. He turns his eyes to the cat, smiling a little at first, "What's the matter, girl? You want some cream?...." He glances towards the door, expecting Endymion to be there, but he wasn't. He muses softly, "How did the cat get out?"

Hermes breifly muttered something about it being Morpheus himself that put the spell on Endymion, but it didn't matter either way. "I don't know who broke it or how, it may have just worn off over time and when his sleep was interrupted it broke the spell."
He followed Apollos gaze and looked at the cat, "you'll find that cats are devious creatures, they can do far more than one wouldexpect of them. This one haowever, seems it has something to tell us. Well, what is it then?"
He looked at the cat expectantly, as though waiting for her to just say whatever it was she wanted.

The cat seemed startled when Hermes spoke to her, Serene's fur briesled. She felt as thought she should know him as well, slowly the words twisted themselves from her throat, they were slurred, a cat's mouth wasn't ment for speacking human words. "Maa-nn...." She glared at Apollo and slowly studdred out the last word. "B-b-bad!.....B-bad...Me--an...Man..." One teh words were out she found it much easier to repeat them, "B-Bad Man!" She hissed at Apollo.

"Apollo? You must be mistaken, my dear. Apollo is harmless, far from bad. What manner of creature are you that you can speak? Surely you are no cat," Hermes said, sitting on the couch and stroked the cats back.
