Arwa stepped back a step, just to keep the distance between himself and Zeus. "Well Sir, The man looked a little bit like yourself," Arwa said. "Except, that he was shorter and had black hair.." He paused. "I think his name was Status." He then giggled, looking down at his chest. "My mum scared him. He looked really scared."

Artemis glanced over at Hermes and raised an eyebrow silently asking him how he was going to explain this one to Zeus.

Hermes winked one eye to silently reply that though he didn't immediately have a plan to get out of it, he did have a plan to delay the revelation to Zeus.
"Arwa," Hermes said, turning away from Apollo, who was now cleaning himself- thank god- and not dependent on Hermes' assistance, "Can you describe what your mother looked.. looks like?" He paused, accidentally, slipping up in mid sentence, hoping Zeus didn't notice.
Arwa looked to Hermes, then turned his face up to the sky as if to remember. "My mother, Delilah, has dark skin. It's darker than mine, and her hair is short. She's got yellow bits on her face..."
"A tattoo?" Hermes asked aloud. He knew the person.
"What's a Tatt- oh." Arwa said, now realising that the yellow bits was called a tattoo. "Yes, one of those Tattoos.."
Hermes picked up the discarded mirror, "Apollo, can you scry a likeness of Delilah on this mirror? I've got a plan to return Arwa home."

Zeus waited for Apollo to bring up the image of the woman called Delilah. He inwardly smiled- If she was pretty enough, he might go visit her when Hera was looking the other way and little boy Arwa was asleep or playing with friends.

Artemis shook her head when she saw the look on her father's face. She caught Hermes's eyes and promptly rolled hers knowing Zeus wasn't paying attention to them at the moment.

Hermes sighed quietly, eyes looking the other way. He wondered how much trouble he'd get into if he everso innocently forgot to mention to Zeus about Delilah's abilities. As Delilah's image appeared on the mirror, though only a blurry outline of her body, Hermes asked Apollo if he could get an image of the surroundings as well.
"Mister Apollo," Arwa asked, "Where's that?" The strange place looked familiar, as if he'd seen it before, though not from the inside, where his mother was.

Artemis grinned at the look her brother had on his face. He clearly did not want to be asked a question from the faun yet. Her brother was slow to forgive anyone other than her. It usually took him weeks to forgive Hermes. "Go on and give him an answer Apollo. It's not nice to keep children waiting." She teased.

"Oh give over, 'Polly!" Hermes grinned, poking Apollo on the shoulder. "He's only a child!" He even grinned through Apollo's infamous 'death stare', Hermes coughed, "And should know better than that."

Artemis shook her head. "He's a child Apollo it won't hurt to tell him. Also Hermes don't call him Polly not only does it bother him you make him sound like a girl which he doesn't appreciate. Why don't you humorous us and stop calling him Polly and Apollo tell the child where it is so he will stop questioning you."

"Fine then. A-Pollo." Hermes said. "Are you going to tell the little boy where his mother is, or shall I?"
Arwa frowned. Why were the two gods acting like children? Why didn't Apollo answer his question? "Mister Apollo...?" Arwa asked, tapping him on the shoulder lightly, "I.." he looked down, looking quite sorry for himself, "I'm very sorry for being scared..."

Artemis grinned slightly as she then looked at her twin and gave him the pout. She didn't use it often as she felt it was below her but it was very effective against Apollo. "Please Apollo tell the little Faun where his mother is. If you do it for me I promise I'll keep Hermes away from you when he doesn't have a message to deliver to you."

Hermes feigned to look hurt. "Yes, Apollo." Hermes mimicked. "Do tell the little child where his mother is."
Arwa looked at Hermes, and said clearly, "Mister Hermes, why are you being so mean? Mister Apollo can't help being quiet."
Hermes' eyebrows rose. "Mean?" he chuckled. "Child, this is friendly banter between brothers. You'll find out about it later when you get a younger brother or sister in time."

Artemis smiled slightly. "Arwa Apollo and Hermes get along much better than most of our siblings do. We have a very big family and out of the many brothers we have Apollo and Hermes are the closest that's why Hermes annoys him. You will understand when you get a younger sibling. It's their job to drive you insane." She told the faun throwing a look at Hermes that was a cross between annoyance and amusement.

"Are you going to tell him or shall I?" asked Hermes, taking a serious stand.

"I will tell him," Zeus said, trying to maintain authority over his brood. If anyone had told him when he was the god about the town that Procreation would have led to such tortures as squabbling offspring, multiple headaches and much stress in later life, Zeus would have obliterated them. As he inspected the image on the mirror, Zeus noticed the blurry outline. Couldn't you get a clearer image? He thought with slight annoyance. He was unaware that he had said it aloud. As he looked to his three present children and the faun child, he realised what he had said. "Troy." He then said to Arwa, "Your mother appears to be inside Troy."
