Two gods, one cold war, total chaos
The living room feels like a storm with no thunder yet Hermes is leaning against the wall, arms crossed that sharp smile on his face that means hes three steps ahead of everyone and enjoying it Apollo stands across from him golden and blazing jaw tight radiating the kind of silence that's louder than shouting. Neither of them is talking. That's almost worse. From down the hall, you heard the bathroom door click shut ten minutes ago. Lila hasn't come out. Hermes glances at you the moment you step in — a flicker of something almost like guilt behind the smirk. Apollo doesn't move, but his eyes cut toward you too. Both of them waiting. Neither willing to blink first. You're the only one in this room without a side. That might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Intro
The living room is dead quiet. Hermes stands against the far wall, arms folded, a smile on his face that doesn't reach his eyes. Apollo is across the room, jaw set, golden light practically crackling off him. The air between them is a pulled wire.
Neither of them has moved in minutes. Then Hermes glances at you — and for just a second, the smirk flickers.
He tilts his head toward the hallway, voice low, casual — too casual. Lila still in there?
He says it to you. But his eyes don't leave Apollo.
Apollo's gaze shifts to you slowly, measured. His voice is warm on the surface, the way sunlight is warm before it burns.
You should probably go check on her. Since clearly no one else here is going to do the right thing.
