[syruphistry]

....Oh!

[His body jolts with the realization, flailing a moment after to re stabilize himself in his awkward position to avoid falling. So the familiar voice was more than a coincidence!]

Pray forgive me, I hadn't realized it was you, honorable Emet-Selch. I'm... unfamiliar with that form of yours.

[amaure]

[He cannot help his smirk as it widens from that reaction. Yes, this was indeed Hermes, not that he really doubted it. However, the confirmation is welcomed all the same, the familiarity is bittersweet.]

Yes, well...a lot has happened between your time and mine.

[His smirk becomes something a bit softer, sadder, and the tired look to his eyes speaks volumes, vague though it may be.]

I do suppose ere you fall and break your neck, I should help you down, hm? [As he says this, he pulls a luxury ball from his belt, releasing his Hydreigon Apophis. The large dragon accesses the situation with a stern expression that extends to its false faces. With a gesture towards Hermes, the command is received and so too is Hermes, the large Pokémon taking an uncharacteristically gentle hold of him as it places him firmly on the ground.]

Right then, what do you last recall ere your arrival?

[syruphistry]

Time? That wouldn't happen to do with the place we find ourselves in now, would it?

[Hermes is unsure of what to make of this Emet-Selch, tired expressions aside, there were other differences besides his physical form he was starting to pick up on. Coming from a different time would explain a lot of it. But that was to ponder after he was out of this tree.]

Oh, yes I would appreciate the assistance!

[The arrival of Hydreigon managed to finally get Woopers attention, scaring it enough to have it jump up and run off into the bush. Hermes however was thankful for the rescue and in general not concerned with its ferocious and stern appearance.]

Thank you, friend.

[Said to the Hydreigon rather than it's trainer as he brushed himself off and scooped up his own Pokemon into his hands.]

Ah let's see...You mentioned interviewing me for the convocation? I'm afraid I've yet to give you my decision. Or rather, I still need more time to decide.

[amaure]

[Every bit of this man is the Hermes he remembers, the gentle soul who deeply cared (a little too much) for everything around him, especially creations. Assuming Hermes regards these creatures the same way Emet-Selch does, then his expression of thanks towards Apophis is unsurprising. Nor why he got himself stuck in the tree, the Wooper was likely to blame for that, though he is doubtlessly uncertain why one would climb a tree in the first place?

The scenario seems vaguely familiar, but nothing he can truly place why. Probably not important.

As for Apophis, there's a small grumble that leaves him before he floats over to Emet's side.]

That far back are you? Well, I suppose that's a bit of a mercy.

[He brings a gloved hand to his chin, his expression falling to something more thoughtful than the tired smile it was moments ago. No point in hiding things from him, he'll find out one way or another anyway.]

The chasm of time betwixt your point is mine is over twelve thousand years. [He removes his hand from his chin as he sweeps his arm over himself with a gesture.] And no one is immune to time's sway, so you'll have to forgive my queer appearance.

[syruphistry]

[Yeah probably not important at all, even though this Hermes remembers finding himself in the same sort of predicament not too long ago...

He brings his free hand up to his chin as he thinks, tilting his head ever so slightly.]

A mercy...? Did something happen?

[Their people are long lived, but twelve thousand years is a bit far off in the future isn't it? For Emet-Selch to dress as he does now though, well something big must have happened.]

Do we all dress so.... creatively in the future?
