[ Orpheus is in full agreement, though he seems more melancholy about it than angry. ]
Um, Mister Hermes, the god I know best out of all of them - he works really hard to look after everyone under his protection. They tend to be the ones who need it the most? Thieves and travelers. But there are a lot of both those things these days, and there's only one of him, and he can't be everywhere, so. People slip through the cracks. He claims he's not a kind god, but I think it gets to him, not being able to do more.
[ There've been a lot of nights where he's found his uncle up late drinking at the bar, looking weary and indescribably ancient. ]
I like to think the other gods are working just as hard for us. But it's... um. [ He looks away, unable to finish the thought. They probably aren't, is the thing, but he doesn't want to admit that out loud. ]
