Kalila slowly opened the doors to the bathroom and looked around to make sure it was empty. He smiled seeing the baths were empty and walked towards the large pool. " Hey, pretty boy. " Kalila turned around and saw Kypros standing in the door " Oh it's just you. " Kypros frowned and walked over to Kalila " Just me? What's that supposed to mean? " Kalila's hands were placed on Kypros face and he moved it towards his own " You'll see one day " Kalila kissed the bridge of Kypros nose and then pushed him into the bath " Hey! no fair " Kypros jumped up and grabbed Kalila by the waist pulling him in. The two of them looked at each other dripping wet and still looking as beautiful as they did dry and started laughing " Kalila you're a special one. " Kalila snorted hearing this which made Kypros blush even harder than he already was, Kalila's hands quickly covered his mouth and he dove under the water out of embarrassment. Kypros dove under the water and pulled Kalila into a hug " Don't run away! I love your laugh it's adorable and it suits you! " Kalila looked up into Kypro's eyes and saw something that wasn't there before, gold flecks glittering in his emerald eyes, and they were focused on him. The water started to sparkle and glow around the pair, Golden smoke and a bright light filled the water confusing both of them. " Why is she coming to see you? " Kypros looked at Kalila confused " Whos coming to see me? " before Kypros could respond a woman was standing next to them in the bath " Why am I wet? " Hera opened her eyes and looked at the two of them " and why are you here? " Kypros let go of Kalila and nervously laughed " I should be going now " and just like that Kypros had turned into glitter " Now is that actually Hera or is it Echo? " Hera turned her attention to the small wet boy " Why would I be my personal assistant? " Hera climbed out of the pool and sat down on the ledge " Well answer me, mortal. " Kalila turned bright red and looked into her eyes " When Echo came to see me she was dressed as you. " Hera frowned and tapped the floor next to her for Kalila so he could sit next to her. He saw over and pulled himself up to sit " Echo said it'd be a few days and it's the night of? " Hera placed her head in her hands " Do you want my help or not? I'm a very busy goddess and am taking time out of my booked schedule to come to see you. " Kalila placed his hand on Heras's shoulder " Are you alright? I can tell something is wrong? " Hera looked up and smiled softly at Kalila " Not all of you mortals are bad, Yes something is wrong but I'm here to help you with your problem. " The two of them spoke for what felt like hours slowly becoming comfortable with each other which wasn't something anyone could do with Hera, she felt like she finally had a friend or somebody she could talk to. " Listen to me Kalila Id like to help you but mortals arent allowed on Olympus so I'm going to sneak you in another goddess did this it was Aphrodite and she did with Psyche. Only a few of us know she's not a Nymph like she's being portrayed as. " Kalila smiled at picked up Heras hands " You don't realize how much this means to me! Your Majesty thank you! " Hera stood up and pulled Kalila into a hug " Don't worry my dear you'll be safe and far away from this place in no time. I just need to find a place for you to hideaway. " Hera turned her head and looked out of the window facing them " Helios is on his way which means I need to get back to Olympus, Ill see you soon Kalila. " Kalila hugged Hera back and then held on to her hands " Ill do my best for you Hera, until then goodbye. " Hera smiled and hugged him back before turning into particles. Kalila made his way up to his room and fell into his bed once he reached it he smiled before falling asleep still warm from Heras embrace. Back on Olympus Hera walked into her empty office building, she opened the door to her office slowly as if somebody would be in there. Making her way to her desk she grabbed her laptop off the table and sat down at the desk " Where am I going to put you? " she opened the browser to her relator's website " Something small but also luxurious at the same time. " she found a few options but quickly decided she hated everything about them. " This is taking forever! " She laid her head down on her desk and sighed " Well I gotta at least get this done. " She sat back up and looked at her phone " Still too early for anybody to be at work. " She took a sticky note from one of her employee's desks and wrote a note saying she would be back later, after that she took the elevator down and walked out to her car. She smiled driving through the quiet streets of Olympus only seeing a few cars a few moments later she pulled into a coffee shop drive-through " Welcome to The Spruce how may I take your order? " Hera looked at the Menu and thought for a moment " Hi can I get one Bougasta and a large Iced black coffee? " there was a pause before the cashier spoke " Coming right up, please pull up to the second window. " Hera grabbed her purse and looked for her wallet as she slowly pulled up to the window to grab her coffee and pastry " that'll be- Oh Queen Hera! " Hera handed the Nymph working the window her Debit card " Thank you, dear. " Hera took the cup and the pastry from the nymph " Have a good day. " Hera took a bite out of her Bougasta and sped back to her office. Hera pulled up to her office to see it was busy with life, Walking into her office building with her Pastry and Coffee she nodded her head at a few of the nymphs before walking into her personal office. Hera noticed the file on her desk and frowned " If I don't open it she still works here. " Hera ignored the file and opened her computer again and looked at homes again " Oh this one looks promising! " Hera realized she had found the perfect place for Kalila to stay. Checking her schedule she called the Realator asking if she could see the property that day " Of course Hera! see you in an hour or so. " Hera set her phone down and grabbed her coat walking out of her personal office " Have a good day everyone. " The nymphs smiled and waved goodbye to Hera as she walked out of the office. " Do you think she saw Echos file on her desk? " The nymph shook her head " No, but I just saw her call log and she just got off the phone with her Realator, what do you think that is about? " The other nymph laughed " She most likely bought another house as a getaway from Zeus. " About an hour later Hera pulled up to the house, as she stepped out of her car and waved at Hestia. "It's wonderful to see you again sister! " The two hugged for a few minutes before walking around the property " Sister why are you looking at another house when you already have seven? " Hera smiled at Hestia and turned to her "It's a surprise that I'm working on sister, Do you think our lovely sister Demeter will lend me some help with the garden here? " Hestia stopped walking and looked out of the window towards the garden " Of course she will if Zeus won't be allowed here, but why are you getting another house? You can't even tell your dear sister. " The two of them laughed and then continued their walk around " Well sister the reason why I'm buying this lovely property is something that applies to my job. " Hestia nodded her head and they arrived back at the front of the house " I have the paperwork on me if you want to sign it. " Hera nodded and Hestia pulled a file out of her purse and handed it over to Hera with a pen. " Hera when was the last time you slept? You look awful. " Hera finished with the papers and looked up at a concerned Hestia " I'm fine sister, I was just in the mortal realm all of last night. " Hestia took the file from Hera and handed her the Keys " Do you need a decorator? " Hera shook her head and walked them out to the cars " No thank you Hestia I know exactly what I'm going to do with this house. " Hestia nodded and hugged Hera one last time before stepping inside her car. " Until next time Hera! " Hera walked towards her own car " Until next time Hestia. "
