The ancient Greeks thought a marketplace was a good place to go in order to pick up messages from the world. A popular oracle in ancient Greece was located in a walled market. At the center of the market was a simple rough-hewn statue of Hermes, who plays messenger between gods and humans.

Consulting the oracle was as simple as this. You enter the market through the gate in the wall towards the close of business, as the vendors are working in or packing up their stalls. You bring your question for the oracle with you. You walk to the statue of the god and whisper that question in his ear. Then you plug your ears, or press your hands over them, shutting out external sounds as you walk back to the gate. At the exact moment you reach the gate, you unplug your ears. The first sounds you hear – a snatch of conversation, the cry of a bird, the creak of an overloaded wagon – will be the response of the oracle. The god will speak to you directly through the everyday noise of the world, once you have set a clear intention and put yourself in a frame of mind to receive the message.



Tldr; The thief who calls himself Feldspar asks for a blessing from Hermes. Imagine his surprise when the first thing he hears is a voice over his shoulder saying "follow me". A very sexy blessing ensues.

Semi-anonymous sex: bonus points if Craig questions whether he's actually getting a "blessing" from Hermes or getting dicked down by an opportunistic creep. And not minding that at all.
