Hermes, as a rule, didn't spend a lot of time looking into mirrors or other reflective surfaces. Nor was he especially big on window shopping. So why was he so fascinated by this particular shop window? Well if one paused to look at what it was currently displaying, that would become quite clear.
Instead of reflecting the Reverin street he's standing on or showing the wares for sale inside, it instead displays images of a collection of floating islands covered with beautiful gardens and art deco architecture and populated people in robes and masks identical to those worn by Hermes along with various fantastical creatures such as gryphons and strange plant creatures. It's easy to see how someone could be distracted by such images, playing out like a vibrantly colored silent film on the window glass, but Hermes looks almost... nostalgic. Or at least as much as possible when half of his face is hidden.
I-D: The Unknown
Catching a glimpse of a figure in black robes and a mask, Hermes at first thought it was another citizen of Etheirys standing behind him, but a closer look revealed that this was someone quite different; the mysterious and troublesome 'Unknown' who'd been harassing the citizens of Reverin. "Who are you?", he demanded of the entity. "And why are you troubling the people of Reverin?"
Dreamboard- Personal Raincloud
Sometime after the trouble with the mirrors has passed, one might find a very wet Hermes sitting on a park bench and looking rather defeated. Why is he all wet, despite it being a relatively clear day? Because there's a personal sized raincloud hovering above him, raining on him and only him. He doesn't seem very happy about it, but also seems to be somewhat at a loss as to what to do about it. Maybe someone could lend him a hand?
