Summary
The morning glories had closed up in the darkness, and probably were going to shrivel in the frost overnight, but I could still remember exactly where I had been sitting when he passed by. I dipped a spoon into the precious dregs of of my honey from last fall and let it drizzle into the water. It had crystalized a bit over the winter and I had to scrape the last of it off the spoon with the side of my finger. I left the fish sitting on the bank with the morning glories.
Helios had always recommended honey and wine for gods, but I didn't have any wine and didn't know where I could get it out here anyway. Besides one time I saw an infantryman successfully call a goddess with nothing but his daily ration of smallbeer and a pinch of salt. I hoped the god would understand. The honey probably counted for extra since I'd harvested it myself from the hives under the trees beside my cabin—I bet those ancient Greek knights just bought theirs from someone.
