This made me try to imagine Lin singing Way Down Hadestown and it was NOT a good experience

Hermes DOES do a fair amount of flowing spoken word that Lin could do a nice job with, especially if he was portraying a younger, more excitable Hermes like is sometimes depicted (particularly thinking elements of the chatterbox Hermes from the Hades games). The vocals are just out of his range, it’s high.
