Normally Cain isn’t the type to reach out to coworkers outside of work - in fact, he seldom interacts with them during a shift. Much less one he no longer had to see and it wasn’t like he was that close or even fond of Hercules. Oh no, he just wants to prove a point to himself. While physically he isn’t intimidated by the other man, there is still an unspoken feeling of inferiority he can’t shake. So he texted Hercules about a friendly contest with multiple components including speed, creativity, and efficiency. 

“You understand the rules, right? For the love of Zeus tell me there’s something occupying the space between your ears,” they’re standing before the entrance when Cain looks over at the other man. Before giving Hercules a chance to speak, Cain holds up a hand to silence him. With a side eye he adds, “the goal is to be the first one out with at least three of the five objects from the list that should be sent any minute now. Can you handle that?”
