The king grimaced lightheartedly at the idea of the trickster god delivering the letters. He understood it was his job, but he was more of an immortal messenger than a mortal one ... maybe for this strange short human, he would, however.

"Come along to ... see Lord Hermes?" He wonders with a raised eyebrow, though he does not hesitate to take the conjured seat.

Odyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

*They just sway back and forth*

A thing happened.

"... what sort of thing? With you, it could be quite a large variety." He hums, tilting his head and patiently waiting.

[just-a-mer]

Besides the obvious, rather long tail - that of which lacked any scales - was some webbing between his clawed fingers, ears pointed to resemble fins on the sides of his head, and the glint of sharp teeth whenever he would open his mouth to speak. Additionally, Kharmion would be able to note that the hue of his eyes was much warmer than the blueish-brown he typically presented himself with.

"Ah, I am unsurprised to hear." Odysseus smiles. "Though, this moment does pose itself as a ripe opportunity to give you reason why I've never liked you treating my injuries."

... Odysseus?

[ Kharmion is staring at him questioningly... ]

ooc: was unsure where you wanted this to be placed timeline-wise, so I set it before their ship sailed to Troy. Feel free to let me know if you were thinking of a different setting!

The king sat at the shore, letting the waves lap dangerously close to his tail. Sun and cloud gazed down at the mortal, and the sand that graced the webbing between his fingers. At the sound of a voice, he looked over his shoulder with a slight widening of his gaze. "Kharmion.."

[just-a-mer]

"Let's just say this isn't a person you'd want in your empire, kid. Lest they try to take your throne." Odysseus explains.

“Child”

@get-to-the-prince

Want me to call you old man? :( I'm your future emperor!

[just-a-mer]

How did you find multiple soul mates!?

We need your secrets!

~💋🌹

"You must speak of Penelope and Tiresias, no?" He hums in thought for a moment, placing a hand on his chin in dramatic effect. "Ignoring the natural charm that comes with my species, I spent a long time maintaining and strengthening the relationships by my own hand."

[just-a-mer]

"Perhaps I do, but that does not matter. Your fate was deserved - even if you were not after my son, you had your eyes set on his mother."

"Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it more than you know." Odysseus states with a small nod of gratitude, not minding her presence at his side. Turning back to focus his attention on the horizon.

"Tell me: what brought you to the edge of Ithaca? Usually, this little outcrop is rather bare of two-legs."

... Odysseus?

[just-a-mer]

The siren simply snorted at the bap, lightly swatting their hand away in response.

"Good to know. Who plans to make the invites? I'd like to be prepared in case you make some sort of trapped card."

Odyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

"Afraid I don't recognize your face ... though I can assume he was one of the many after my wife's hand and my son's head." Odysseus' tone is bitter and cautious as he places a hand on Alexander's shoulder.

"I love you too, Alex." Odysseus replies before nodding in response to the question, stepping into stride beside his son.

Open Starter: Traitor (future continued)

*Alex looked furious as he was shouting orders. Clearly something was going on. You could make out the words "arrest" and "traitor" as you approached him*

Odysseus hums quietly in thought, gaze flicking between her eyes before he sighs. "No, not quite ... " he waves a dismissive hand, "It is no secret, but I prefer not many know regardless. Try to keep this between the sea and I, would you?"

... Odysseus?

[just-a-mer]

The king snorts. "Ah. Unfortunately, I am not too surprised by the fact. When will your wedding be? Worked out any specific details - ring designs, place, what you will wear?"

A dramatic gasp escapes Odysseus as he places a hand over his chest. "I hope you're not handing out invites already - otherwise, I'd be rather upset to find out I hadn't gotten one yet."

Odyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

"I find it odd that someone of your status would have free time, let alone spend it with me, but I will not deny that it is appreciated." The siren curls their tail to sit more comfortably upon the shore. With a slight tilt of his head, he turns his attention back to the gentle waves.

"Well, a rather short mortal has been bringing me around what I can only refer to as the modern world. Such a perplexing thing, really."

“Something about you looks…different. Oh! Did you get a haircut?”

*I chuckle.*

“I only kid, I know you’re not the same. What have you got happening, recently?”

-Hermes ( @messenger-god )

Odysseus jumps at the appearance of the familiar voice, turning to face the god - the same one that ended up taking his place as the old king's only well-liked god these past few years.

"Nothing past the usual: being pulled into strange worlds, meeting even stranger people and ... not people." The siren hums. "Been a while since I've seen your face, Lord Hermes. What brings you to Ithaca this time?"

[just-a-mer]

"I can only imagine ... "

“Hey! Sorry for scaring you earlier! My names wave”

@brace-for-me

"Scaring me?" Odysseus looks over the new face, and the aura they exhude. It's certainly familiar - and not in a pleasant way. Divine, if he had to guess. A personified being. "Ah, I see ... no harm done."

[just-a-mer]

"You're - " The siren's mouth hangs agape for a moment, eyes flickering over Icey's hands as though half-expecting a ring to have appeared. It does not take long for a smile to appear on Odysseus' face, however, and he chuckles.

"Well, that's wonderful. Congratulations, kid." He pats their head. "Who proposed?"

"That is alright. We can always simply take time to spar or whichever you prefer to get your mind off it." He assures, rubbing soothing circles onto the other's back. "We will get through this. That much I know."
