(the wheeze i let out at that image (โ‰งใƒฎโ‰ฆ) odysseus will never let his son be sad again if he can help it)
*seconds after odysseus attached "new" bait to telemachus' line*
*the line starts pulling like mad*
telemachus: *overjoyed* i have a bite!
odysseus: *internally smirking at poseidon but outwardly smiling at his son*
odysseus: reel it in son! let's see what you got!
*after a bit of wrestling the line (and the tiniest of help from his father) telemachus manages to pull up a huge sea fish*
telemachus: *amazed* a tuna!
odysseus: not just any tuna, a bluefin! well done son! what beast you have caught.
telemachus: *full of joy at his father's pride & praise*
odysseus: would you like to try again?
telemachus: *full of determination* yeah, lets do it!
*after many more catches later*
telemachus: *looking at their (huge) haul* we have caught enough to feed not only us, but i believe the people of ithaca too!
odysseus: that sounds like a plan
odysseus: i'm sure we even have enough to sell or trade
telemachus: *happy but still sighs* the only shame is we didn't catch a swordfish, it is mother's favou-
*a giant splash is heard and suddenly a giant swordfish is thrown lands on the deck from the sea*
telemachus: -rite
telemachus: *blinking in disbelief* how did that get ther-
odysseus: *knows exactly how that got there*
odysseus: *ready to put his silver tongue to use again*
odysseus: *feigning shock* -how lucky! i have heard of them leaping out from the sea before! but to leap and land on our ship!
odysseus: let us put it with the others son, and then we shall set a course for home.
telemachus: *looking at his father*
telemachus: *looking back at the sea from where the swordfish came from*
telemachus: *looking back at his father and then smiling like he's figured something out* okay!
*after the events of the odyssey*
*telemachus and odysseus walking down to the docks, after odysseus said he'd go sailing with his son*
(listen the man had missed 20 years of his son's life, he could ask ody to dress in drag & do the hula and odysseus would already be shouting "LUAU" in a grass skirt before tele finished his sentence)
telemachus: i'm so excite- *looks ahead*
telemachus: *stops walking* oh no *sad noises*
odysseus: *still walking* what's wrong son?
telemachus: *points to the sea beyond ithaca's shores* poseidon must be angry today, look at the storm in the distance
odysseus: *looks ahead but without worry on his face* no need to worry, we can still go sailing, follow me
telemachus: *confused but follows his dad*
*both make it to the docks*
odysseus: you get started, i've just got something to do & then i'll join you on the ship
*telemachus hops on the ship and odysseus turns to face the sea*
odysseus: *red eyes activate* i'm. going. sailing. with . my. son.
*the sea storm dissipates in record speed*
odysseus: good.
odysseus: *red eyes deactivate*
odysseus: *turns to telemachus smiling like nothing happened* shall we go then?
telemachus: *happy but very confused*
telemachus: *mumbling to himself*what just happened?
