OMG I HAVE HC SIMILAR

Tele would have been twelve. Pen is doing queen stuff when Antinous corners her. She freezes, scared. They hear young tele nearby. Pen begs antinous not to let her son see her like this. He complies, Ben Penelope is still shaky as her son rounds the corner. His spirit instantly deflates as he sees him. Pen ushers him away, following him to see whatever he wanted to show her, but she never forgets how much of a threat these men pose.

Sad Canon.

What if in Epic, Penelope shut herself in her room after an incident? She was just out and about. You know, enjoying her palace as much as she could in spite of the unwelcome guests. Then Antinous has to be the creep that he is and tries to force himself on her, but Telemachus steps in (is probably a young teen at this point) and just gets laughed at. She sees that he's going to get really hurt if this keeps up, so she just stops leaving her room to protect them both.
