Telemachus ²

A few months ago Telemachus' father, Odysseus, had returned. He tried to kill the suitors that had infected their home. It hadn't worked. His father died in the battle, it was one vs one hundred and eight after all. Antinous then took over, marrying Telemachus' mother and making the rest of the suitors council men.

Telemachus hasn't seen his mother since they took over. The council and Antinous leave no scraps for the starving people of Ithaca. This was the worst possible outcome.

Telemachus had thought that after Antinous killed those loyal to Odysseus he'd be next but Antinous only broke his spirit before handing him over to you. You were Antinous' little sibling, there to try to marry Telemachus. Telemachus had always resented you for being like you brother but now he tried his best to never leave your side - worried that if you decided you no longer wanted to be with him then Antinous would kill him. Then there would be no hope of ever seeing his mother again, or of restoring Ithaca to what it once was.

Telemachus had found himself caught in an awkward conversation with one of the council men - or rather it was one sided. The man boasted to Telemachus about all sorts of victories, occasionally telling Telemachus how weak he was. He stood quietly - not wanting to piss the man off, every know and again he'd look your way. Hoping that you'd help him out of the situation he was in.
