she wanders through palace halls late a night. slips into darkened passageways that ody had showed her years before, and finally escapes onto sodden fields. slipping her sandals off as bare feet embrace the whispy grass. as her toes sink into the wet dirt. she’s missed this.

she couldn’t help but at first try to reach out , to cradle his face in her hands as if he were young again . he was still so young to her . he always would be . restraining herself , she shakes her head solemnly . “ shh , there is nothing that you could do to make them ” {+}
⠀ ⠀⠀ Emerald eyes waver — stoicism lost from his expression in the presence of his mother. Looking boyish and young beside her — the only one he would allow vulnerability in front of. ⠀ ⠀⠀ Yet — hands clench at his sides. Frustration bubbles ; anger twisting ⠀ ⠀⠀ +

“ cease . It is foolish of you to think you could . They’ve power , lykos , power together that we do not . ” Stiffening , only slightly , as he grasps her hands in his own , as his words flowed like honey to her ears . She had long wanted that to happen , but not for {+}

she gracefully lowers herself to be seated besides him , folding her hands within her lap . his furrowed brow only caused to worry her more . it was obvious to her that something gnawed at the boy , though she would not force a disclosure . {+}
⠀ ⠀⠀ Hesitating — His lips press together. Unwilling to disclose the thoughts spinning in his tortured mind. ⠀ ⠀⠀ ". . . The palace walls can feel — constricting, at times." ⠀ ⠀⠀ A wry smile offered. Taking his previous seat — patting the ground next to him. ⠀ ⠀⠀ +

a wry , knowing chuckle and she smiles softly . “ oh I know the constriction of the palace walls all too well these 10 years . ” “ I fare as well as one can be when once has men breathing down her door to become her betrothed . . . I would not wish it to anyone , but I can ” {+}

she gazes out upon the sea . waves crashed and seemed as if to shake the cliffs she stood upon . she wonders what lies upon the bottom of that sea . if it obscures the pearlescent bones of her love . she wonders often if she should join that water depth .

“ could I not say the same for you , my son ? ” she smiles gratefully at his actions . she had taught him well . “ I needed . . . a walk , I suppose . Space . Too much time in my room . . . It sets my mind to wander . ” she sighs , softly , gazing at Telemachus . {+}
⠀ ⠀⠀ Snapping to attention — his posture relaxes at the sight of his mother. ⠀ ⠀⠀ "Mother . . . What are you doing out here? It's cold." ⠀ ⠀⠀ Standing — taking the cloak from his shoulders to wrap around her's instead.⠀ ⠀⠀

“ what of you ? why do you come out ? something troubles you ? ”

perhaps a penny for them ? she worries about him .
⠀ ⠀⠀ Resting under a withering tree, gaze lifted to darkened clouds. — Lost in thought . . .⠀ ⠀⠀

she walks thru the halls , her head held high . her posture regal , as she scans the slumped forms of drunken men that populated her palace . face neutral , she settles her gaze upon the { READER } .

dipping behind a pillar as if to sneak away from him . the garden had been her quiet place , but here she was trying to slip away like a thief in the night .
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ The suitors are being especially loud tonight, he's in the palace gardens taking a break. ⠀ ⠀

she was able to sneak away for a ride . perhaps she lost herself a moment .

gently pressing a kiss to his forehead ; her thumb was softly brushing against his cheeks . “ Gods be damned if I let us part again . ”
