Telemachus

He huffed "no tricks, I just want to see something!" His fins drooped

...what did you want to see?

He smiled "If I can lift you! I met a king named Laertes, he says he's my grandpa. He told me he couldn't lift you, and now I wanna try to lift you!"

He motioned for him to come closer

He huffed "no tricks, I just want to see something!" His fins drooped

...what did you want to see?

He smiled "If I can lift you! I met a king named Laertes, he says he's my grandpa. He told me he couldn't lift you, and now I wanna try to lift you!"

"Humans bring you food?" He asked as he waved back

Just him... and... he doesnt anymore... grew up i guess.

"Huh.. Father often brings me food taht he gets from his human boyfriend Polites. I think I still have some if you'd like something to eat"

He disappeared beneath the waved before coming back a few moments later with a basket of food "food!"

*she clapped with a laugh* yay! Thank you Telemachus.... you so very sweet in every form.

He smiled as he gave her the basket

No no. Let me just take a few things its yours Telemachus.

"I already ate today though, you can have this"

*she sighs taking it* fine... thank you Telemachus.

"You're welcome!"

*she smiled and started to eat* you are a very sweet boy.

"Thank you"

So... was your dad also a siren? Ive only ever met one Siren Ody...

He nodded "yes, he's a siren! Though I doubt you've met him."

Huh. Two of them... how odd.... i am sure your father is kind like my friend.

"Very kind!"

*she smiles* i would love to meet him.

"I'm not sure where he is at the moment, but I'll try introducing you whenever I get the chance!"

I would love that! So how old are you? I'm quite used to a 10 year old human version of you *she chuckles* you're much taller.

"Ah, I believe I'm around 20 now"

*she laughs* youre not sure?

"No.. not really"

Wanna explain?

"I dont really keep track of my age"

Why not?

"Wasnt really important"

Fair enough. I stopped counting about 200 years ago myself.

"Woah, super old!"

*she chuckles* wow thanks for the reminder.

"Oh.. sorry"

You're fine kid *she laughed* i would just try not to call people old from now on.

"Okay"

*she finished eating and passed the basket back* theres still a little left in there. Thank you.

"Was it good?"

"Humans bring you food?" He asked as he waved back

Just him... and... he doesnt anymore... grew up i guess.

"Woah, super old!"

"Good! You should keep doing it! Its very therapeutic."

“It is indeed”

He splashed him "and fun!"

He laughs and splashes him back

He laughed

“I’m still strong for an old man you know”

"That so?"

“I picked you up, easily”

"Well i'm very light"

“Granted you don’t expect a 92 year old to be able to lift you anyway”

"True"

“But you are quite light”

He nodded

“Same with your father”

"Maybe sirens are just light?"

“Maybe”

"Hmm.. or perhaps its just me and father"

“Could be a mix of things”

"Could be"

“Granted most people I’ve met I can pick up, besides eurylochus”

"Why not him?"

“He’s 6’3 and 220 pounds of pure muscle”

"Why is he so tall?"

“No idea”

"Oh"

“Good genes maybe?”

"Maybe"

“But, I can’t pick him up”

"I probably could!"

“I welcome you to try”

"I gotta find him first!"

“You can probably find him either in Ithaca or same”

"Alright!"

“Let me know how it goes”

"Okay!"

“Now, I should get out, see you soon” he climbs back onto the dock

"Byeee!"

"Good! You should keep doing it! Its very therapeutic."

“It is indeed”

He splashed him "and fun!"

He laughs and splashes him back

He laughed
