#ler!circe

Great. How did we get here HUH ODYSSEUS??

BASICALLY, right after most of his crew got brutally murdered by Poseidon JUST to get sent STRAIGHT to Circes island and find out some of his men were turned to pigs. Great.

Even after some Moly from Hermes, He couldn't help but find himself at least a little nervous. This was Circe. Someone who could put a spell on him and do WHATEVER. Though he didn't want to show that. He was Odysseus! A fearless and brave king who'll do anything to get back to his kingdom.

Entering Circe's Palace felt like a whole mood switch. He went from "okay.. entering the sting zone.." to "Wait that was easy This'll prolly be a piece of cake".(I'm so sorry for this reference)

He finally walked into the thrown room, and y'know yatta yatta The fight happens. Yeah yeah and NOW it's time for the best part!!

"Hm. If you aren't willing to.. sacrifice your life then I'm sure there are.. other ways."

Odysseus froze. OTHER WAYS?? Oh HELL NO. He wasn't gonna be seduced by a magic goddess!! And then..

She placed her hands on his sides. His poor, poor sensitive sides. He was VERY vulnerable to side tickles.. especially out of NOWHERE!

"Woah woah heyheheeheh.." Odysseus tried to speak, though Circe, who was actively tickling his sides, caused him to burst into a fit of giggles. "Heheheh.. No! S-stohohop!!"

Circe's smile widened as she watched him giggle, her fingers dragging along his sides. It seemed this is a nice sacrifice.. one of dignity and vulnerability. One that would probably be embarrassing.. which it was for Odysseus. Considering he hasn't really Laughed or smiled much in.. a while. Not much since Polites.

But alas, here he was, giggling like a madman because the Goddess of Magic wanted a payment for his men.

In all honesty, it was truly the best distraction. Especially when she slowly pulled a dagger out and prepared to stab him.

Until he pushed her away, giggling quietly as he tried recovering. "Stohop!" He said between quiet, faded giggles..

He then went on the long rant about his wife and how long he's been away from her, blah blah blah..

"Poseidon, eh?" She spoke, quietly walking over to a cauldron as she began grabbing herbs and potions, "There might be a way to evade him.."

Yea yea all that yapping

"I can't get you home but I'll get you do the underworld instead.."

"You're actually helping us?"

She nodded as she began walking through her gardens, going to the Men-turned-pigs before finally reversing the spells that her tainted food and wine had given them.
