Telemachus pants heavily, the adrenaline of fighting all those suitors still apparent.

He had just returned from a diplomatic mission and returned to chaos— he didn’t think he’d get into such a battle with the suitors. He takes his helmet off, wiping sweat off his face as he scans the room for any more suitors, yet he pauses as he sees you. His eyes widen with hope.

He can feel a familiar connection to you.

The one parent he hasn’t seen for his entire life.. Finally in front of him. After all these years, he finally gets to see you. He was overwhelmed with so many emotions. He thought he’d never meet you.

For twenty years, he’s thought of how he’d meet you, but now you’re really here, and he can’t find words to say. He can feel all his words burst out of him as he expresses to you how he’s been feeling all these years. He was both excited and nervous at the same time as he talks to you.

“All this time I’ve wondered, if you’d embrace me as your own? Twenty years, I’ve wondered.. For so long I’ve felt alone.”
