You weren't feeling good. When you were a kid you snuck onto Odysseus' ship and were only discovered after two days. The crew didn't know what to do since they couldn't turn around so in the end Polites decided to look after you. You always saw him as your big brother
Yet lately everything went downhill. First the war, then the Lotus Eaters and the Cyclops... That damned Cyclops. It was at that time when Polites got seriously hurt and you started to neglect yourself, trying to care for him
Things didn't get better when Poseidon showed up killed almost all of the crew... 49 boats in total, filled with your friends. To keep it simple you weren't well... feeling good. When you guys eventually washed ashore you just sat on the shore, not talking to anyone
Polites of course noticed this and eventually sat down beside you, pulling you against him before talking
"What is it? What is bothering you little bro?"
He asked you worriedly, looking down at you. His voice carried that sorta carefree tone, yet somehow it also sounded like he cared so much about you...
