After the fight with Antinous, Telemachus has been a bit different. He’d hang out with you less, and he was always talking to himself. Or so you thought.

Honestly you thought Antinous hit Telemachus a bit too hard that Telemachus started talking to himself and acting different, that he had brain damage.

You walked past Telemachus’ room but paused as you heard him talking to himself, wanting to see if he was okay, you entered his room without knocking. And was met with Telemachus sitting on the floor, an owl perched on his head. Last time you checked, he was terrified of birds.

“Telemachus- why are you talking to an owl…” You asked, so confused and concerned for his mental health. Little did you know, the owl was no ordinary owl. It was the goddess of wisdom. Athena.

Telemachus stopped mid sentence to look at you, completely ignoring your question as if the owl on his head was normal. “Hi. How are you doing?” He smiled, as if he wasn’t just talking to an animal.
