Distracted, is what Ajax has become lately.

Sluggish at work, sloppy during spars. Paperwork piles high on his desk. The snide remarks from his fellow Harbingers, he can handle, but if his lapse in duty were to reach the Tsaritsa and he was asked to take a temporary leave in order to clear his mind…

The thought makes him shudder. A weapon of war, reduced to a yearning mess, and all because of a measly encounter. Unbelievable.

“There you are,” His face lights up once the barest hints of your head peek out of the water. “I was beginning to think you’d given up on me.”

Sirens like yourself prey on unsuspecting passersby, he’d read. When the ship he was on entered your territory, you probably saw it as an opportunity for a meal. But Ajax was no fool now, was he? And you were smart enough to swim away once you realized that.

That haunting song of yours, though, continues to torment him for days on end, echoing in his head like a broken record.

"It was me you were after, wasn't it? Well, I'm here now, so come on," Ajax beckons, tossing his fishing rod aside. It was hardly a weapon, just something to pass the time while waiting for you. "I'm all yours."

Your own curiosity is palpable as you swim closer. The knot inside his chest unravels and tightens at once, forcing him to take shallow gasps of air. Archons, this inexplicable infatuation is maddening. He doesn't even know what he'll do once you have him in your clutches—most likely anything you desire.

In the back of his mind, he can’t help but think of how dull his office looks, and that a massive fish tank would be a nice change of scenery.
