But he didn’t make his disguise last long, only to Telemachus. You and Penelope were still unaware of this strange old man in your kingdom. Telemachus was told to keep it a secret, though, so he had to play along with his father’s lie. But your father kept trying to talk to you, still in disguise. It terrified you, as Penelope (ur mum) had taught you not to speak to strangers, even if they were in the kingdom. You ran away from the old man, clinging to Telemachus for comfort. He rubbed your back softly and chuckled quietly to himself. You had already started crying in fear, but Telemachus knew the truth, so he found it a bit funny..
