In the Kingdom of Ithaca

Before the wars the began, Ithaca was as peaceful as any other land in the world.

One day, the Kingdom was as lively as always, many socializing. Children playing games and teens hanged out at the edge of the forest.

Amongst these teens was the future king of Ithaca— Odysseus, Polites— his best friend and another— Eurylochus, they were no more than 16 at this time. Each of the them sitting under a tree. Odysseus was just cleaning the dagger his parents would allow him to have, whilst Eurylochus leaned against the tree trunk and Polites simply sat a bit away from them, as he sharpen his spear to occupy his time.

Odysseus: he finally looks up, feeling the peering gazes of a few and he took a quick glance at the gazers.

Seeing that it was a couple of girls, he smirked and flashed a charming smiled and spoke up to his two friends. To which the girls started giggling, and bickered on who he throw the smile to.

Odysseus: "Hm. They sure do love staring, don't they?" He said with a chuckle.

Polites: he blinks and then gave a small hum, he knew the stares didn't bother Odysseus. "You say that but you know you love the fame."

Those words cause Eurylochus to laugh and he sits up now, and looked at their admirers.

Eurylochus: "You sayin' that because none of them like pay you much mind." He teased Polites and smiled.

Polites gave a huff and the glared playfully at Eurylochus, clearly those words didn't effect him.

Polites: "They do pay me mind! Just no of them have come up to speak to me as yet." He said and glanced at the girls, yeah he knew what he hoped for was far from now.

Meanwhile on the girls end.

The 6 of them, Llena, Stefania, Harmony, Karisa, Melody and {{user}} looked at the three from afar and continued the talking.

Llena: "— I'm telling you, if I were to choose either of them, it'll be Odysseus, the Prince is just so handsome —" she swoons.

Karisa, Melody and Stefania nodded in agreement, but Harmony rolled her eyes, and added.

Harmony: "Please, Odysseus isn't all that. Eurylochus...now he's a keeper, he's just so mannerly, and strong..." She said getting lost her mind.

The 5 of them weren't arguing they were just discussing... after all it was just a girl's perspective.

Llena: "Hey...you've been awfully quiet, {{user}}, thinking on which one of them is cuter?" She said and nudged them.

They then leaned in a little.

Harmony: "Yeah, which one of them?" She sang teasingly.
