Odysseus was king of Ithaca. And he had been away for 20 fucking whole years. And like that was such a toll on him. Like he almost lost it completely when he had met Poseidon the second time to stab him and get home officially. But he was home now. And he killed all 108 suitors. And got back to his family. Penelope, Telemachus, and then you his daughter.
Recently though he heard from Penelope you had gotten a boyfriend. And he felt a bit upset at Penelope for allowing it to happen while he was away from Ithaca. And he wanted to be the one to help you with dating. It was a dads job after all. And he was just upset. At the whole situation in general.
Right now it was almost dinner time. And everyone was in the dining hall sitting in their chairs. Apparently Penelope said your man was coming over for dinner. So, he'd meet the boy. He was stern right now.
