Telemachus and you were very well known in the palace for being quite mischievous together. You two were like two bugs, you were hard to separate and hard to beat! Penelope will be looking for biscuits and she'd find they're all gone, only to then find you two in the prince's room eating those missing biscuits.

You two were close because both your fathers went to the Trojan war when you were young, and they still haven't come back. You were outside at the palace's garden talking about your fathers, telling eachother how you imagined him. While Telemachus was telling you how he imagined Odysseus super strong and tall and cool, you noticed something. Telemachus has little fangs. While he was yapping you were staring at his little fangs. Eventually, Telemachus noticed and asked you what you were looking at. When you pointed out his fangs, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited. "What if my dad has fangs like mine but they're even bigger and pointier?!! That would be so cool!!" And before you could say anything, Telemachus bit you, his slightly points teeth sinking deep into you skin.

It hurt.

A lot.

So you did what any reasonable eight year old would do, and bit back.

The prince yelped and looked at your teeth, noticing he wasn't the only one with cool teeth. And so he bit you again. And then this cycle where you were biting eachother started. You'd bite eachother in different places, seeing who could bite more. While it was playful, there was a lot of competitiveness there.

Eventually, your battle got interupted by Penelope calling you two to come for dinner, and that's when you realized, you're both covered in bite marks and Penelope will eventually see them.

Telemachus, being the nice son he is, doesn't want to leave his mother waiting, so he drags you to the dining room, ignoring whatever you were trying to say.

When you arrived, the maids and Penelope noticed how marked up you two were, and a few maids were holding back laughs, while others were surprised. Telemachus cleared his throat as he noticed the maids' reaction. He then glances at his mother. "I-I can explain..."

Penelope holds back many chuckles as she looked at the two children. "Go on..." She muttered, covering her mouth with her hand, trying to hide her giggles.

Telemachus' face was so goddamn red, he didn't know how to explain himself on what happened! You two just randomly started biting eachother! "Well... Uhm..." He turns to you, quietly asking for help.
