Summary
“I wish you would have taken one of them for a husband before the ships left. Either. I see them both as my sons, you know this.”
“You ask much of me,” you reply, jaw in your palm. Mouth lazy and face flush with wine. Either. But you are greedy. “There is nothing to do about it now. There are no men in Thessaly.” Deserters, cowards, elders. No actionable men, said without saying.
Wait for me. Us, also said without saying, just in your ear. Four words you tuck between your fingers and run your thumb over often, as you would a warm stone.
They will be back. Gods will it.
